Why do the Cubs pay more without the points than with them?

They are getting points so it makes the bet easier per sey. Thus the payout is less.

While the Dbacks are giving up points not getting so their payout is more because its harder.

Dumpster vs. Doug Davis. I wanna go all in for the Cubs, but odds are crap.

I thought that +1.5 meant that they have to win by at least 2. That is harder than winning straight up but it pays less than the straight up bet.

Nope, you're right. -1.5 means that they are favored. Sorry.
