[j_dunn2]

April 4 - NY Yankees at Boston (ESPN2) Boston W 9-7
April 11 - St. Louis Cardinals at Milwaukee Brewers Milwaukee W 8-7
April 18 - NY Mets at St. Louis Cardinals St. Louis W 5-3

May 30: Texas at Minnesota Minnesota W 6-3
June 6: Milwaukee at St Louis St. Louis L 4-3 (10 inn)
June 13: Chicago White Sox at Chicago Cubs ChiCubs W 1-0

Not really a system (or anything too too significant for that matter) but certainly worth noting that the home team has won 9 of 11 games on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball so far this season, and roughly half of the games appear to have hit the overs.

Good info! What about previous seasons?

[j_dunn2]

good question. im gonna have to do a little backtracking to find out, but hopefully it can lead us to a little sunday night success this summer

they dont like to have too much variety on sunday nights seems like the same teams playing over and over

[wolverines]

it's 10-2 for home teams on espn

[apwmel]

This might have some possibilities on the RL

[rake922]

home teams typically cheat I think

[vboyt]

everyone cheats

[cubswin]

Make it 10 -2

Wow you're all so awesome for discovering this. I bet it has statistical relevance instead of being a meaningless product of varience.

settle down now homie. i believe all trends are "meaningless products of variance" ?

yes i agree. the home teams are generally better teams and are the teams most covered by ESPN, which is why theyre recieving national exposure. Also, multiple team Aces have been going on Sunday night for the ESPN game, not sure if thats coincidence.

i think a good, winning home team, with its ace on the hill, playing on prime time national television gives it the intangibles necessary to drive that better home team past it's weaker, visiting opponent. i think a good, winning home team has a better chance to beat a weaker visiting team on Sunday night if theyre playing on ESPN than they would playing that same weaker visiting team on the Saturday night before.

call me a silly bastard but i think this makes just a little bit of sense.

we can make a system only after backtracking the last season at least
