    Pico's MLB Overs Strategy (testing thread)

    just thought about it last night. sounds pretty interesting, so I am going to test it out. I am going to post all the calc and the results in this thread. i'll also make adjustments as we go along.

    strategy is pretty simple, i am just going to bet the over. i'll pick teams that are cold at bats last couple of games so the game total should be lower.

    seems pretty flawed, but should be fun nevertheless.
