Little help from Boomer ... we hope ...LOL
Non- Playoff Angle here ...but cool
The most vulnerable HOME FAVORITES in the MLB playoffs dating back to ’00 have been those in the -120 to -144 money line range, as they are just 87-101 SU (-45.1 units, ROI: -24%)
Playoff Angles
Series wins status - For teams leading in a series, HOME FIELD advantage has meant quite a lot, as these hosts are 58-35 SU (19.85 units, ROI: 21.3%) and 50-43 on run lines (14.7 units, ROI: 15.8%) since 2013.
2022 was the first season in which the wild card round expanded to a 3-game series - Wild Card hosts priced at -135 or higher are on a 17-10 SU (1.05 units, ROI: 3.9%) and 15-12 (6.55 units, ROI: 24.3%) surge since 2013.
Wild Card hosts priced at less than -135 favorites or as underdogs have struggled to the tune of a 5-11 SU (-6.25 units, ROI: -39.1%) & 4-12 on run lines (-11.5 units, ROI: -71.9%) record since 2013.
Umpires
Marlins vs. Phillies Game 1 Total: 7.5 (over -114 / under -106) This series, on paper, is an under bettor's dream. All three of Stu Scheurwater(Game 1), Doug Eddings and James Hoye were profitable to under bettors in 2023. The best of the bunch was Eddings, who has earned bettors $2,119 on $100 wagers to the under in more than 500 career games. Scheurwater and Hoye are two of the lesser-experienced umpires behind home plate in the Wild Card Round, but the trends, regardless, favor the unders across the board.
WOW ...this hurts Milw ............Milwaukee - P Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is out for the wildcard round.
