I didn’t find anything I was willing to wager on so let’s go with another set of baseball trends, angles and a system. If the juice was lower on over 9 runs in the Rockies/Yankees game, I would have bitten on the over. If the total was 9.5 in the Angles/Astros game, I would have played the under. However such is not the case so once again, here are numerous angles plus a MLB system. I do believe these angles went 6–3 yesterday and the system on the Dodgers at –1 run did win however Strasburg didn’t start for the Nationals as he was scratched from the line-up due to a lower back strain.
