Its a decent bet I think. Royals do smash lefties. But they are probably overvalued somewhat, getting less than 20% of bets. Milone had a solid game last outing. Perhaps he can bring the Royals back to what will be reality with a larger sample size.

@emancipator Man hopefully!! I feel like a rookie with figure out the facts. But you made a good point. Hmm right now I'm a just wondering do I just try to hedge it out or let it ride.

What number did you get? If you got a solid number, I'd stand pat.

Obviously if I do try to hedge it, I have to place way more to make profit if KC win. If the twins win, it would be like placing a bet on KC in the first place.. Hmm..

I am not sure if you bet a lot on twins, but if you bet within your means, your objective is to get the best number possible and I am thinking you probably did. It'd be a mistake to diminish your edge.

You are beating the sharpest book by five cents and the public is all over the Royals. In the short term, picking more winners is important to a small br, but if you are in this for the long haul, you met your objective by getting a great number.

Of course the line is now moving the other way as I typed that.
I will say this, the line does not move against the Royals without respectable money siding with the Twins.

Yea I'm trying to be in it for the long haul. Kind of rough right now. Thanks for the feedback man. Not sure what I am going to do, leaning on just letting it ride.

I make a more in depth one as the season goes on. I add a lot of stats that would be irrelevant this early in the season

Nice man. I'm going to have to create one myself, not sure how, but I'm sure there are tutorials for it. Like the idea.

Dailybaseballdata also provides a snapshot of hitter pitcher stats--though I'd argue that it's important to not overvalue this kind of data.
