yeah it's kind of confusing.
It OPENED at -165, its now at -180, which is hilarious. I'm not betting that line for any team in baseball, unless it was something like the AL All-Star team vs one of our old 100-loss Royal teams, and even then the expected value would be about break even.

This is a sucker bet for people who have fallen in love with Greinke, Colon and the White Sox have a better chance to win than this.
