    Bet Numbers Only

    Stop looking at stats

    Edge is only in odds

    If stats mattered many would win just like racetrack racing form

    Everything reflected in the numbers anyway your not seeing something that makes you special

    the stats are either built into the line or they arent.
    How does this philosophy differ from team sports to individual?

    usually most opening lines (odds) reflect the stats. news travel fast then lines move; so i do not understand the point The File Clerk trying to make here... care to elaborate more?

    What makes you think that you can see something in the odds that make you special?

    I get my edge in baseball prop bets from stats.
    I have to disagree with you here Coach.

    Case in point,
    JD Martinez of the Red Sox destroys LHP
    Probably the best hitter in the majors against lefties.

    Tonight Martinez faces a LHP in Ryu (Toronto)
    Martinez like I said destroys LHP.
    These are his numbers v. LHP for the past three seasons.
    The power numbers are insane, if he played a 162 game season against LHP he'd hi 60 or just about 60 HR's.

    Season Name Tm G PA AB HR R RBI BB SO AVG 0BA
    Total J.D. Martinez BOS 181 378 328 29 70 79 42 79 0.344512 0.422

    I don't see any player props posted yet.
    Let's say the prop bet for JD tonight is

    Will Martinez get a hit
    Y -110
    N -110

    What's the first question are you going to ask yourself if you make a bet on this prop?
    That's correct. "Can JD Martinez hit LHP. The answer is a resounding FUK YEAH
    You may also be wondering can Martinez hit Ryu? Thee answer once again is yes. (.300 but a small sample size)

    Those are the most important questions and answers you need to know about that prop bet.
    If the prop is -110, and Martinez's history against LHP is chances are better than 1 out of every 3 at bats results in a hit, and pretty much sets a hit every three times vs, Ryu

    Martinez is pretty much guaranteed 4 at bats tonight, and has better than a 1 in 3 chance of getting a hit (based on historical statistical data)
    Presented with this data, who has the edge here if the prop betting line is -110 man to man?

    Baseball is pretty much stat driven.

    Baseball analytics is coming to an informed conclusion on how a player or team most likely will perform when presented with all the facts and data.

    And you don't think the sportsbooks have that data?

    That line doesn't tell me enough in isolation. I want to compare around and see what the line is at as many sportsbooks as possible and see what the most trusted books have. The I have a better idea what to do.

    I have a pretty good idea what it's going to be.
    The 'y' will be juiced and the line will be around -140 / +110
    At -140 the edge is pretty much neutralized.

    As a geek who is obsessed with stats and numbers who has access to databases that I can query in a heartbeat trust me when I say the books do hang soft numbers at times on player props. They don't make a habit on that, but they do on occasions.

    Your job as a serious sports bettor is to seek out those soft numbers.
    If you're a dart thrower who is ignorant of all the data you'll get eaten alive on betting player props.

    I look at Batter vs Pitcher stats too while some dismiss it as data mining

    Some hitters just do well against some pitchers and I think those past stats can predict future performance. They see the ball better, are more comfortable with the delivery, etc.

    No.
    There's only one player that impacts the game.
    The pitcher.
    It starts and ends with the pitcher.

    If you can't hit the ball or you can't get on base, you can't win.

    You can't score a run if you can't get on base, and you can't win a game if you can't score a run.
