Look at LT Profits. He plays mostly totals, he's one of the best cappers on this site, and he's down over 40 units for the year.
I keep hearing about these cappers who are money with totals -- where are they? Other than paco, I haven't seen anyone consistently hitting. Bullpens are so bad these days that you just can't prepare for some of the late-inning shit you either see or don't see on a given day.

I love NFL and NBA totals.
MLB = crapshoot. Depends on if your bum middle reliever is awake in the bullpen when he gets the call to come in.

Here's my analysis: everything in the world would point to an over here, so play the under.
There. Now I'm an MLB totals expert.

How is LT profits one of the best cappers on this site? No offense, but he's certainly not a good capper for baseball. I don't "tail" or "fade" people blindly, but I do look at his picks and feel like I get a boost if he's on the opposite side from me. Not saying I'm a great of even a good capper, but I'm up a significant amount of units in baseball and I play totals probably 20% of my total plays.
If you don't feel like you have an edge with totals, DON'T bet them. There's no shame in that. I almost exclusively bet unders. It's very rare that I get an over even when I feel like it's a sure thing. There are too many variables related to scoring runs as you said. BUT, you should be able to better analyze a good under situation (weather, starters, batters vs pitchers, travel, streaks, etc.)
Stop whining about it and quit betting them.

I like betting on totals more than betting on the money lines. Personally, my record is better on totals than other bets.

PS...I'll give you a free prop that will hit to make you feel better about pushing your total. Felix Hernandez over 6.5 strikeouts at even money.
That said I don't condone prop bets.

He's a very sharp gambler who, up until the past two seasons, had done very well in MLB -- mainly betting totals.
Totals have been a public haven this year. Look at all the posters celebrating their push on the over 9 this afternoon.

Ralphie im glad it worked out for you but buying .5 points on totals can not be a plus move long term...-162 for a total you gotta be crazy, ill take the push (if i played it that is)......

Like I said, it's nothing personal and I don't know anything about his history. But he's been pretty off this year and a useful contrast to my picks. SF/FLA under will hit today. I grabbed it at 7.5 last night, down to 7 now. Don't bet it...don't listen to me. Stay away from totals and you'll be a happier lad. Just telling you what I have for today.

This is a weird day for totals, nothing really stands out... SEA/CWS U6.5 and MIN/KC O7.5 were my initial thoughts... but can't see a great edge in this.
