This Is Not a Normal MLB Slate This Is Where Odds Get Broken

April baseball is where public perception is wrong and data has the biggest edge

Teams are still adjusting
Pitchers are not fully stretched
Bullpens are inconsistent

That creates massive inefficiencies in betting lines

This blog uses a data model built on

Pitcher ERA vs xERA gap
Team batting average last 7 days
Bullpen fatigue index
Strikeout to walk ratios
Home run rates

Because the odds have not fully adjusted yet

And that is exactly when data gives maximum edge
