Las Vegas - Gonna take a look at the Red Sox with Rick Porcello over the Phillies and Drew Smyly. Not totally thrilled with Porcello's work this season. He has given up a ton of runs but has also won six of the last eight. The problem is Smiles.

Las Vegas - MINUS FIVE HUNDRED!!! What??? Been in this space, making odds for over 30 years, and have never EVER seen a baseball line at -$500. When we do our homework for each series, we're always looking at all the matchups, and tomorrow, it's Houston's Justin Verlander against Detroit's Daniel Norris.

OBVIOUSLY, Nova has found something, because that's a 0.49 ERA.
