Las Vegas says sock-it-in on Peavy and the Padres for today's
2008 San Diego seaon opener.
Padres - $1.60 favorite
The "total runs" line is just 7... so the forecast is a low-scoring
Padresvictory. 5-2 sound about right?
Translation: bet 160 to win 100 if you like San Diego, or
wager 100 to win 150 on the Astros.
DISCLAIMER
Hoover does not bet, and urges others to avoid doing so.
But the Las Vegas linemakers do amazing statistical re-
search to generate the betting lines, so it is worth noting.
