Reverse Run Lines – Baseball Bets

I’m looking to point out that pinnacle only has run lines up for favorites on their primary MLB Bet page.  This was a little trippy fact for me to clue-in on as it highlights how sneaky odds can be.  If you were making a list of People with Exceptional Observational Skills, I would not be among the leaders.  Makes me feel a bit like

Me = the mouse

Pinnacle = scientist

Favorite run line = slightly moldy cheese stuck right in front of me

Alternate run line = better quality cheese placed off to the side behind the paper mache curtains?

This might not be entirely accurate, but it is interesting that not only are the alternate run lines not on the main MLB page, but at this moment, 9 EST, the alternate run lines are still not up yet.  They are in the “Betting to Be Available Soon” section.  Do lines like these require extra work to figure out, or does pinnacle hold off putting them up because they are much shakier business for The House?  This seems like a question for Dr Lou so I’m going to see if we can get him on here to discuss this.  While doing 34 seconds of research on this issue I came across an internet thread “Does anyone know of a reliable book where you can parlay alternate run lines in baseball?”  I like where all of this is headed.

  • 20 Units on Baltimore -1.5 +131
  • 17 Units On Red Sox -135
  • 19 Units on Tampa Bay +150

Only one winner yesterday.  946.97 is where things stand

UPDATED NOTES AND PICKS…As of 2 EST the Alternate Run Lines were up on pinnacle.  I have enough time on my hands to keep up with this over the next few days and try to figure out when these lines usually go up and attempt to get a reason for the delay.  You would think it would be pretty much a set formula once the run lines are established.  And now essentially obligated to insert reverse run line picks tonight, we’ll go with…

  • 15 Units on Seattle -1.5 +175
  • 12 Units on NY Mets -1.5 +197
  • 33 Units on Colorado +1.5 -308
  • 9 Units on Tampa Bay -1.5 +249
