Baseball - Who is Smacking Left Handed Pitching

Left handed pitching has been dominating this season. If a team has a lefty on the mound and going up against a right handed pitcher, they have gone [284-242, +45 units] this season. A $1,000 bettor is staring at a cool $45,000 from just that fact alone. But there are some teams you do not want to go against when facing a lefty.

Detroit Tigers

You do not want to go against them ever, plain and simple. Not only are they [18-7, +9 units] against lefties, they are [39-21, +16 units] against righties.

Texas Rangers

One of the best kept secrets in baseball and that is these Rangers are smacking the heck out of lefties. The Rangers are only [43-42, -2.2 units] this season but are [13-7, +6 units] against lefties.

New York Yankees

The Yankees are starting to create a legacy of smacking lefties around. As they are +22 units against lefties over the previous 4 seasons coming into this one. The Yankees are [16-8, +4.5 units] against lefties.

New York Mets

The Mets are only [38-28, +2.5 units] against righties. Seeing most of their bankroll success against lefties. These Mets have gone [13-6, +4 units] against lefties.

So if we were to redefine out betting angle above to take teams going against right handed pitching with a lefty on the mound and NOT going up against either the Tigers, Rangers, Yankees, or Mets, we have a betting angle that has gone [262-206, +56 units]. Good luck in the second half of the baseball season.
