What's Going on With Baseball This Year?!?!

[JRS21386]

It's so fvckin hard to crack! It's like NBA, NFL, NCAAB, NCAAFB are all decent to pick.. Baseball just throws you for a loop every single day?!

Thats why you take dogs.

Im starting to pick up on that.. This is alot like picking Hockey.. Has it always been like this or is this a funny year? I don't remember it being like this

Home dogs in baseball and in particular against division rivals......

[jjgold]

There are like 15 teams in MLB that are all basically the same, handicapping this stuff is very hard. I would bet small or stay away from it.

I agree JJ I find capping the regular season NFL and NBA a much easier assignment...overall they tend to run a bit truer to form

I would agree with this 100%

So why doesn't everyone look for Dogs all the time in baseball?

Thats good information.. Where do you find info like that?

I found that this MLB season started out VERY strangely. Like strange as in making me wonder if all the linesmakers had gotten together and decided to change the way they post odds - specifically for the angles I play.

Strange as in making me re-assess the meaning of life.

It was a real test. I was down about 30 units at one point. I'm not used to that shit.

But it has rebounded and settled into the normal pattern I would expect.

bet every home dog today and let us know how u do

[20Four7]

I never said bet every home dog.... mind you if they could hit almost 48% with dogs they probably would be doing better than they currently are.

i regret about not going against the nationals this season.i know they have won 4 in a row,and the odds have been high in the yankees series,but for some reason the odds makers have favored the nats alot of times at home this.this team sucks,and the so called exspert say they should break the losing record held by the mets.have you been taking advantage?

[JRS21386]

Thanks! And Congrats on your 1000th Post!

[20Four7]

Covers has info similar to what I posted. I keep track of every game, pitcher, umpire, vs. r handers, vs. l handers, over/under units won, home, away you get the idea. Spreadsheets can be wonderful things for keeping track of things
