Accuscore’s MLB Opening Day 2020 Season Futures

The MLB season is finally here, after being postponed for almost four months. Despite the condensed schedule, we still have 900 games of baseball and a ton of MLB picks ahead of us, not to mention the playoffs, taking place as usual in their usual format. So after all is said and done, the MLB World Champion will be crowned in 2020 as well. Washington Nationals took everyone by surprise last season, winning the title ahead of the 2017 champions Houston Astros. Accuscore predicted both of the teams to make it to top-4 before the season, as Nationals were 2^nd in the NL and Astros the best in the league and AL. But now the last season is done and dusted, so who will be the dark horse in this season’s race, or are the favorites likely to steamroll over the challengers in the shortened season?

Accuscore’s simulation engine has once again huffed and puffed the season through for some 10 000 times to determine the outcome of the fast and furious 2020 MLB Regular Season. And once again, the simulations somewhat disagree with the Season Futures lines provided by the oddsmakers. Here’s a look how the Accuscore simulations predict the regular season to finish.

The Best Value Futures for MLB 2020 Regular Season

Take a long shot with an underdog

The current MLB odds for the heavy underdogs making the playoffs are set way higher than Accuscore’s simulations indicate. Yes, bad teams are still bad teams, but just as a bad team might have a good run for a month or two in full length season, they just might have a good run in the condensed season. It is likely that the difference in winning percentage remains quite small throughout the league, so those long odds for some of the underdogs seem extremely attractive – if only betting some pocket change, the returns are mouthwatering.

San Francisco Giants to make playoffs: Accuscore 16.40% - Vegas 2.44%, take odds of +4000

Detroit Tigers to make playoffs: Accuscore 9.22% - Vegas 2.44%, take odds of +4000

Fancy the up-and-coming challengers

Praising Atlanta Braves is starting to sound like a broken record, but for a good reason. There are barely any weak points in the roster and Braves made strides already last season. Now it’s time for the breakthrough and despite NL East being extremely competitive, the odds for Braves to go to playoffs are simply too good to pass.

Atlanta Braves to make playoffs: Accuscore 83.85% - Vegas 48.78%, take odds of +105

Accuscore’s Best Value Win Total Over/Under

Baltimore Orioles has the least wins budgeted by Vegas, with the line being at 20.5, meaning a winning 35% of their games. Now, remember the season is way shorter than usual and we are onto something here. Baltimore won exactly 1/3 of their games last season and they would need one extra win this time to make it to 21. Accuscore has Baltimore at 26 wins, so we’ll take the over 20.5 wins for Orioles.

Tampa Bay Rays went all the way to playoffs last season, recording 96 wins, beating Oakland easily in the Wild Card and properly challenging Houston Astros in the playoffs. That being said, Rays’ win total is pushed to 33.5 this season, putting them third in the AL. Yankees should take the division easily, and Toronto with declining Red Sox are worthy opponents. Accuscore has Tampa Bay winning 30 games, so we like the line of under 33.5 here.

What is Accuscore?

Accuscore provides predictive analytics on sports, based on the company’s own algorithmic simulation engine which has been under constant development for almost two decades. Sports predictions are an outcome of simulations in which individual games are simulated for thousands of times in order to arrive to the most likely results. These results are then used to create analytical predictions, content and advice for bettors, pundits or any stakeholders in the industry or media field. For the individual US users, Accuscore’s predictions can be accessed through subscription to BetQL.

The Accuscore simulation engine uses the relevant historical data of the players, teams and leagues to predict the outcomes of the games before they have started. The simulation results are based on the individual player performances and weighted according to the teams’ form, opponent and other circumstances that have been proven relevant to the outcome of the match. We have managed to filter out the unnecessary data-points by determining which are important and which are not – this has taken several hundreds of thousands of simulations, cross-references and comparisons of simulation results to actual outcomes.

Accuscore aims to provide independent, unbiased and objective sports predictions for all the customers. We strive to be transparent and all our simulations results are available in the archives. Throughout the years Accuscore has worked with several betting companies, for example Pinnacle and Coolbet, media houses such as Telia and Sporing News, sports teams and leagues, and of course individuals through our subscription service.

Our capabilities include tailoring the sports predictions service to any B2B need with different licensing models, revenue sharing programs or affiliate markets. We can package content based on the simulations in several different ways, which can include automated widgets, unique articles, videos or pure numbers from a feed – whatever suits your needs!

How to use Accuscore sports predictions?

Accuscore’s simulations provide various advantages for both businesses and individuals. The simulations are based on a sovereign algorithmic system and all the simulations are always ran the exact same way. The only variables are the data inputs which the simulation engine then uses to create the sports predictions according to the algorithmic model. The model has a proven track record and for example the NFL picks have provided constant profit over the years.

The simulations provide probabilities for the outcomes of the games which include – depending of the sport – for example the most likely final result, the amount of goals or points and player performances. These sport predictions can be compared to odds in order to make a more educated betting decision or they can be used to support, oppose or adjust ones view on the betting market.

For businesses the sports predictions provide an opportunity to use original content in various forms which can be modified to suit any need, for example: providing more information to customers, attracting traffic or users, as unique content to publish or for other marketing purposes such as short videos for social media. We are happy to tailor our service for each B2B customer.
