Don't take what I said as criticism as you're doing much better than I ever could.
One thought about it however...it seems that you mostly take the under. Could the warmer weather have an effect on scoring that has not yet been accounted for in the lines as many of the Latin players tend to struggle at the start of the season due to colder temperatures?
Not taken as critcism whatsoever... I've been right here this last week taking the hits too. The last week has been horrid, but in the end if you told me after 2 months I'd be up 20+ units with this system, I'd be thrilled. I think hitting 70 so quickly spoiled me.
As for the cause -- I've kept track of this stuff for the last 4-5 years, and usually right around the all-star break the team totals start going OVER quite a bit more. I think I always attributed it to the hitters getting into more of a groove and the pitchers wearing down (especially the back of the rotation guys), which seemed logical.
My guess is this year its a combination of that happening a bit sooner, just a run of bad luck (if you look over the last week, there have been countless 2 and 3 unit plays that have gone from winners to losers in the last inning on ultimately pointless runs a lot more than usual), and that with the limited # of outs and low limits for this type of bet, I'm getting shaded.
With the only outs that I'm using being Pinnacle, CRIS and TheGreek, I imagine after hitting close to +70 units so quickly, as well as posting them on a few other forums, got them shading most of their team totals towards the OVER... So where early in the season I might be getting Rockies UNDER 4.5 -110, I'm now getting them UNDER 4 -130.
