Giants/Braves line

Anyone have any theories on why this line is the way it is? I'm getting it at Giants -105
Braves -105. Obviously the Braves are good at home but Lincecum has some pretty good numbers against them. Just looking for some outside opinions.

I am thinking that because Lincecome has gotten rocked a few times of late they are taking that into account as well...6-3 win against them but that was way back in like April and they still got 3 runs on him and he was pitching lights out in April...TT looks like they are spotting Atlanta 3, O/U around 6.5 to 7, so line is where it should be IMO, much better Braves pitcher going this time...

same as rjb said above... I believe the braves are sporting the best home record in baseball right now at 36-14 and don't let JJ's record and ERA fool you, he is 3-0 at home this year (though Braves have won all 5 of his starts) with a 1.71 ERA.

Right when you posted this the line went to -106 braves and over 7 -105...NICE!

I remember last year when Lincecum pitched in Atlanta and he got hit around some. I like the Braves tonight, Jurrjens is a good pitcher.

I think my Philly bias was getting the best of me. Well at least I didn't take the Giants tonight.
