    road team underdogs with a marginal starting pitching edge. best whip differential works better than most think. find road team underdog starting pitcher vs home teams with the lower whip. putting less runners on base important. forget lineups or injuries to batters or past matchups. too much legwork to do there. all that matters is how your starter is doing currently. or how bad the opponent starter is doing whip wise.

    I think MLB is the hardest to cap. Reason why... you have to factor in a lot of juice on your losses. And that doggie doesn't bark at times when you take him. It's a marathon not a sprint. But if you really need a baseball fix daily... I look at the career avgs of the players going against the starting pitcher. If one team is off by .80 to .100 I hammer it. MLB is the only sport where stats count... and technically you can't fix a baseball game. O/U yes... there's a possibility. But picking home and away... well... take a side hard to rig. And you factor in a little bit of line movement. But that's about it.

    It's great to know people are excited about MLB/baseball. Every thread you go to here... posters are excited. That's great and all... but there's no way you guys are + at the end of the year in this sport. Maybe 1% of you.

    Baseball is a zero profit sport.

    SP is an essential component no doubt but you gotta take into account bullpens - which guys are rested, overworked, unavailable and whether or not they have match-up guys (i.e. lefty v. lefty) spot pitchers.

    Juice only kills if u let it. I rarely lay more than -130. I just pass & wait for better spot. Long season so there will be plenty of spots. If u don't wanna take the time to look into all the stats & matchups just find the small plus $$ dogs & ask yourself a question "If they play this game 100x's the end result will be 50/50 plus or minus a couple"
    If you believe the answer to be true to that question then why not take plus money??

    Takes alot of variance & stress out of sweating out big favs (& big dogs for that matter) & gives you action where you won't win or lose much & allows u to stay in action & wait out the season for the really good spots that will certainly arise over the course of the (long) season.
    This is my approach

    okay so Eovaldi needs to be taken off this list. Guy has had back to back mediocre starts after 2 really good ones.

    I will be riding Tim Hudson and the Giants again today.

    There's a fine line I walk early in the season because of the managers and their tendency to give players rest...so I play extra attention to the lineups because some I feel sacrifice games early on in the name of rest. You can't survive betting baseball only betting favorites...but people have to also realize totals are also a viable option. Also, you can't wager 5-6 games a day and expect to be around very long...I find 1 game, and possible a 2nd I really like and that's it for the day

    Baseball is the easiest sport to win at. The data is all available. This sport has the most information available to lead you to the W. you just have to use a capping checklist and have 10 tabs open to use all the necessary stats and data. Price shopping is huge. 5d is a must. Overnight capping saves thousands of dollars. .05 juice is a must.

    Sundays are the worst in baseball. Early games everywhere lot of line-up up changes and guys become unavailable.

    Baseball is easy to cap, if you have 90 minutes to devote daily.
    Dogs don't always bark, but if you do your homework you can go 50/50 betting +money, do that, well, you do the math.
    Career avg. versus pitchers is indeed a good place to start to 'cap.
    You can not really fix a game, you can try with the HPU, pay attention to 2-2 counts, often an apparant strike 3 call is called ball 3 to make a full count out of what would have been strike 3.

    Baseball isn't my favorite sport, but IMO its the best and easiest to cap. As your pretty much only worried about who will win and not thinking about point spreads. Second, its much easier tp isolate the variables in baseball than in other sports. Because the interactions jappen sequentially and not at the same time like other team sports. Thirdly, capping baseball is mostly about pitching.

    After writing this though, I would say its tied with the NFL for easiest sports to handicap/bet on.
