8-10's 2014 Baseball Log

    Ok guys here is another baseball log, hopefully more successful than last years one and I'll try my best to be more regular with logging throughout the season to the end.

    Quick recap of last year. I posted my win totals for every team here on Boards at the beginning of 2013. Based on the win-line market from Paddy Power at the start of 2013, 23 out of 30 times I was correct on the OVER/UNDER. So I'm doing the same for this year, except this year I'm actually placing bets! Last year was just testing out my projections.

    I'm going to post season long bets (including win lines on all 30 MLB teams) in post 2, I have 750pts in play. And the plan is to have a bank of 750pts for daily betting throughout the season (I'll post these from post 3 if you want to skip the season-long stuff)

    And if you're interested in a broader range of baseball picks check out Anchorman's log here (was very successful last season with baseball picks) and JONJO's new baseball log here (he has a new system rolling out for 2014)

    Here's last year anyway, my wins from this post in column 2, Paddy's line in column 3 and the actual result in 2013 in column 5:

    Ok so here's a list of the 2014 season long bets. Some of these were from as far back as March 10th, others in the past week, however even if the odds have changed slightly since then, I maintain that I would still be making the same picks with the same stakes. I'm not concerned about odds as much as I am about correct picks.

    Completely boring 1st bet of the season:

    Under 0.5 Runs in 2nd inning
    Dodgers v Padres - 5pts @ 8/15 (PP)

    Today's '2' bets:

    Under 0.5 Runs in 2nd Inning
    Mariners v Angels @ 8/15

    Bet 2 - 5pt Trixie

    1st Half Match Betting
    Cubs v Pirates @ 31/20
    Phillies v Rangers @20/23

    Under 0.5 Runs in 2nd Inning
    Indians v Athletics @ 8/15

    40pts staked

    As with last year, odds for the 1st half match betting market usually isn't quoted on PaddyPower until about 3.30 I think (will edit this post). I will still try where possible to get picks up before that time. For those not familiar, 1st half betting means betting on the result of first 5 innings only. If it's a tie after 5 each, then it's a push. I like this bet as it allows you to back the starting pitcher and not be undone by poor relief (see: Hyun-Jin Ryu last night for the Dodgers, excellent start from him and LA winning 1-0 after 5 innings, however poor relief conceding 3 runs late on and they lost the game - bet would have still won if you back Dodgers 1st half)

    FYI Zimmermann has been scratched from his start so I've had to re-bet and odds for Mets are now 21/20 instead of evens

    Royals game got called off and Mets blew their lead in the 5th inning which is very annoying when you're betting on first 5 innings. Rays won so my overall record is still hovering around 50%, 8-7-3 (not counting Royals as it was a void not a push)

    But again since I'm betting multiples and not singles I'm not getting much of a return. Today's Trixie:

    1st Half Match Betting
    Athletics v Mariners @ 4/6
    Diamondbacks v Rockies @ 59/50

    Under 0.5 Runs in 2nd Inning
    Cardinals v Pirates @ 8/15

    Excited about the Diamondbacks pick as I've spent a lot of time this morning analyzing the matchup. Could be a very good pick, or a very very bad one!

    Yep, that backfired BADLY. I figured it would only go one way or the other.

    Ok drawing board time before this small slide gets bigger.

    Bet365 offer a 'lead after x innings' market, and seeing as the odds are better and I have so many times been burnt in the 5th inning, I'm going to experiment with the lead after 4 innings market.

    Secondly, I've noticed that nearly every day I have a push result (tie after 5 innings). So I was thinking how can I work with this? So I'm experimenting with the Double Result market (think HT/FT market like in soccer). This allows me to back a tie after 5 and each team to win. I need a tie after 5 innings to guarantee return.

    Let's give it a go:

    Bet 1 - 5pt Trixie

    Lead After 4 Innings
    Yankees @ 29/20
    Cardinals @ 33/20
    Red Sox @ 5/7

    Bet 2 - 5pt Trixie

    Lead After 4 Innings
    Giants @ 6/5
    Reds @ 27/20
    Rays @ 20/23

    Bet 3 - 2.5pt Singles

    Double Result
    Tie - Miami @ 5/1
    Tie - Padres @ 17/2
    Tie - Washington @ 11/2
    Tie - Atlanta @ 17/2

    The lead after 4 innings was no good, and tie's not counting as a push really hurts the multiple betting.

    I'm just back from the States where I couldn't bet so it's been a week since the last one.

    On a terrible run (will update log tomorrow), but here's today's picks:

    Bet 1 - 5pt Trixie

    1st Half Match Betting
    Rays v Orioles @ 10/11
    Braves v Phillies @ 27/20
    Nationals v Marlins @ 20/37

    Bet 2 - 5pt Trixie

    1st Half Match Betting
    Pirates v Reds @ 20/23 (2nd game not the continuation of yesterday's)
    Cardinals v Brewers @ 11/10
    Royals v Astros @20/31

    4 more bets for the long-term log as I've been keeping an eye on the Home Run market which is very volatile.

    Both the below have the potential to hit more HR's than everybody else and I definitely think there's value in the prices:

    Giancarlo Stanton @ 20/1
    Mike Trout @ 33/1

    And in NL Cy Young Betting I like the following picks, again both have the potential:

    Jose Fernandez @ 6/1
    Stephen Strasburg @ 20/1

    Prices are with Paddy Power and max bet is €10 unfortunately (I wanted to put 50 on Trout, when you get 33/1 on him leading the majors in a batting category, you take it!)

