It really has to be the hardest sport to predict, especially if you bet every single day. I think you can win if you really really pick your spots and are extremely disciplined, but too many variables if you bet daily. Too many shitty pitchers in the bullpen, unpredictable errors, etc etc.

For example, watching this Mets game and d-backs have bases loaded 1 out, guy hits a dribbler back to the pitcher, he clearly has no play at 1st by the time he gets it and instead tries to make the throw and throws it away, bam 3 runs score when only 1 should have. How do you predict that shit?

But on the other hand, even the worst team will win 60+ games, so that's at least 60 opportunities to bet a +130 or higher dog and cash in... playing RRL can be profitable too, because almost daily there will be at least 1 game decided by 3+ runs.

But of course, the problem is there's just too many games and we get too caught up and lose. Baseball betting is set up for you to lose, simple as that
