My MLB totals plays are determined by a combination of statistical data (standard and advanced metrics from fangraphs.com), history involving similar games (researched through the SDQL database), and current market data. A play is made when enough of these factors align. The play's size is determined by a combination of how many of these factors align, how much value is perceived, and how confident I am about the play.
Some key trends/angles:
-> WASHINGTON is 13-4 UNDER after a loss by 6 runs or more over the last 2 seasons.
-> WASHINGTON is 11-3 UNDER after a loss this season.
-> SAN FRANCISCO is 20-8 UNDER as a home favorite of -150 to -200 over the last 2 seasons.
-> MARTINEZ is 18-5 UNDER revenging a road blowout loss of 6 runs or more as the manager of WASHINGTON.
-> KAPLER is 22-9 UNDER as a home favorite of -150 to -200 as the manager of SAN FRANCISCO.
-> BEN MAY is a very pitcher-friendly home plate umpire.
