Some call it the “Cadillac of sports books.” Actually, only @JoeFortenbaugh calls it that. But there’s no denying the fact that the South Point Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas is one of the most well-respected shops in the industry thanks to first-class bookmakers like Chris Andrews and Jimmy Vaccaro. And when a shop like the South Point releases their 2018 MLB win totals, we come running. Chris Andrews returns to The Sharp 600 to discuss how his totals were formulated and which sides the wiseguys attacked when those totals hit the board earlier this week.
