In a quest to find other angles for systems - I had a thought on chasing 1st inning scores (by either team)
So I created a preliminary spreadsheet to test things out and to solicit feedback - if it does well for a week or so - I'll see if I can backtest and as always hopefully we can think of things to make it better.
You can download the automated spreadsheet from here:
I basically pull the 1st inning score % for each team for 2013, last 3 and Home/Away from teamrankings.com
I then look for a total of 64% or greater for all 3 categories to initiate a 3 game chase (no 2 game series)
This will be a test for a week or so - and if it works out - I may be looking for volunteers to run the thread while I work on improvements - lol - you guys know my track record for threads.

So just to get the conversation started. Right now I am just looking at 2013, Last 3, and Hm/Away 1st inning score % for each team and if over 64% total for all 3 I initiate a chase.
Other thoughts
1) Get 1st inning score % for series - meaning if a team scores in the 1st inning - 2 out of 3 games in a 3 games series - it counts as a 1st inning score and we would look to play if that % is over 55%? We would use this as a filter - we would not want to bet on teams that don't score in 1st inning for most of the series they play
2) Get the pitcher rotation of the series and look at the pitcher 1st inning score %'s - not sure what threashold to use for a filter - but we would use this to make sure that the pitchers in all games have a propensity to allow runs in the 1st inning
3) Get % to score in 1st inning in A+B games - we would also use this as a filter - we would want to filter teams that go to C games.
Just some thoughts - but no point in implementing yet - until we get a feel for the win rate.

I looked up Smitler's thread and to be honest I have no idea how his system won or the theory behind it. He basically took the highest 1st inning DOGS on the board for the day and chased it for a win. I have no idea how that worked - seems like blind luck. He didn't look at any stats that would indicate a teams propensity to either score or not score in the first inning.

Great idea Degen. I started to track this earlier this week a little after seeing Tinfoil's MLB Updates reference the projected starters' stats in reference to whether they have been scored on in the first inning. A couple things have jumped out. First, since the beginning of June, about 50% of teams playing that day score in the first inning... odd right? Second, this is all based on the starting pitcher and the opponents' top of the lineup. I am thinking two pitchers must have a high combined total games, less than 30% scored on in the first inning, and the opponents must be scoring less than 30% of the time for it to be a play...
Just a few thoughts.

Shave - not sure what you mean by this. I am having trouble figuring out what you mean by high combined games and less than 30% scored on 1st inning - seems like it's contradicting - unless I am misunderstanding
