NLDS Wager Suggestions



Following is the chart suggesting wagers on the NLDS. You will note the wagers suggested are on the underdogs as was one of yesterdays. Cleveland was the only favorite suggested for a wager. It reminds me of a session I attended at a SABR convention (Society for American Baseball Research) in St Louis many years ago. The presenter had analyzed World Series and Playoff results over the years. He developed a methodology for identifying the better team based on their season’s records. He found the results were independent of which team was identified as the better. His conclusion was that the series are too short to allow the better team to surface. We’ll see.
