    Thanks SN. Good job Bizarro. That line movement was interesting but in the end meant nothing. 

    TB@BAL UNDER 8 - LOSE $100
    CLE ML 1.70 - WIN $170

    Overall profit: -$30, -0.30 Units

    Record to Date: 77W - 48L, +8.85U
    Starting Bankroll: $10,885
    Current Bankroll: $10,885, +$885

    Total Profit to Date (after 15 days of betting): +$885, +8.85 Units flat betting $100 per pick. This averages 0.59 Units profit per day. Current win % is 61%

    Back in an hour with today's picks. Lots of promising spots.

    Thanks Hab. I will do my best to contribute. My goal is to give you guys 28 days of betting, and profit 28 units. Hopefully we can finish strong, but i'd be happy with 14 units profit. 

    I mainly bet NHL, so I will be providing NHL picks after MLB ends. Goodluck today.

    Rough night in Totals. 5W, 6L overall. Totals have been all over the place this year. Going to stick with ML the rest of the way and re-evaluate the Totals model.


    CIN@PIT UNDER 7.5 1.87 - WIN $187
    MIA@ATL UNDER 7 2.02 - PUSH
    COL@ARI OVER 8.5 1.88 - LOSE $100
    MIL@SF UNDER 7 1.95 - LOSE $100
    DET@CWS OVER 9 2.00 - LOSE $100
    WAS@SEA UNDER 6 1.92 - LOSE $100 


    ARI 1.71  - WIN $171
    BAL 1.54 - WIN $154
    TB 1.57 - LOSE $100
    DET 1.65 - WIN $165
    KC 1.68 - LOSE $100
    TEX 2.19 - WIN $219

    Total cost of bets: $1100 (including 1 push)
    Total winnings: $896
    Overall profit: -$204, 2.04 Units



    Record to Date: 82W - 54L, +6.81U
    Starting Bankroll: $10,681
    Current Bankroll: $10,681, +$681

    Total Profit to Date (after 16 days of betting): +$681, +6.81 Units flat betting $100 per pick. This averages 0.43 Units profit per day. Current win % is 60.3%


    Back with ML plays in an hour or so.

    My Covers picks history clearly shows a big advantage in ML vs Totals. I missed a few plays here and there and that's why the record isn't the same as my thread, but obviously I am doing much better in ML this year.

    one other thing and apologize if it was explained already but how do you arrive at a play? Pitcher, team current state of play, $ being wagered, stats, etc?

    thanks

    Np Hoyasaxa. I use over 100 variables, with each variable given a weighted percentage. I can't list them all as there is too many but i can tell you the most important ones. Starting pitcher ERA and WHIP, every projected bullpen members ERA and WHIP that may enter the game, Pitcher and bullpen strikeouts, strikeout rate of opponent, defensive efficiency, runs per game overall season, runs per game last 10 games, runs per game last 3 games all averaged, batting average of home team and road team batting average. 

    Basically I enter all the data in my custom program I wrote in C++ and my program calculates a winner. I then compare the selection to the market price and if I believe its +EV I will bet, if it is not I will pass. 

    This should help you get started. Good luck with your capping.

    do you weight runs per last 10 games and 3 games higher than season because baseball is very much mental...ex: A's and Giants going opposite right now...

    I hear stat guys all the time say they can't consider this but historically it's a proven factor or Peyton Manning would have won like 10 Super Bowls, no?

    Yes, runs the last 3 games 40%, last 10 40%, season 20%.

    The true percentage is higher for season as it obviously includes the last 3 and 10. 

    The percentage is greater simply because it accounts for injuries, slumps, hot steaks, travel fatigue, etc...

    hey Sharp, you probably could write a 1200 word essay on this answer, your outline is direct. basically, your using an innovated (by your own mind) data formula, connecting sabermetrics to handicapping a baseball game, powered by Base_Runs / Runs_ Created; that you have fine tuned with numerous advantageous perimeters of initiated concept, with the focus being on all aspects of the pitching game (SP MR CLOSER)

    vg results last night 6-2 with the CLE-vs-KC suspended in extra innings (to be played in CLE at a later open date) nice payout on your SEA WIN
