Baseball - Baseballs Money Makers in 2006 All Star 

If you bet on the same team day in and day out, you will get burned. Of the 30 teams, only 7 teams are positive units. Although most teams are negative units, they are generally just a smidge negative.

Here are the list of baseball' money makers:

Detroit Tigers (+24 units)
Chicago White Sox (+14 units)
Boston Red Sox (+11 units)
Minnesota Twins (+9 units)
New York Mets (+6.4 units)
Colorado Rockies (+6.2 units)
Toronto Blue Jays (+2.2 units)

Only 2 of the teams are National League squads. The Rockies are the surprise team. Their home success has been well documented but it is their road performance this season that is making our wallets thicker. On the road, they are [22-21, +6 units]. Despite being barely over 500, they have been considerably undervalued with consistency on the road.

Baseball's biggest losers are:

Pittsburgh Pirates (-25 units)
Chicago Cubs (-25 units)
Atlanta Braves (-19 units)
Philadelphia Phillies (-15.5 units)
Cleveland Indians (-15 units)

Teams that lose a lot of money are usually teams that were good the previous season. If they were bad the previous season and still bad this season they would be +250 every game, right? So even if they lost a lot of games, they would still be respectable as far as units. Looking at the list, we see 3 of the 5 biggest losers were either in the playoffs or in the playoffs hunt: Indians, Phillies, Braves. The Cubs continue to be overvalued because of their notoriety and we have explained countless times always go against them. And much of why these Pirates are so bad is because they just cannot seem to find an answer against lefties having gone [6-23, -18 units] against them.
