what i am trying to do is find a faster way (currently takes me a few hours on a daily basis) to analyze stats and difference from the norm/average stat to calculate my own over/under line in handicapping games. Basically what i am looking to do is take AL/NL stats such as average starter era, average reliever era. average starter/reliever whip, average park rating (typically range from like .5-1.5 with anything below 1 favoring the pitcher and over 1 favoring thr batter), average runs per game scored, average batting average, average OPS, etc..
what i do when handicapping a game total is i find the average of all these stats for every team in baseball (one for the AL and one for the NL).
Then each day i take a game, say for example SEA vs OAK and i take the stats for these two teams for the year and in the last 10 games. i then compare both SEA and OAK numbers and i combine them. I then calculate the difference from the norm or league average. i then have weighted calculations for how much each of these stats difference from the norm should either move the total line up or down from the season average runs scored total per game to create my line. if there is a a big enough difference, i place a wager of 1-3 units depending on how big that difference is.
My problem is this takes forever!! the system works great, i use it for NFL also but i no longer have the time on a daily basis to do these calculations. Does anybody have a program or know a good way to analyze/calculate statistics faster then 1 at a time? if anyone can help me with this problem it would be greatly appreciated!
