Over the last 3 years, all games after the break lined at -175 or more and with totals over 9 have cashed for the favs 80% SU and 65% RL for excellent ROI

Looking at totals after the All Star break over the last 2+ years a couple distinct trends have shown themselves

Higher totals (>=10) with lines at least 130 or more tend to crash over the total near 60%

Lower totals (<10) with reasonable lines under 175 stay under almost 58% of the time


date >= today -800 and F and AASB and month < 9 and (total>=10 and line <= -130), (total<10 and line > -175)

Sometimes simple is good, so I am now looking at a super simple totals projection method/model/whatever

I use this SDQL KillerSports.com
to get this, which shows team, total today, avg total L10 games, avg runs L10, avg runs allowed L10 and same for opponent
View attachment 40958

I then imported this into excel and simple math, avg run+opp runs over last 10 games
then average that with opponents last 10 avgs
take the difference between that and todays total
something like this
View attachment 40959
Any with more than a 2 run difference should indicate a play
You have to consider stud starters, so if you have a top 15 starter like say degrom or verlander, throw them games out esp if indicating an over play

So today's picks would be CLE OVER and COL UNDER

Still 4 games haven't been lined yet

This is just something that came to mind and I thought I would track it a few days and see where it goes. I backtracked it 3 days and it went 6-3 fwiw

I'm also considering Angels Team Total OVER 5.5
  • LAA has tagged Mike Leake for 10 ERs over the last 13.2 innings against him
  • Since the break, Angels rank 5th in the MLB in runs scored
  • Angels rank 4th in the MLB for runs scored during night games this season
  • Trout bats .538 vs Leake in 30 plate appearances
  • Upton bats .424 vs Leake in 37 plate appearances
  • Simmons bats .412 vs Leake in 34 plate appearances
heck, the whole team is avg .376 off Leake with 1.059 OPS

My totals experiment I started yesterday went 3-0 so I will continue for now

Top 20 starters is subjective but this is my list, mix of young guns and seasoned vets, they have to have at least 10 starts this year to qualify

Today plays indicated: UNDERS in NY and PIT and an OVER in CLE (CIN and AZ thrown out because stud starter)Angels still haven't posted starter/line

Where is your model win% from?

My model projected win % is from my model...several different factors including, starters rating(I use sagarin nper), bullpen rest, ump factors, hot streaks and 5 different online power ratings averaged. I use no individual stats other than starters and have not figured how to work injuries into equation...yet. This gives a percentage to win. I then take actual line and convert to percentage to win and compare with my model percent to win to determine value plays. It's a work in progress and I've done 3 major revisions this year along with 5 or 6 minor changes. Was just doing it for fun, but I started playing 20 each and 40 on value plays and winning, so now I am playing considerable more but nothing huge..I play almost every projected winner equivalent of .5u and 1u on value plays. My winning has really improved(at least so far) as I rely more on the model ;)

Model value on Fish again

Note, you have to understand since there is model value on MIA, I don't necessarily expect them to win, There is value and if they played enough times you should see profit. Actually the model expects LAD to win 64.19% of the time with conditions today, but at -315 that translate to 74.68%...in other words in LA won 74 times out of 100 games at -315 you would still lose money tailing them.

If anyone is interested and doesn't know, here is how you convert money line odds to win percent

Converting Moneyline Odds
Moneyline odds, also known as 'American odds' are probably the most foreign odds format to those of us outside of North America. And at first they appear a little confusing. But it is helpful to understand what these odds represent especially when listening to Americans speaking about gambling odds in sports broadcasts or podcasts. So, let's see how we can convert Moneyline odds into their respective implied probabilities.

There are two instances of Moneyline odds.

The first are 'minus' moneylines. This is expressed as for example, -120. But what does this mean exactly? Well, let's say a bookmaker are offering odds of -120 for the Los Angeles Lakers to win a game in the NBA. This is essentially saying that to win $100 you have to bet $120. In other words, if you place $120 on that outcome, you will receive a profit of $100.

The other instance are 'plus' moneylines. This is expressed as for example +180. In this case, let's say bookmaker Sportsbet have offered odds of +180 for the New York Yankees to win a game. This simply means that if you bet $100, you will win $180.

So how do we convert the 'plus' and the 'minus' moneyline odds into their implied probabilities?

For 'minus' moneyline odds, it's the following calculation.

calculating minus moneyline odds


So let's take our example of a moneyline odds offer of -120.

Implied probability = (- (-120) / ((- (-120)) + 100)

Implied probability = 120 / (120 + 100)

Implied probability = 120 / 220

Implied probability = 0.545

Multiplied then by 100, we get the implied probability percentage of 54.5%.



Now the calculation for 'plus' moneyline odds, we make the following calculation:

calculating plus moneyline odds


So let's use our example of moneyline odds offer of +180

Implied probability = 100 / (180 + 100)

Implied probability = 100 / 280

Implied probability = 0.357

Multiplied then by 100, we get the implied probability percentage of 35.7%.

Completely agree with your Miami write up...Long run Miami does turn profit in a game like this but do I think they are going to win today...NO...everyone has a bit different opinion and I understand the value of the dog in baseball but...me personally I like to pick the winner of the game regardless of line then I go back and look at the the actual line for the game and decide if there is an angle to make money off it...just my two cents...The pitcher for Miami has some pretty nasty shit but after 5 innings its a crap shoot where the Dodgers have huge advantages...I am currently looking at this one Miami +1/2 1st 5
 
Gausman when I glanced seemed bad in day games while both teams were on good days of the week but Atlanta much better so heavy lean to over there. Logic indicates for example that Yanks have no desire for a high scoring game today and no real desire for a high scoring game by Astros
 
Who is the new pitcher playing the Cubs?

just noticed this when I seen your comment, have to do some checking. He's not in my lists

why would you ever bet mia or det vs LAD as I don't think you can ever expect them to win but truth is very very rare a team wins less than 40%...ahh but yeah I understand FF plays too, but still realistically you cant expect them to win FF either..they play 100 time and LA wins 60-70%

Regarding totals...On your averages, are you using last 10 days or last 10 games???
last 10 games
 
Who is the new pitcher playing the Cubs?

apparently this dude is a bonus baby with great stuff..may have to sit this one out and see how he performs
Now 20, Morejon is three years removed from joining the Padres for a whopping $11MM bonus as an international free agent out of Cuba. Morejon has been somewhat injury plagued since signing that deal, ESPN’s Keith Law recently noted (subscription required), yet he’s still considered one of the game’s most exciting farmhands. Both Baseball America (No. 46) and MLB.com (No. 49) rank Morejon among the majors’ 50 best prospects. In their free scouting report, Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com laud Morejon’s arsenal – which includes a mid- to high-90s fastball, two above-average kinds of changeups and a curveball – and add he could become a mid-rotation starter or better in the majors.
