Hi Bettorschat Family,
As a statistics geek by occupation and a sports fan in my spare time, I recently developed a formula for predicting MLB games against the spread. Considering that one season of baseball contains such a large sample size relative to other sports, it has always been my goal to find enough spare time to write a macro based on regression analysis that might find success as a predictive tool. As the sample size increases for an entire season, the standard deviation decreases and one can say more confidently that a predictive formula is or is not a success. I've had success in primary trials of this script, but I will save everyone the trouble and just post my plays here in hopes of continuing that success. My hope is that this formula may eventually serve as a tool to assist cappers and since I only have limited opportunities to visit Las Vegas, I wanted to share with a group that may be able to appreciate the results. Watch as the whole thing craps out as soon as I post the plays.
Every selection is 1 unit. Listed pitchers must start. Odds are courtesy of pinnaclesports.com.
Chicago Cubs/Washington Nationals Over 8 (-106)
Tampa Bay Devil Rays +224

Houston Astros +116
Houston Astros/New York Mets Over 9 (+106)
