    Closing totals history? Points awarded!

    Where can I find a complete history of closing totals numbers for MLB? I simply can't find them anywhere. Covers just does that bullshit "8.5..9" with no ******* lines. Plzzzz and ty.

    covers has lines on total so long as it wasnt a push (don't ask me why). It gives you the line on the winning side, which you can use to calculate the line on the losing side. I believe they're 10c lines.

    SBR has a couple of different "types" of history. However, this is what you are looking for:

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/Scores/MLB+Odds/20070508.aspx

    That link will take you to May, 8th 2007, then you will see the the line history for each game and just select the total link. There is also a calendar to the right to change the date.

    BoL,

    Worthless if it is not online. How would anyone import them to a spreadsheet?

    Thanks! This is a pretty good source.
    I was looking at using covers as a closing line source, but now may switch to bigguy.com. Anyone else have any suggestions?


    I have discovered that the SBR scores site has holes in it (After spending 4 hours building a closing line scraper, of course! That work was a waste)
