You might want to take into consideration first 5 since those values are for starting pitching.
538 is a great source imo, but just like everything it's all how you use the data. I'm sure there's an edge that can be gained with the pitching values, it just might not be as simple as what you're doing now.
For my manipulated games system. It was something I had read in a book a while back so I just started doing some sorts implementing that approach to try to get my data to mirror the manipulated games and that's how the system I've been posting was developed. The data that was showing up based on the way I was sorting the games with the deflation/inflation backed up what I was thinking/knew the entire time.
Try to think of something "more," some kind of logical approach in relation to baseball or the sports betting industry in general. Be as creative as you can and and then try to manipulate the data to fit that scenario and see what the results look like. That's what I recommend.
