At most, that game should have been maybe -240 or -260.
The final line (at least with my source) was -220... and their "estimated line after detailed analysis" was -172 (Final Score: KC 8, OAK 7)

As for CLE (Sabathia) the line was only -130... and their estimated line actually put them at +134 (Final Score: CLE 4, CWS 3)

So yeah... it could be a helpful guideline to see who's favored, but as we all know, anything can happen in baseball! Like Glaus & Wells hitting 5 HRs combined tonight. Or Lance Freakin' Niekro hitting 2 HRs upon returning from the DL...
