Run line 1.5, teams % winning by 2

[Reno Gambler]

I have a question for the stat junkies in this forum. I was talking to my bookie at Leroys(ticket taker) and he was wondering what the % was of -1.5 run line favorites actually win by 2 runs or more.
Thanks

Frank may be able to help you on that as he has a lot of stats. I don't know what the % is, but most teams are in the negative money wise -1.5 runs.

I had the same question in April. About how often a game is decided by one run. Here was the response

Since 2004

in 12,311 games 3,427 have been decided by 1 run

The home team has won 6696 games. 2098 were by 1 run.

Away team has won 5615 games. 1329 were by 1 run.

So the following is this:
Since 2004
8,884 team has won by 2 runs or more (72%)
4,598 HT has won by 2 runs or more (69%)
4,286 AT has won by 2 runs or more (76%)

Thanks
