Is this a good read ?

This is what Howard Schwartz (from Gambler's Book Store in Las Vegas) has to say about the book in his column at: http://www.casinogaming.com/columnis...2005/0119.html

Michael Murray's Betting Baseball--A New Approach (104 pages, plastic spiralbound, $39.95) is the newest book on baseball betting, first published in 1994. It discusses the money line, the run line, betting Totals, measuring offense, measuring consistency in starters, evaluating injuries, the impact of ballpark differences, creating the line. A good portion of Murray's book looks at the role umpires may play in the final score (strike zones seem to vary within leagues and among home plate umps).

However, note that this book is listed third on the list of recommended basic baseball betting books, so I would consider this a luke warm review. (He likes Mike Lee's classic from 25 years ago better).
