hey guys...
i started a thread in the beginning of the season last year, and then had to abandon it, it started getting a bit of a following..... not sure if any of that crew is still around, and most bases sharps would probably poo poo this system, but i will be starting up my scoreless 1st inning thread again for opening day, except i added a new twist to it for this year it's basically laying 3 to 1 odds that a run wont be scored in the top half of the first, my goal is using this each day of the season when a particularly good pitcher with 1st inning stats to back him is at home and facing a particularly mediocre line-up
ive done some loose tracking over the past few seasons and it appears that runs in the top half of the first only occur roughly 1 in evey 4.5 games.... so my theory is that there could be a slight edge in this approach we will see.... i plan on bumping this thread for opening day and start tracking the stats capping the match ups and posting the plays for all those interested that want to join in on this thread and hash out the system....
GL to all this coming season
