New project: totals

[No coincidences]

I fvcking hate baseball totals with a passion -- I think they're very flukish and you have to be incredibly lucky to win long-term playing them.

So what am I going to do? See if I can beat my fear into submission. At worst, this thread might become a fade machine that you can really make some money on the opposite side of what I play.

Monday (8-15)....

Plays:
LAD/MIL under 8.5
TEX/LAA over 8.5

Leans:
NYY/KC under 9.5
FLA/COL over 10.5
StL/PIT over 8.5

[Duby]

I feel the exact same way. Lol

Best of luck!

[Blind Monkey]

Plays:
LAD/MIL under 8.5
TEX/LAA over 8.5

Leans:
NYY/KC under 9.5
FLA/COL over 10.5
StL/PIT over 8.5

LAD/MIL should hit
TEX/LAA should hit
NYY/KC should hit
FLA/COL should go under
STL/PIT should go under

Ok coin I like your approach to things, your a solid capper but totals arent your thing because you approach them like you cap teams individually.

First you need to take each team for their true state, how many runs do they normally get & adjust from there. Be honest & not blinded by a few games. Then ask yourself how many runs would each team realistically need to put up to win if everything was vanilla & even.

This would be a better thread if you took every game, and flipped a coin.

It would work as a continuation of your hypothesis stated above.

[borednaz]

Blind is actually spot on , with the exception of Kc/ny because that is a coin flip depending on if AJ gives up enough runs. Since Aj is always a schitzo you'll never know. Ive also noticed the yankme's love to not show up on the first game of a series unless its handed to them.

Pitt& Stl like to not score for crap out of the blue.
And evwn if they did one will win by 3 or 4 run max to the others 2. Col & Flor will not bother to score. Florida can stop the roxs but win or lose Fla is not putting up more than 3 in Colorado .

[Ralphie1412]

I like NC but his inability to win totals is pretty insane. Im on the fade train in this thread.
