I view baseball betting a bit differently than most do. I don't handicap the team, but instead I handicap the line. I think often time we bet ace pitchers and/or teams who we think will win, but we end up paying too much for them. This is not to say that I don't weigh in other factors such as streaks, obp, whip, etc. I just am noting that even if we feel a team should win, at what price are we paying for it and is that price worth it?
Pretty simple concept, but most might not think to wager this way. I have not seen much discussed about this type of betting on the rx, so I thought I would inject my opinion and below is the table of how percentages break into lines.
