Regular season is just around the corner so I thought I'd post this early.
Going to preface this thread by saying MLB has never been my strongest suit. Mainly because I'm not a favorite bettor by nature. In MLB some of the qualifying teams are higher priced than what I'm eilling to lay. However, the systems below, if combined with some good additional support can produce a nice outcome.
You will notice that they all apply to games played up until the all-star- break. The reason for me is that I'm not productive enough to do well in games after that. New players being brought up, pitchers getting their first start, pennant races developing, etc., etc., are more than I can decipher adequately. I usually just watch and play sparingly while wainting for the playoffs. I also start to concentrate on Preseason football and the upcoming College season.
The only system I have authored below is #4. The others have been accumulated from various sources by handicappers that have a lot more experience in beating the sport than myself, and I applaud their efforts.
