MLB Betting – Shopping For The Right Number Is The Key To Baseball Totals PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 09 February 2012 00:38

Regardless of the sport, there are always different numbers available across the board for the different sites listed on the sportsbook reviews. One of the most important factors to sports betting that the professional handicappers consider is to shop for the number that they went, considering all of the options that are available to them and finding the right one. This is no different when it comes to betting on baseball, and finding the right MLB total lines. Since baseball games are usually listed in advance for a series once the starting pitchers are scheduled, there is an excellent opportunity to find the appropriate number for the players that do a little shopping.

The nature of baseball totals ensures that the majority of the time the pay head bookies will adjust the odds before they adjust the actual number. For example, if a total for a given game is at 9.5, and the sportsbook receives action on the over, instead of raising the number to 10 they will usually just adjust the odds. If they get enough action they may eventually be forced to move the number, and that is where shopping around could be a huge advantage and finding the best number at the right price. In the majority of cases, it makes sense to risk the extra juice in order to get the right number, especially when it comes to baseball. Finding the right number is the most important aspect of betting the total, and at the end of the day it could come down to shopping in the right spot.
 
MLB Betting – RBI, ERA Among Most Important Statistics To Consider PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 12 January 2012 00:42

Similar to the NFL, the MLB is a sports betting option that has a seemingly endless list of statistics that can be used to break down matchups and pick winners. The craziest part about this is that the number of statistics that are available have increased with every passing year, which means there is a ton of information for players to peel through in order to figure out what is important and what isn’t needed. When it comes to baseball, there are two key stats that stand out beyond the rest, with one featured on both sides of the ball. When it comes to pitching, the ERA is the most important number to consider. On offense, a team’s RBI is among the most important statistics that is available for picking winners.

 

The reason for the ERA being the most important stat on the pitching side of the ball is because it offers a direct number to refer to in terms of how a pitcher has performed. For example, if a pitcher gets a ton of run support but hasn’t played well, then he may have a better win total or overall record than a pitcher that actually has a better ERA but a lesser win total. The pitcher’s ERA is exact, a number that can be counted on, while a pitcher’s runs can depend on factors beyond his actual performance. There is a similar reason why RBI is so important on the other side of the ball, even more than average. While a team may have several hitters that can hit for average and get on base, they could have trouble bringing them in and therefore scoring runs, which is why RBI is the most important stat to consider before looking at the lines set down by the pay head bookies.
