I'm almost certain Rays will win today...

Against the Orioles with Morton on the mound.

-190 is steep but correct. Unfortunately.

I will risk -190 on spring training baseball. My first baseball bet of the year.

I loved the Rays season win total over last year but think they are vulnerable this season. They got surprising production from some unknowns, and after a year of film, some will regress. Morton is getting up in age and Snell & Glasnow are injury risks. Bullpen usage was highest in MLB last 2 years and that usually spells trouble.

Waste of time. Of course my first baseball bet of season ends in a tie.

Baltimore win train had to stop eventually but not what I had envisioned...

Nevermind, it opened bigger than where its at now. Just the jump got my eye this morning. From -150 or so to -165. It doesnt take much in spring training games I guess though.

This is true. But movement on Nationals against the Orioles today. Juice. Gotta be some methods to the madness.
I would want to know what the steam is about before blindly firing on Wash. Some managers don’t really care about the games while others do. Baltimore has a lot of spots open, it will be competitive from their angle.

I would look on twitter for the beatwrirers and see if they threw some good info out there.

TYVM Morgan William!!!
Do books even offer those in spring training? The other question I have is why lay -190 on a lineup that will get 2 AB's, then get replaced?

No idea. Couldn't even begin to say the last time I bet a MLB game

But I see 5D does have F5 lines

Most books have 20 cent MLs, totals, some have F5 lines and RLs. However, they are all ACTION (including MLs) which means no listed pitchers for totals, RL and F5 which are standard for the regular season.
 
You will see some quick moves for the games as the lineups are disseminated a bit slowly. The sharper syndicates have guys on site literally asking players and coaches who is playing. They are also watching the routines of some players and pitchers and can figure out those guys aren't going that day. And if its split squads they get a huge edge in figuring out who is around in a couple minutes well before others do. Huge information edges to the sharp guys who invest, its probably second to the edges tennis bettors get from being on site.
