Looking for a profitable season again this year but I know that in this business, it can turn the wrong way on a dime.
The purpose of this boils down to two things.
1. the clustering of teams are going to fall around 80 wins. What it says is that 10 games either way defines good and bad. The outliers are your elite team and doormat teams @+/- 15 from center. This isn't very much in the big picture so there's really value with ML dogs or even paying a few dimes for juice.
2. Pitching is the key. Not that I really needed to state this but it's worth repeating particularly to those just starting out betting baseball.
I label teams not as good or bad. I quantify their value by saying for example, this is an 80 win team or this is a 70 win team. It's a big picture approach that helps me look at what games to even consider then it's on to pitching analysis and of course a little sprinkle of the details like ballpark, PvB, bullpen, etc.
I know there are a myriad of ways to cap bases and mine is but one but it works for me. Find something that works and go with it. BOL this season and every season.
