Managers rest their players in certain spots throughout the season making drastic effects on every aspect of the game that we can wager on. Definite lineups are only available thirty minutes before the game. By that time we might as well be taking the closing line. Has anyone found any insight about resting patterns of ball clubs?
So many games, we need a huge team searching for this info. I remember catching a bunch of coaches saying they would field youth teams and even "give up" on the games, because they weren't important for them. But this mostly happened at the end of the season in the English lower division leagues. It happens more often but it's hard to find.
