wouldn't it be easy to backtest on games pulled from last year
to find the most consistant formula?

You can also click on the categories highlighted in red to go to an individual page devoted just to that approach, which breaks it down in much greater detail.
It's a lot to take in and you can easily become overwhelmed quickly. Try to break down each section and create your own notes on the ones you think would be useful. I found the DIPS ERA to be an interesting read, especially once you click the red heading and read the in-depth page.
Even tho it's still Spring Training, you should become familiar with the formulas you want to use for the regular season, and do a number of examples yourself so once the Season begins, you'll be able to run these much quicker.

Butta... I've already mapped out how I'm going to go about this... and it includes letting the teams play for a week to build some stats for this year.
A lot of sabermetricians will say you need to use career stats for a lot of the formulas but I'm going to do my own average using 3 different sets of numbers (career, last season, current season). In order for me to do this, I need to have some current season stats to go off of. Thus why I haven't been active yet.
I'm also a student and we're into exams now so I'm busy with that as well.
It's a long summer my friend, hope to see you around through all of it.

This is a great thread!
I think the DIPS ERA calc is a good tool for evaluating pitchers but I have a question about which stats to use. At the begining of the season you would have to use last years stats but for how long. After how many games could you use 2010 information, 5,10,... Maybe I'm making a bad assumption about using last years stats and we should use career stats. Does anyone have an opinion on this?

Over the first 5 games of the season, I took it easy and started developing a formula. Over the next 5 games, I started to finalize my formula.
Over the next 10 games, I will be testing and modifying this formula.
Games 20-30 will be wagered on lightly, but the formula will still be adjusted if need be.
By game 30, hopefully the formula will be set and producing winners on a semi-consistent basis (enough to profit). This is when I will stop tinkering and just go with the plays.
So without further delay:
Best Plays:
Astros/Cubs U9 [-115]
Marlins/Phillies O8 [-103]
Rockies [+126]
Dbacks [-106]
Giants/Dodgers O9 [-105]

The Rest:

Well... since favs hit at about a 60% clip, having about 60% favs is not a bad idea. Sure, today there are only about 30% worth of dogs but that's subject to change. Furthermore, you can use run predictions to know whether a heavy fav warrants a run line play or not (-1.5).
What kind of formula are you working with?
