Now is the time when you can make big money using my unique run line chart. Each day we track how every team does, home and away, by their win margin. Every August the line maker begins to inflate the money lines for the contenders vs. the pretenders. As a result knowing which teams perform well and which teams perform poorly in specific situations can lead us to great run line profits.  The following charts will outline which teams perform the best in each roll:

The following teams are solid propositions when laying the runs at home. If they win the game at home they do so by 2+ runs 75% or more of the time. 

1.     Colorado: 21 out of 26 home wins by 2+ runs

2.     New York Yankees: 28 out of 37 home wins by 2+ runs

3.     Boston Red Sox: 26 out of 33 home wins by 2+runs

4.     Texas: 26 out of 35 home wins by 2+ runs

5.     Oakland: 24 out of 31 home wins by 2+ runs

6.     Detroit: 23 out of 31 home wins by 2+ runs

For perspective please recall that all home teams who win the game at home do so 64% of the time. All results are through July 31, 2011. 

Our next group of teams are teams who get blown out when they lose the game at home. This list of teams loses by 2+ runs 80% of the time when they lose at home. For perspective please recall that all home teams who lose at home lose by 2+ runs 76% of the time.

1.     Chicago Cubs: 25 out of 31 home loses by 2+ runs

2.     Cincinnati: 22 out of 27 home loses by 2+ runs

3.     Pittsburgh Pirates: 22 out of 25 home loses by 2+ runs

8.     Detroit: 20 out of 24 home loses by 2+ runs

You should consider laying the run line against these teams at home when they are facing a superior road team. All results are through July 31, 2011.

Our third list of teams are those road teams who, when they win on the road, do so by 2+ runs. As you will recall when a road team wins on the road they do so by 2+ runs 76% of the time. These are teams with whom you should consider laying the runs on the road if you think they are going to win the game. The following teams have reported 80% or more of their road victories by 2+ runs

1.     Philadelphia: 22 out o 27 road wins by 2+ run

2.     St Louis: 24 out of 28 Road wins by 2+ runs
