Here's a little extra sauce for the goose:
Eliminating betting on teams that are on a losing streak of 3 or more games improves the results:
92-29 profit $4,910 ROI: 26%
This makes sense to me because it means most likely the team was just swept in their last series, affecting morale, etc.
Re-stated:
Play ON American League Home Favorite teams who have won at least 1 of their last 3 games in Game 1 of any interleague series.
In case some people are thinking that the RL would be better for the bigger lines, here's the results for lines of -200 and above.
ML 17-3 (-210, -210, -235) so 17.00 - 6.55 = +10.45 units
RL 10-10 probably - units.
This almost indicates that LARGE favs on the ML should also be done with the dog +1.5 if you are still getting + money on the dog.
