Betting on the ML in baseball does not make sense. I am into betting on team totals. Tonite my bet was on the Cardinals team total under 4 runs. Correia is probably the 2nd best pitcher for the giants and his numbers were better at home in 2007. In Correira's 1st game at Milwaukee this season, I took the brewer team total under 4.5 runs and lost by a half run. I decided to take the cardinals going under 4 runs as I wanted to bet the under on Correia's opponent. I took the Cardinals Under 4 runs (at -120). Team totals are much easier to figure out than who is going to win the game.
I do have a play on the padres team total under 3.5 runs friday night. The padres have difficulty scoring runs in night games on the west coast. The padres have played 5 night games in CA. In 4 of those games, the padres scored 2 runs or less. The Padres will be facing Brad Penny who was 15-3 with a 2.63 era in night games for 2007.
We as handicappers need to understand what kind of impact day/night games have on pitchers and hitters. The weather can also impact a baseball game.
