Baseball Handicapping

Written by Jimmy Boyd

When it comes to baseball handicapping it’s important to know which stats are important and which ones aren’t. Major League Baseball seems to monitor and track more aspects of the game than any other league or any other sport. It seems like you can get fly ball ratios, fielding percentages, blown saves, OPS, and on and on until your head explodes. When we go about making our baseball picks, we make sure that we don’t get bogged down in too many stats, but pay attention to the ones that are most important in determining winners and losers.

While we love some of the major stats like stolen bases, the fact that Team A’s leadoff guy steals 60 bases per year does not have a real impact on if we think that team is going to win the game. Sure it’s an important statistic for fantasy baseball purposes and announcers love talking about how speed kills and how aggressive base running puts pressure on defenses. I mean don’t get us wrong, stolen bases can have an impact on your MLB betting but it’s a minor statistic and you should spend your time focusing on more important stats. Remember it’s not going to be easy, but one lazy man’s strategy can be found in our baseball handicapping guide.

When we go about handicapping baseball games, we try to figure out if a stat is significant enough to have an effect on who wins and loses the game and how accurate it predicts the outcome of a game. Sounds simple enough right? If the stat doesn’t fit into those two categories then you shouldn’t worry about it too much in your MLB handicapping process. Now, we don’t want to give away all of our secrets and tell you which stats we focus on, that’s the benefit for signing up for our premium picks and get our top rated predictions that we feel like are worth betting against the baseball odds on.
