How to hit 70% (or better) in MLB using Teamrankings.com

Thanks - I'm glad this isn't a chase system. I am excited to see the results, thanks again Nabil!

You're welcome

I wouldn't recommend you bet on all the games regardless of the pitching matchup

Cap the games and focus on the best plays. With a little luck, you could make a killing

Outstanding Stuff Nabil..

I also like betting on Dogs that win the first day to win again the next time..

The Nats -4 times this season in NY and at home vs Mil..

Hous -in Chicago..

KC -yesterday ..today?

Essentially, when a dog hits , they win AT least 1 more ..

On Thursday, I will be posting the games involving teams with an advantage of 5.00 or better along with the probable pitchers.

I would welcome your input and see what you like

just fyi...unless u went back and did this for the last 3 seasons, it just a successful trend for a few games, unless im mistaken your sample size is this seasons games only??????? thats not anything to base a system or bet real money on

this could hit at 70% for a few series and then get trashed hitting 30% for the same sample size..........

Vincenzococotti :

Been doing this for the last 14 seasons : figuring out which teams have an advantage of 5.00 or better and which games offer the team with an advantage a favorable pitching matchup

Of course, if all you do is bet on all the games regardless of the pitching matchups, there will be ups and downs and the overall winning percentage will not be that high

That is why I keep saying : CAP THE GAMES

ok nabil...thank you...i misssed the 14 years thing as well as the capping on top of it...apologies and break a leg

These are the overall power ratings.

What you need to look at is the away power rating for KC and the home power rating for Toronto

Here are the links :

Hope that helps

No, I didn't say that

I said that KC would be the play for anyone who chooses to plays all the games involving teams with an advantage of 5.00 or better

You are welcome to post the plays you like among the 15 games the 5 teams with an advantage of 5.00 or better will play in the coming 3 days

It would be interesting to see what you all can come up with

Reading what I just wrote, let me rephrase that

I did say that it is better to play the games with the best pitching matchup but I didn't say that I will actually play KC tonight

KC is likely to win 2 games out of 3 and they stand a chance to win tonight's games but there are better games among the 15 games the 5 teams with an advantage of 5.00 or better will play in the coming 3 days

I am expecting a community effort here

I will be posting all the games on Thursday for the next series and inviting everybody to contribute to the thread

There is strength in numbers

I like many of you may have started the season with a huge bang...but in the last week have lost big time.   

Reading this "formula to win 70%"...    isnt what you are really saying is that the Better team will win (when you think about it)   Its not like you this formula can and ever will predict Baltimore to SWEEP the Yankees or something.

I have spent all morning going through the 1st 4 series in the AL...   We started the 5th series last night and tonight so I will not include in what I backtracked on your "formula"

To Date, using this formula....

Teams rated higher to win have won 12 out of 22 games in the AL in series 1; 14 out of 20 games in the AL in series 2; 8 out of 22 games in the AL in series 3; and 18 out of 24 games in the AL in series 4.   FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF 52 out of 88 games 60% Winners.

Teams with a greater differential of 5 or higher (as the formula says)   have won 10 games out of 13 games in the AL 76% winners.  

Losing games with differential of 5 or higher were Det (98.5)@ Sea (105.8); TX (103.5)@ CLE (95.6); Minn (103.2) @ CWS (98.0)..  

AND KC LAST NIGHT (when i jumped on board)  

Will try to post the NL if anyone has not done so later.

If you're using rankings from this season, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever to base your plays on such limited info.

I question the rankings, do you really believe KC is likely to win 2/3 games on the road against any team considering they've been one of the worst teams in baseball and have only won once in Toronto since 2007 (and I was at that game against Greinke).

BOL with your plays though

Gle, did you use the same rankings in doing that backtracking?

I highly doubt it because they are constantly changing, so you would have to use different numbers for every single game.

I thought I was being cute when I took KC for first 5 innings, figuring they had starting pitching edge along with power rating advantage. Minus having to deal w KC pen.

KC was hitless and managed 1 baserunner through 5.

After viewing the rankings, it looks like they are calculated and posted daily.  If so, would it not be helpful to re-examine these rankings on a daily basis, within a series to identify the most desirable games.

Example:  Everyone was posting about KC being a good play in TOR last night.  KC was a loser, so their power ranking has changed.  Now the KC road ranking is 100.1 and the TOR home ranking is 97.3, giving KC an advantage of 2.8.... this is no longer a favorable matchup, correct?

I am not trying to poke holes in the system, I am just trying to get a better understanding of the way it operates.  I think it has some valid points, I am just trying to understand them better. 

Thanks for putting you idea out here, I'm interested in seeing how it goes.
