MLB Betting: Finding the value with negative trends

Accuscore explain how to find MLB betting value, even when the overall trends aren't too positive.

Two teams that don't have overly positive trends with AccuScore side values have been the Royals and Orioles.

Kansas City road games have produced -121 units for the year, not a terrible number but not on the plus side of the ledger.

Baltimore home games have been decent generating +378 units of profit, not bad but not as good as some other teams in Major League Baseball.

AccuScore can still, however, find value with these situations. The Daily Line report shows that over the past 2 weeks, both the Royals and Orioles have identical +148 unit returns on side value picks meaning simulations can create profits in the short term and long term depending on when trends are positive.

The reports also contain information on returns for starting pitchers adding another layer of cross-referencing tools. For example, AccuScore has been +676 on all games involving Dan Haren.

Even when teams haven't trended well overall, time periods and starting pitchers can yield success. Check back at AccuScore for full detailed simulations and the Daily Line report.
