Of all the power ratings out there, one that I highly respect would have to be Teamrankings.com. These guys offer a free listing of all kinds of power ratings in all sports such as home, away, last ten power ratings.
Taking a look at the series which ended yesterday, I figured out which teams had a power rating advantage.
Taking a look at the Tampa Bay / Baltimore series as an example, the away power rating for Tampa Bay was 103.0 and the home power rating for Baltimore was 92.8 giving Tampa Bay a +10.2 advantage (103.0 - 92.8)
I figured out the advantages for all the games and this is what I got :
* Chicago Cubs: +8.7
* Philly : +7.1
* St Louis : +6.7
* San Diego : + 0.6
* Cincinnati : +1.5
* San Francisco : +5.1
* Kansas City : +1.5
* Texas : +7.9
* Boston : +0.9
* Seattle : +2.2
* Chicago White Sox : +4.7
* LA Dodgers : +2.1
* Colorado : +9.3
* LA Angels : +0.9
Now the teams with an advantage of 5.00 or better were :
Tampa Bay, Colorado, Chicago Cubs, Philly, St Louis, San Francisco and Texas
These teams won their series with an overall record of 15-6 on the ML or 71.4% regardless of the pitching matchups.
Imagine what you could have done if you actually capped these games to weed out the few losses : 80% or better could have been achieved.

I bet on teams with an advantage of 5.00 or better depending on the pitching matchup. I pick only 1 game per series which offers the best pitching matchup for the team with an advantage of 5.00 or better.
The approach works well in the long run and is profitable.
