    TK MLB Plays - 2015

    Between the NBA and now March Madness, baseball is quietly approaching. Crazy considering we have another snow storm coming tomorrow in NY (small one).

    I'm still in the middle of doing my team by team research - not sure what im doing for autos yet, but i have a few in mind. Will still be riding with B3 unders pretty heavy. I also want to start looking at FIP more this season for pitchers.

    Good luck fellas!

    im actually not doing the umpires this year. i had no success 2 years in a row, so im ditching. me and expresso came up with a bunch of autos - i'll post once we finalize.

    i will def still look at umpire data for over/unders on my non auto plays...

    I never do futures (except when in vegas), but if I did I'd look at Blue Jays, Mariners, and maybe STL.

    I like cubbies tonight too.

    Tommy, like your M6 auto a lot, have seen some good numbers on it (for whatever it's worth, in my notes i have it as stronger in daytime than at night). Anyway, both Twins/Tigers (42 degrees) and Cards/Cubs (48 degrees) both expected to be cold at first pitch tomorrow. BOL!

    i don't autoplay umps. i have ump factors (like park factors and weather factors) that i use as an overlay on my game total prediction in my model. i alter my ump factors on a regular basis throughout the season. these guys get graded by MLB and some will change their zones over time.

    as i recall, it didn't help you that you had a couple of guys as autoplays in recent years that either were injured (McClelland - RIP, you beautiful over machine; Holbrook - returns tomorrow in Cincy) or even worse changed their stripes (Guccione, Danley, Wegner --- all from over to under umps). that was just plain bad luck in the autoplay realm.

    more importantly than all that, glad to hear that life is good!

    Miller had a bad year as far as unders go but if you look at his strike and walk % it appears it was bad luck. I am going to ride unders with him again this year in hopes of the luck going the other way. Luckily I missed him last night in Oakland. I will also be on Holbrook and Reynolds (both go tomorrow fyi) for overs.

    BOL this year. I will be checking in when I can. Thanks for posting

    Vegas takes into account the umpires when setting lines. If you autobet every game, you're bound for failure. It's like saying you're going to bet a team because of an underrated hitter/fielder. They affect a tiny part of the final outcome of the game, they don't change the entire landscape

    Yeah, there are certain situations, matchups, ballparks, etc. that I avoid.
