Default Okay...let's try something out here for a week...

you are looking to hard at angles and kind of ignoring numbers.how much better is oswalt then willis?how much better is the fla. offense.which fresh bullpen is worth how many cents?it is a better way of doing business then betting a pitcher who pitched a quality start while throwing between 70-95 pitches or whose last name has fewer letters then the other pitcher.we need to find a system for better linemaking not for finding winners,as the latter simply does not work.

one of the things i notice here is that people want to bet on quality pitchers and under on the same subset of starters.also,over and against the worst pitchers in the league.do you really think that is not part of the line.will liriano pitch a shutout everytime?it is not that easy which is why so many of us have either quit,follow others,or lose during this long and trying sport even tho we are given almost no juice to bet into.

i would like next season to develope a formula to make a good number,one which we could tweak a bit as the year progresses.blogguy of course will lead the way.
