2014 MLB TARP Analysis  (Team Adjusted Run Production)


Yesterday:  2-3 +0.01

I was just mentioning regression to the mean yesterday regarding underdogs being 2-11 and favorites being 12-4 and wouldn't ya know dogs go 2-0 last night and favorites go 0-3. All in all, made a penny as two nice dog wins lower the average money line to -104.

Nothing today. In fact, might have to cut baseball short this season as I have more incentive to do well in the upcoming NFL season and need the extra time to do some work in that sport. Plus, going to be in Vegas all week next week. Usually I go all the way to the end with baseball. This TARP baseball system is showing a profit of 23.73 units for the year in 436 games and a 6.1% ROI. I didn't get here to post until recently due to time restraints and only able to show 34 games for -2.57 units. I also do live baseball and soccer wagering during the days so I desperately need to free up some time. Best of luck.

2014 MLB TARP Analysis  (Team Adjusted Run Production)


Friday:  1-1 -0.22

Detroit lost 20-6 Friday night to the Minnesota Twins which helped bring my runs allowed from 3.44 to 4.11 along with the 5 that Miami allowed. It will take a little time to balance out that huge, disproportionate spike to the average but still a +0.48 average margin of victory overall.

2014 MLB TARP Analysis  (Team Adjusted Run Production)


Yesterday:  0-0 +0.00

Defense wins championships and I geared this system to predict the defensive side of the ball more. So far, the results have played this out, albeit after only a small sample size posted here. My average runs allowed per game so far is 3.44, which is 0.66 rpg less than the major league average of 4.10. As long as my offenses can produce close to average I should be alright. My rpg is above average at 4.20 but my OPS is lacking a bit at just .650, although higher than the .625 for my opponents. Just negative variance so far being slightly in the red with a +0.76 average margin of victory.
