It was FOR a day rest (or more). That's why BOTH Giants and Rockies are a play because their game yesterday was ppd. It's in the query (it's the term 'rest > 0', meaning 'more than 0 days rest' or 'at least one day rest').
I thought of 'does a day of rest or more have an impact in early months although guys shouldn't be fatigued' or 'are guys with one day rest or more motivated since they had an off day'.
And of course we have no guarantee, but it 'seems' so.
You have to understand all queries as 'hints' and not as 'guarantees'. It's still possible that 'trends' or queries which made tons of profit in the past fall off out of nowhere. And you have to make queries which make some sense at least a little bit. There are queries out there which are simply coincidence and need further investigation or fine tuning.
Most times I back the queries up with standard handicapping (looking at pitchers, other stats, sabermetrics, batter versus pitcher stats...).
You have to find the fine line of looking into games enough but not too much.
Also I like to pick plus odds or at least make a cut off at -125. It's very rare that I play bets like the one with King Felix few days ago where he was a huge favorite. As I said my average odds are about +107. I also rarely bet over/under compared to ML. And I mostly avoid picking RL. Most teams don't care if the score is 8-7 or 3-0 as long as they win.
Thanks! Yes well you can call it 'having a mind' but the thing is that I have always been interested in stats, streaks and so on. I love playing around with the database, I think I would even do it if I didn't make profit with it.
