Matty Rain's 2024 MLB Betting Thread

I need way more plays. Ideally I would have 25+ plays a day.
 
yes way too small percentage of your bankroll is at play, more plays less sweat
 
Need to look into adding totals.
 
and the 1st 5 lines
Good point. That would seem like the easiest one to implement actually, take bullpens mostly out of the equation. But I think they would be duplicates of the full game plays in the vast majority of cases.
 
So this is our trajectory so far. I had a few more winning plays that weren't posted on here, therein lies the discrepancy (sue me.)

I think I updated my WAR data at the bottom of the valley there. (Edit - yeah, April 14 is when I switched from pre-season projections to in-season updates.)

It's still way too early to draw any conclusions. But we do like the texture of the last coupla weeks, lol.

The Marlins are essentially an auto fade when they're the favorite
 
Love the in-season WAR updates. Obviously with variance early season slump could have been exaggerated and current success could be exaggerated, but logically speaking, using current WAR should be a much better indicator than previous season (which of course is all we can go on early on before data is collected).
 
I updated again this morning. Every update is pretty significant, and yes the average delta with pre-season data is pretty wide. I should probably do like a lot of MLB guys do and skip the first 2 weeks next year.

Then again yeah, it could still all be random walk. There is always a strong urge to see patterns where there might not be any.
