I am sure it isnt as you cant just bet blindly and win but it seems to make sense to me to lean to unders on Sunday in MLB. I know hindsight is 20/20 as this went 9-5 so far today (with 1 pending) but being a HUGE Tigers fan I have noticed a few of my examples from years of watching them. Here are a few reasons I feel (add some if you have any):
1) Most games are "getaway" games with teams leavng town after the game.
2) Umps want to speed the game up for same as above reason
3) A lot of managers are notorius for resting catchers and other key players who need the rest, a little more on Sundays.
4) Weekend bettors are a little more public driven and the public likes to play the overs a little more than the unders.
5) A lot of games are played on Saturday nite and they turn back around and play a Sunday afternoon game, maybe making for some tired ballplayers.
Some of the reasoning seems to make sense. I know this isnt anything groundbreaking but thought it leads to a decent discussion. I was just wondering if anyone tends to play more unders on Sundays? Has anyone tracked this before? Do books slant their lines a little lower on Sundays?
