How often does the RL come into play?

stander · Jul 4, 2012

I remember reading a post about a week ago that it only came into play 15% of the time (kind of like the spread in NFL games).

If that is true, and you like a team to win, obviously taking the -1.5 RL or Rev RL would maximize profits over the long term....

Can anyone confirm this?

depends on the team - for example two teams that have positive ML stats are

Texas is 50-31 (+2.8 units) ML and 42-39 (+8.34 units) on RL -
Tampa Bay is 43-38 (+ .93 units) ML and 35-46 (-14.74 units) RL -

I see - so its definitely NOT an across the board stat ala NFL ML dogs.

Thanks for the info.

Overall,about 28% the last 3 years. I would guess it hits more in the NL though.

if you like the fav take the rl. If you are playing the dog then you need not worry about it. rl comes into play with favs about 12% if the fave wins.

MLB is very situational however. So check the team vs team first

I would throw a little on the dog -1.5 also if it can hit.

for me -- I always seem to have the late lead of 2 or 3 runs. For some reason, it seems to fall apart and I usually miss by .5 runs. That's why I don't do them very often.

I've heard this as well.

Like throwing some on the ML with a short dog in CFB...
