I'm just wondering if the bulk of the bets are made immediately before the game, skewing the odds further in our favour. Or something.
Generally speaking Taxi it is better to wait closer to game time when we are betting against Boston, NY Yankees and the NY Mets. The odds on their opponents will tend to be more favorable as it gets closer to game time because the public usually bets on the teams we are betting against. I just put in an early bet on that first game so people could follow what teams I am betting on. But yes you are correct. It is usually best to wait closer to gametime before making the bet.

Here is my bet on the second game in the Bos./Oak. series:

$110 on Oak. +102 (Lester/Harden must start) (Bet at Pinnacle)
