I've been handicapping football and basketball for a number of years, and I'm planning on gradually moving into baseball.
I have a general question concerning baseball handicapping, and it has to do with making your own line vs. the bookmakers line. In football, I usually look for a difference of 5 or more points between my line and the book's line, but I'm not sure what kind of difference I should be looking at in a baseball moneyline. For instance, if I handicap a game and make team A -160 over team B. How much of a disparity in the book's moneyline should I see before I consider making a play.
Thanks for your opinions.
