When a teams scores first in the MLB

I have an interesting stats question for everyone: A team that scores first, wins what percentage of games in baseball? This could be very useful info for "bet-in-running" type wagering. I hope to get a good response, for it's the OBJECTIVE systems and stats that allow handicappers to achieve a long-term winning average of 55% (which it enough to seriously improve one's lifestyle and even retire). whereas, purely SUBJECTIVE wagering will eventually result in 50% winners causing one's bankroll to be erroded by the juice.

Lately, I'd say OH HELL YES!

You'd better be a lot higher than 55% if you're going to play even 40% chalk. GOOD LUCK!

Sakana, I believe in MLB, the team that scores first wins about 70% of the time. Not sure how this would help you, though. Obviously, shutouts contribute to this, but so what? In any game or sport, it always pays to get a jump on the opposition, as that puts pressure on them.
