NYM -105 (I did actually bet the Mets this time :handshake:)
CLE +106

So I did make a change to this approach. I just realized that FanGraphs has a separate WAR table that extrapolates pitcher performance to 200 innings pitched. It's not perfect for the sake of this first-5 experiment, but it's (probably) a better performance predictor for relief pitchers that get used as starters.

4 out of the 6 games, I love this model
 
Lines are all over the place at bookies. Looks like this might become my bread and butter.

I'm slightly uncomfortable with the amount of correlation between full game and first 5 bets. I basically have six 2-unit bets today.

This is going poorly.
