AI GeneratedThe speakers discuss the betting odds for an upcoming baseball game between Milwaukee and Tampa Bay. While they agree that Milwaukee deserves to be the favorite due to their home-field advantage and dominant record, they debate whether the current spread is an overreaction by oddsmakers following Milwaukee's sweep of Los Angeles.
I'm really surprised.
I don't know.
You tell me.
I figured Milwaukee would be favored, right?
Home field advantage, you know, best record in baseball.
But they were striving for the best record.
You know, the Dodgers were on their heels, whereas Tampa Bay, you know,
pretty much they had that division locked up with a couple weeks left.
But still, all right, best record in baseball, home field advantage.
So I'm going to give them a little bit of an edge.
But I didn't think they would be a minus 176 favorite.
I figured maybe like 150, 155 or so.
Were you surprised to see that number so big?
No, you know, it is an overreaction, Scott,
but you can't blame the oddsmakers for taking
a look at what Milwaukee did to L.A.
I mean, that's just the bottom line.
If Milwaukee beats L.A. in five or six or seven,
then I think you're getting a much different spread here.
And I think that's the predominant reason here
is because the oddsmakers have to protect themselves
knowing that this is the team that just
not just dethroned L.A., but also swept them.
and then the other factor that goes into this here
and I do think the Brewers will win the
World Series but the other factor that goes
into this here is Scott, I don't remember the last time
the Brewers lost at home, when was that exactly? Has it been a month
or so uh when did they last lose a
game there? They don't lose in that park
for whatever reason, even if they're down two one
late they come back and win
and because they have home field advantage I think that they have to
to be favored but yes I thought minus 140 minus 150 somewhere along
those lines that would have
made more sense for me uh I think that that's kind
of uh a little bit inflated yeah Angels got him
up to uh minus 182 so it's going even higher
what they're begging, they're absolutely begging
to take Tampa Bay uh maybe they know something
