** 4/12 UPDATE **

The four teams that were on the list last week from 4/5-4/12 went a combined 8-15 this past week.
If you base bet $100 against the each of the 4 teams in each game they played you would have made $640 this past week. Not a bad lump of change. I'll keep track of the combined W-L records of the teams as well as the change in units won/lost week by week.

4/06 - 4/12 => (8-15) -6.40 Units
4/13 - 4/19 =>


Technically, both the Pirates and the Tigers bullpens have squeaked into the upper half of the league in terms of either OBP% or SLG% and cleared their name for at least a week. They are both right on the border, so they still should not be trusted. Four of teams that did bad last year and are possible teams to put on the list are also in the top 5 teams in terms of OPS% this year, (Tampa, Cincy, Baltimore, Philly) all are off to hot starts. If they all have turned a bottom feeder bullpen into a quality one, well then maybe it's good I'm not filtering them out. However, if they start slipping like I think they will, they'll make for good value betting against due to their hot starts. I use this to spot out teams who have not fixed their problems, and it works beautifully. As for the list for this week 4/13 - 4/19 there are only two teams officially on the DO NOT BET LIST. The records listed below are their season records.

DO NOT BET LIST
(Active 4/13 - 4/19)

1) HOUSTON ASTROS (4-8) -3.85 Units
2) SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS (4-8) -3.28 Units


Border teams on the list last week.... I would still consider them highly dangerous.

1) PITTSBURGH PIRATES (5-6) -0.32 Units
2) DETROIT TIGERS (2-9) -11.29 Units


That's the update for this week boys. Back next Saturday night to update the list.
