Is this a correct arb?

[Bulbarainey]

LA @ Philadelphia
-115 Phil at SIA
+127 LA at matchbook

Is this the right way to do it? Put 115 on Phil do you would get 215, then 100 on match so you would get 227, either way you make 15 or 27$. edit: i see whats wrong in my math, betting 115 to win 100 and 100 to win 127, so then you would either break even or make $12? Is there something else I am missing? im a newb at this, thanks

I think you're misreading the lines, because there is virtually no way there's an open 12c ML scalp in baseball.

I checked SIA and the -115 is for the under 10 total, while the moneyline is -130. definitely make sure you're betting two sides of the same proposition.

in the figure, if you do see a real arb like that, I would structure it something like this:

-115: bet $115 to win $100 (you wrote $110 in the OP)
+127: bet $95 to win $120.65...or something close like that
