Newbie here. I'm trying to compile some historical MLB odds data for a friend who is developing his model. Ultimately what he would like is open/close moneylines and totals, for all games in the 2011 and 2012 seasons. Preferably in csv format, tho at this point I'd be happy to get the data in any format at all, and deal with getting it into the right format myself.

I'll then need to associate each game's data, with retrosheet's event data.

This data appears to be available on both this site, and oddsportal.com (and others i'm sure). After googling a little, it appears that one way to go about this is to do a bunch of data scraping? But I'm wondering if this data is available in some organized format from either source directly. Free is better of course, but I'm not opposed to paying for it.

Any tips or hints on how to best proceed with obtaining this data?

Or, maybe I'm asking the wrong question? How about either:

a) Does anyone here have this kind of data that I could buy from them?

b) Where might I find someone who I could pay to obtain this data?

Bump. I'm looking for similar info. Any ideas where I can buy some archived MLB odds??
