MLB Betting Early Season Strategies
MLB started insanely well and then sucked it while we were getting prematurely confident.
I’m going to say it again: it is still early in the season, but now, little by little, we’re getting some raw numbers with the basic annotation.
Still, though, I recommend following Systems before Raw numbers until around the very beginning of next month.
Here’s what I have today that you should take with a grain of salt:
| Game | – | Status | Pick | Amount |
| Baltimore | – | 7:10 PM ET | Baltimore +120 | 0.75 |
| Boston | – | to risk | ||
| NY Yankees | – | 7:10 PM ET | NY Yankees +104 | 0.75 |
| Tampa Bay | – | to win | ||
| Texas | – | 10:10 PM ET | Texas +141 | 0.75 |
| Seattle | – | to risk |
Texas is our Strongest play here, clearly with a “Medium” Raw number projection, plus the following systems:
In database history, sub .600 early season (<28 games under their belt) underdogs are 1303-1590 (45.0%, +144.63 units) SU
Currently 22-33 -5.73 units, I’m aware, which is why this bet isn’t 1 unit, but it also isn’t a half unit…
That system was marked as our primary system to follow for the first month, and our official email record mimics a microcosm of it (a loss of 2 units), but consider that the average number of games per season with the system is over 200, and we’re only around 50 games deep. So extrapolate this one 4 times, and we’ll see where it lands!
If this system doesn’t come through for the first month and a half, no big deal. It will have certainly been worth the shot. Underdogs nearly on the blind (which is what that system is) is a tried and true way to go in the first month. I have a separate account personally where ALL I do is bet ALL Underdogs in the first month, and in the last 7 years, it is up a solid 22.7% despite some horrible years recently, which I STILL consider deviant.
Anyways, I have a couple of statistically significant trends for the Baltimore wager.
Nothing I’d really base a bet off of…maybe use as a filter, but let’s see where these go: One interesting aspect to consider is the mlb onerun game statistics, which often highlight how close games can swing in unexpected directions. These statistics can reveal key player performances and trends that might not be evident at first glance. Additionally, tracking one-run games can provide insights into broader patterns that may influence future wagers.
MLB Betting Early Season Strategy Trend 1:
Since 2014, the Boston Red Sox are just 23-41 SU -29.55 units at home when the total is set high, over 8 runs.
MLB Betting Early Season Strategy Trend 1:
If this one doesn’t blow your mind, I’m not sure what will. Buck Showalter came in to coach the Baltimore Orioles in 2010, and since then, they’ve ripped it up 420-412 +64.69 units. THE MOST PROFITABLE team to bet on the blind in that time frame….and by a landslide. Has the public caught on, though? Sure, they have. When Showalter first came on in 2010, the average line for the O’s that season was +149.5! Now, since 201,2 they have had an average line of -107.2. In addition to the team’s impressive performance, betting trends for MLB show a marked shift in how bettors perceive the Orioles. This change indicates not only the impact of coaching but also a broader adaptation in betting strategies across the league. As data continues to emerge, understanding these trends will be crucial for making informed wagers. One of the key factors behind this shift can be traced to mlb betting trends since 2004, which reveal how teams like the Orioles have transformed from underdogs to more respected contenders. Bettors have increasingly adjusted their strategies based on these insights, impacting lines and the overall betting market. As a result, savvy wagerers are now more cautious, recognizing the Orioles’ improved performance and reconsidering their approach when placing bets on them.
Seems like we’ve lost value, right? Wrong! While the O’s average line has increased, they’ve only gotten better under Buck Showalter, going 189-151 +34.01 units in that time frame! Also, let’s check out how the O’s team record has gone since 2010:
2010: 40.7%
2011: 42.6%
2012: 57.1%
2013: 52.5%
2014: 58.6%
Current season: 5-4 +55.6%
The Bottom line: Buck Showalter came, and he is still conquering. My bold projection for the O’s is that they’ll be a good betting proposition and not to be bet against too often until Buck wins the World Series for Baltimore.
Extra:
Under Buck Showalter, the O’s are 180-162 +42.26 units +11.1% roi with a total set between 8.5 and 10.
As Road Dogs under Showalter, the O’s are +45.88 +12.9% roi, which of course applies today.
