MIT Moneyball Winners

[LordVader+]

[FONT=Titillium Web, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]The first two words in the name of this thread are true. I have multiple graduate degrees from MIT and lead an Analytics powerhouse in my day job. The objective here is to make the third word in this thread's name to come true by posting winners. I do not plan to post daily but will add my picks in this thread so that we can enjoy the games together and I can impose additional self-discipline by making my picks publicly available.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I know sportsbook's use comprehensive analytics to set an analytical line. The objective in this thread is to beat that analytical line with the combination of an analytical model and a great "feel" of the game.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Best of luck to everyone in this game of inches![/FONT][FONT=&quot]
First pick: Cubs Pirates Under 6.5 runs +173. In the interest of humility, please note that this is a tough wager to win after selling a run to get +173 odds. [/FONT]

SF Giants RL +145

Winner winner, chicken dinner! azzkick(&^We went 1-1 on Day 1 and still made a 22.5% profit on the risk amount. The SF Giants comfortably won 6-2 in spite of hitting only 1-13 today with runners in scoring position (RISP).

Please note that early or midway through the second set I will place a hedge bet for the first-set winner to win the match. That will give me the ability to cash both the Over bet and the Moneyline bet. I usually use a lot of live hedging strategies when my initial wager is winning.
