My MLB totals plays are determined by statistical data (standard and advanced metrics from fangraphs.com), history involving similar games and situations (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 how many of these factors align, how much value is perceived, and how confident I am about the play.
Key Trends/Angles/Thoughts:
Merrill Kelly only gave up one run against the Cubs in Chicago in his last start. But, he only lated 5.2 innings, making it a non-Quality Start. Since 8/16/2022, the UNDER is a perfect 15-0 when Kelly starts and is coming off a non-Quality Start. These 15 games stayed UNDER by an average 2.33 runs per game and saw an average of 6 total runs scored.
Kodai Senga has been very tough at home. His last start was on the road in Minnesota where Senga allowed 2 runs on 4 hits and 4 walks in 6 innings of work. The Mets lost that game. Since May 5th, the UNDER is 11-0 when Senga starts with the total set at less than 10 and he is coming off a start in which he allowed at least 1 walk and his ERA was less than 4.00 for the game. The UNDER is also 8-0 when Senga starts and is coming off a start in which he allowed 7 or fewer hits and the team lost the game.
