Over the past few years I have made some good money playing this prop bet on the first inning. I always play "no score" and usually have 4 factors that determine my play.
1.) Pitching Match Up - Most Important ( Love playing this with Lincy, King Felix, etc.)
2.) Offensive out put between both teams ( Never play on Tex, NY, Bos, Stl, Phil, etc.)

Glossary
Park Factor compares the rate of stats at home vs. the rate of stats on the road. A rate higher than 1.000 favors the hitter. Below 1.000 favors the pitcher. Teams with home games in multiple stadiums list aggregate Park Factors.
Now this final item is either something you believe or don't. Personally I have no explanation for it but I believe there are definite streaks when it comes to teams batting and scoring early in games. In the long run of the season it is probably pretty even on whether there is a score or no score ( though personally for me I have seen way more no scores then scores) if someone had that information I would love to see it. The trick is when to spot a low week and utilize this lull in batting to your advantage.
For example this past week there was a score in the first inning in the vast majority of games.
Monday
7 - 4 Score in 1st Inning
Tuesday
10 - 6 Score in 1st Inning
Weds
10 - 5 Score in 1st Inning
Thursday
6 - 1 Score in 1st Inning
I believe stats in base ball always return to the norm eventually. Once again I cannot prove this off hand but I have a very good feeling over the next 4 days or so there will be a lot less scoring in the first inning.
If you apply these 4 rules and don't bet with scared money ( Juice is -130 or higher means automatic no play) you can turn a pretty penny on this strategy. I always look where the line is -140 or higher on this category because usually the first 3 rules apply automatically. Also I never play the score no score if the total for the game is over 8.
Good luck with your plays and I am not promising anything but I really do believe these next few days are a very good time to play these bets because Vegas Books will give you better lines on this based on this crazy last week's performance.
Would love to hear some comments on this.
No play on the early game as it does not fit the 4 rules but still would not be surprised at all if there was no score in the 1st. I am looking at Clev @ San Diego but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
1.) Pitching Match Up - Most Important ( Love playing this with Lincy, King Felix, etc.)
2.) Offensive out put between both teams ( Never play on Tex, NY, Bos, Stl, Phil, etc.)

Glossary
Park Factor compares the rate of stats at home vs. the rate of stats on the road. A rate higher than 1.000 favors the hitter. Below 1.000 favors the pitcher. Teams with home games in multiple stadiums list aggregate Park Factors.
- PF: ((homeRS + homeRA)/(homeG)) / ((roadRS + roadRA)/(roadG))
- homeRS: Runs scored at home
- homeRA: Runs allowed at home
- homeG: Home games
- roadRS: Runs scored on the road
- roadRA: Runs allowed on the road
- roadG: Road games
Now this final item is either something you believe or don't. Personally I have no explanation for it but I believe there are definite streaks when it comes to teams batting and scoring early in games. In the long run of the season it is probably pretty even on whether there is a score or no score ( though personally for me I have seen way more no scores then scores) if someone had that information I would love to see it. The trick is when to spot a low week and utilize this lull in batting to your advantage.
For example this past week there was a score in the first inning in the vast majority of games.
Monday
7 - 4 Score in 1st Inning
Tuesday
10 - 6 Score in 1st Inning
Weds
10 - 5 Score in 1st Inning
Thursday
6 - 1 Score in 1st Inning
I believe stats in base ball always return to the norm eventually. Once again I cannot prove this off hand but I have a very good feeling over the next 4 days or so there will be a lot less scoring in the first inning.
If you apply these 4 rules and don't bet with scared money ( Juice is -130 or higher means automatic no play) you can turn a pretty penny on this strategy. I always look where the line is -140 or higher on this category because usually the first 3 rules apply automatically. Also I never play the score no score if the total for the game is over 8.
Good luck with your plays and I am not promising anything but I really do believe these next few days are a very good time to play these bets because Vegas Books will give you better lines on this based on this crazy last week's performance.
Would love to hear some comments on this.
No play on the early game as it does not fit the 4 rules but still would not be surprised at all if there was no score in the 1st. I am looking at Clev @ San Diego but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
