Late Scorers System
This method will have a lot more plays than most of the systems we've looked at so far this baseball season. Last season it had more than 460 plays alone, so it's one of the better ones for those who like lots of action.As with most of the other systems, we're going to focus on a team off of a win and there is just one requirement. That is we want the team we are betting on to have scored more runs against the bullpen than they did against the starter. That's it.
Simply stated, "Bet on any team off a win that scored more runs against the bullpen than it did against the opponent's starting pitcher."
The system will yield both favorites and underdogs, with the average price since 2010 standing at -108, so we're not playing solely big favorites, which is a good thing.
Since the start of the 2010 season, the system is 361-285 for a profit of 67.75 units, although most of the profit came in the 2010 season in which the system was 266-197. So far in 2011, it stands at 95-88 for a small profit of 4.10 units, so it will be interesting to watch over the next month to see if it begins to pick up steam or was pretty much a one-year wonder.
From the standpoint of "Does it make sense?" which should be asked when presented with any system the awnser would be yes, although it seems to make a bit more sense in games involving the same two teams, while the system results are bases on the next game regardless of who the opponent is.
But it is hard to argue with the 2010 results, so it definitely bears watching for the remainder of the 2011 season.
