This came up the first time JG posted real life betting lines....

While the tream with the best chance of winning the game theoretically gives you the best chance of picking up the 5 points for the win, it is far from necessarily the best choice to get you the most pitching points in total.

Any game with the Yankees at home against a team like KC or Baltimore with a pitcher other than Mussina is a good example of that.

As far as mediocre teams like Oakland go, they don't ever deserve to be such big faves against anyone, IMO, especially with a guy like Halsey pitching.

At most, that game should have been maybe -240 or -260.
