Matchups in the BC Mile
Here are VIP (and Gameday's) matchups for the BC Mile:
As a reminder for those who are not used to sports betting notation:
+120 means you are getting odds of 12/10 (which is 6/5)
-120 means you have to put up 12 to win 10. (odds of 10/12)

I should mention that VIP/Gameday uses a bigger vig than Pinnacle on it's matchups. A line that VIP/Gameday has at -115, -115 might be -110, -105 at Pinnacle. But sometimes VIP/Gameday is considerably less sharp than Pinnacle, which makes up for it!
