MLB Double Headers - Strategies

[Tanko]

Anyone have a strategy they like to play on MLB double headers.

We have two double headers today.

Clev @ Det at 1:10 ET and again at 4:40 ET
Philly @ CWS at 4:10 and again at 7:40 ET

Let's here how you bet these...

 

[Tanko]

Ok.... Here's a couple I vaguely remember from some reading online.
I have no idea if they still work well.

• If a HOME team is a favorite in at least one of the two games, chase them with ML plays. Chase means betting them in game 1 and if they lose, double up and bet them in game 2. But, if they win game 1 stop and take the profits.
• In game 2, take the game 1 winners that are favored in game 2 AND had been favored favored in game 1.

• In game 2, take the game 1 winners that are favored in game 2 AND had been favored favored in game 1.

So for today's set of games:

Applying the 1st bullet:
> Clev/Det - No play since Clev is favored in both games and Det is Home team.
> PHI/CWS - Bet CWS on game 1. If they win, stop. If they lose, double the bet and bet CWS in game 2

Applying the 2nd bullet:
> Only the Clev/Det series will apply. If Clev wins the 1st game, then bet them in the 2nd game.

I wish I had kept the stats from wherever it was I read these strategies....

Good luck today, Tank! At first, I thought the first game already started.

The oldest trick in the book was take the losing team in the second game, but I don’t think that holds up anymore

Last I looked its like only a 48% winner of late.

Cleveland loses game 1 so no plays on then 2nd bullet strategy.

One potential play left....
Bet CWS game 1 and if it wins, stop.
If it loses, double up and bet CWS game 2.

 

[Tanko]

CWS lost game 1...
Time to chase for game 2...
Hopefully, this plays out well.

We have a double header today (Cle/Mia).
We won with the CWS on the last double header (using bullet 1 below). Looks like we might have a play today.

The strategies:

• If a HOME team is a favorite in at least one of the two games, chase them with ML plays. Chase means betting them in game 1 and if they lose, double up and bet them in game 2. But, if they win game 1 stop and take the profits.
• In game 2, take the game 1 winners that are favored in game 2 AND had been favored favored in game 1.

 

[Tanko]

Waiting on MIA to announce game 1 pitcher but right now CLE is favored in both games.

So, bullet 1 strategy applies:
>>> Bet CLE game 1 ML. If they win, stop. If they lose, chase in game 2.

Bullet 2 strategy may also kick in for a game 2 play:
>>> If CLE wins game 1. Play them in game 2.

Lets see how this plays out. Waiting on MIA pitching announcement for game 1 before committing.

 

[Tanko]

OK. Pitchers are announced.
Playing Cleveland game 1 ML strategy. There's a whole lotta juice on that one.
