My guess: Sox -180.

If that turns out to be high, I would credit that to Boston's perceived Aug-Sept swoon (I say "perceived", because I believe they didn't struggle in Aug-Sept, they were just resting everybody--hell, Manny took a whole month off).

If the "perceived swoon" drives the price down, that makes a Red Sox bet what we like to call "Old Fashioned, Country-style Value".

Wow.

After typing that, I went to WSEX, where they are running a trading exchange on the AL pennant.

At this very second, the current price on the Sox translates to -194, while the tribe takes back +164.

I can't say that I know how exchange prices compare to series prices (you can't sell off a booked bet in the middle of the series, the way you can an exchange purchase).

If those prices are an accurate indicator of what the bookies will hang up, then I apologize for wasting our time with the "perceived swoon" drivel.

That was good stuff there, and works pretty damn well.

But you forget one thing: The Red Sox are the Boston Red Sox, and the Indians are the Indians.

thats a joke. this series is much closer to a coin flip than that, especially considering Cleveland will be just as rested as we are. I think we're a small favorite

Turns out you're both right. They just put up the line at Pinnacle. Red Sox -162.
