This past week produced another set of solid results for my MLB Bullpen Drill-down Systems, highlighted by a big performance by better bullpen teams looking to thwart losing streaks, with the two-game and three-game angles each netting at least +4.2 units of profit. In fact, all six of the various betting systems I have been tracking and promoting for the last month or two continued their winning ways. I can’t stress enough how much I believe in the foundation of these methodologies and how easy it is to utilize. You only need two things: 1) the details of the systems as noted below and 2) VSiN Pro Access to the Makinen Daily Power Ratings page under the MLB tab on VSiN.com for easy usage.
As I just indicated, all of the angles continued their patterns of production last week. Let’s analyze the results, starting with my better-rated bullpen teams attempting to extinguish brief losing streaks quickly.
Better bullpen teams thwart losing streaks
After a solid 12-6 week (+4.3 units), updating the results when on two-game losing streaks, the teams with better bullpen ratings in a matchup have gone 124-80 for +29.73 units. Better bullpen teams on 3+ game losing streaks have gone 61-26 for +39.4 units. The R.O.I. on this system is 45.3%! These teams were an impressive 6-1 (+4.82 units) over the last seven days.
Better bullpen but overpriced angle
Highly-priced better bullpen teams were 9-6 this past seven days but still lost -6.4 units. Now, in games this season through Sunday 6/25 in which the team with the Steve Makinen better-rated bullpen was listed as a favorite of -190 or more, that team is now 135-70, but for –26.44 units. I have said this on numerous occasions this year (and in past seasons) but in my opinion, bullpens prove to be the difference in games that are priced more competitively, and I personally don’t like backing heavy favorites with this high of prices on any single regular season baseball game. I prefer the other side.
