How sharp do you consider Pinnacle in live MLB?

So that's the question. As you know, you're only allowed to bet during intermissions, which are short but enough to place some bets. Max amount allowed is usually around 5k at -105 odds. Or just think about a similar to win amount for any other odds range.

However, to be considered a sharp market it would be reasonable to expect that the market's opinion is necessary and not just Pinnacle's, wouldn't you say? Thus it could be argued that the question would come down to whether the intermission is time enough for the big guys to place their bets, or not (well actually, more generally, whether they are placing such bets or not, time factors or any other reasons being the cause).

Considering that it's Pinnacle we're talking about, who share their API and all other facilities to get more volume, it might be reasonable to expect that enough bets are being placed; what do you guys think?

It's a high stake indeed. So you would say it all comes down to that, regardless of other factors such as the real possibility to place enough bets to correctly shape the market, etc? OK :)
