I vaguely remember D.Bernstein discussing a story he read about two people who took the opposing moneyline for every Pirates game last season and came out +2gs (Maybe more than that) over the course of 162 games. Taking this into consideration, which 2011 teams are potential investments based solely on their inability to play baseball? Nationals? -Young pitchers. Strasburg down. Organizational B.Harper hate drowns any chance of success? Royals? -No Greinke. 5 pitchers 24 or younger. Least talented team in Division. Astros? -Looks to be a non competitive season for Houston. Just a bad roster. Almost $4Million worth of players already on DL. Oakland? -Least talented team in AL West. Not much power. Rich Harden and Andrew Bailey already on DL. Cubs? -I am a Cubs fan, but this team has no hitting power. Idk if there are any hard core gamblers on the board. I've heard MLB is the hardest to bet. With a 162 game season I think this may be the safest route. It's just a matter of knowing which teams are going to stay bad, and/or get worse. |

Upon further review... The Mets are sort of banged up right now, relying on an average pitching staff. Beltran can only play 5 of 7 games at a time now? The probable underachieving of NYM could give more wins to Washington, so does that hurt the investment value of the Nationals? I'm looking real hard at Houston. The roster is seriously below average. That home ball park is a drawback however. If the Astros end up around .500 at home winning nothing but high scoring games it would ruin the whole investment as well. A few of these teams are gonna be real bad. Who is the most fade worthy? Houston Oakland Cleveland Kansas City Washington Mets Toronto Arizona |

Philly is -260 vs. Houston on Bodog right now. Best odds on the board. Cliff Lee Vs. Wandy Rodriguez seems like a non hesitation move. Also looking at Braves -160 vs. Washington. Weather is supposed to be cold and rainy though. Tommy Hanson vs. John 'Sling Blade' Lannon. |

Maybe play the law of averages... Anyway, VCU is +135 for the national championship. Good value for a team stomping folks. |

What's the consensus on betting baseball? I've read on other boards to follow the umpire stats, just like the NBA. |

Fade Update (4-8-10): (All one unit, hypothetical reference bets until further notice) Houston Astros 1-5 +3.72units Tampa Bay Rays 0-6 +7.68 Boston Red Sox 0-6 +7.90 Arizona Diamondbacks 2-3 +2.46 Washington Nationals 2-4 +0.54 Oakland Athletics 2-4 +1.94 I'm fairly confident I'll have to take Boston off of here soon. With all the pitching in the AL West, the standings could be a complete non profitable mess, so the Athletics could be removed from the list as well. |