    For the purpose of the log I'm saying 10pts on each, 40 in play

     Cardinals v Brewers @ 11/10 WIN
    Royals     v Astros @20/31WIN

    Finally get all 3 in a bet to come in! And got 5pts back from the other bet with the 2 games rained off. The less we say about the Nationals the better.

    Absolutely snowed under at work today so doubt I'll have time to research picks tonight.

    I really couldn't believe the odds on Reds and Orioles yesterday, thought I was getting a great deal. Both were behind by a single run after 5 innings then came back to win the game. If I'd bet to win they'd all have come in.

    Changing it up today:

    Nice little run man, well in. I know you've said no bets today but can you look at something for me. I think the A's, White Sox and Cubs are overpriced what do you make of those games?

    Very sorry man only seeing those picks now. What was the A's price? I was intrigued by the matchup and you're right it's probably the longest you'd see Sonny Gray this year facing Darvish and looks like he dominated.

    White Sox too a great pick. Odorizzi is quickly looking like one of those pitchers you always bet against. Had heard good things about him in sprin but I've never actually watched him pitch yet. Numbers wise he's one to avoid.

    We're spoiled tonight with a rake of great matchups. Braves v Miami will be a cracker and unders looks good. At least 4 other interesting ones. Got an hour after lunch to review and will get picks up after

    The A's were 5/4 and the White Sox were 11/10. The just stood out to me!
    U7.5 in the A's game was 11/10 .. buying money with Gray and Darvish on the mounds.

    U7.5 is huge! They only have the line at 6.0 for the Braves v Miami game today which gets me a bit worried but will likely still take it. Wood v Fernandez.

    6 is just about on the borderline, its probably too low but with those two on the mound its very very hard to back the over. Especially Fernandez at home.

    Yes agreed, can't back the overs. In terms of home though I'm always wary of Marlin's park. Yes it's atrocious for Home Runs, but if you follow Park Factors you'll see it's actually always around top ten ballparks for runs scored. Still, will be an under bet.

    Another under pick I'll have today is Cubs v Reds but I still haven't seen the line or odds yet on B365 or PP, expecting it shortly as PP update their baseball markets generally between 3 and 4, usually by 3.30.

    Will probably round it off with orioles -1.5 but Dodgers, Astros, Rangers and Brewers games all look interesting. Might possibly have 6 picks today. Update soon.

    Brewers v Cardinals - UNDER 0.5 runs in 2nd inning @ 8/15 WIN

    I knew I shouldn't have included the Braves bet! Miami -1.5 when Fernandez pitches will be my new bet. He's been great.

    His record is 4-1 this season and his 4 wins so far:

    10-1
    5-0
    1-0
    9-0

    So when he wins, he's not giving up many! Only once out of 4 wins has he failed to clear the 1.5, and the other 3 times it was cleared easily.

    On the others I really liked the Baltimore bet but early on in the day I was following the Manny Machado comeback news and it was clear that the rain would probably mean it'd be called off. Dodgers v Twins also postponed early in the day.

    But 3-1 with the other picks making me completely average on picks: 31-31 for the season so far (+ 12 void or push)!

    Unfortunately the way the multiples fall it means I'm still behind on points but it's getting better this past week. ROI is now -9.18%

    No bets again today, nothing sticking out. Had a number of ones lined up yesterday but didn't have time to place them.

    But evaluated my April record. 10 wins 17 losses from April 1st-15th, 21 wins 14 losses from April 15th-30th

    So really a month of 2 halves!

    I'd be wary of backing the Mets I am hearing rumours of the Marlins robbing signals. Its supposedly why they are raking at home. Unofficial of course so do with what you will but I'll be on the Marlins at home until I hear otherwise :-)

    Would make sense they've been ridiculous at home and Tom Koehler is 3-0 with a 0.90 ERA

    Reason I'm on the Mets is perceived value in the evens price. Zack Wheeler is very talented and will be itching to bounce back after his last outing.

    But what got me in this matchup is Koehler's LOB% (aka strand rate), which is up over 80%

    For those who don't know, the Left-On-Base-Percentage is a calculation of the % of baserunners that a pitcher leaves stranded on base. Some pitchers are excellent and getting out of jams and leaving players on base but others are just lucky to get out of innings without conceding. Koehler has been lucky and it's a matter of time before his LOB% starts to regress back. He's in the top 10 in the majors in this statistic.

    Evens on Mets with Wheeler on the mound against Koehler looked too good for me!

    You've put doubt in my mind however! Unfortunately I've already placed the bet. :P

    I get that Wheeler will be looking to bounce back and thats solid analysis on Koehler but if Stanton, Yelich know what your throwing it doesnt matter if your Kershaw/Strasbourg/Verlander or Wheeler your going to get hit!

    :-) Just a word of caution on them thats all. You've now put doubt in my mind on Koehler! Ha .. one of us will win anyway!

    Well Wheeler v Koehler turned out to be quite the duel! Only 3 hits given up between them so it came down to bullpen v bullpen to decide it and Marlins won.

    I had last minute changed from Red Sox -1.5 to just Red Sox win so that came in for a small return overall, got 50% of my stake back last night.

    Going again:

    5pt Yankee
    Rays -1.5 @ 23/20
    Padres @ 20/31
    Phillies v Blue Jays OVER 8.5 runs @ 10/13
    Royals @ 23/20

    2pt Yankee today:

    LA Dodgers -1.5 @ 27/20
    Cubs @ evens
    Orioles @ 20/23
    Detroit v White Sox UNDER 0.5 runs in 2nd inning @ 8/15

    Would really have loved to have kept this up over past 6 weeks but I just haven't had the time. Travelling a lot and taken 14 flights in that timeframe and have been just so overrun with work that this really hasn't gotten the attention I wanted to give it
