    2019 Baseball Season Futures - Win Totals & Picks

    The 2019 MLB season is starting, which means the marathon season is upon us. That also means this is the best time to take a look at AccuScore's total win projections and compare them against Vegas win totals lines to find value. AccuScore's projections will adjust as the season progresses and you can always see adjusted win-loss projections at the bottom of the Expert Baseball Picks page.

    So, without further delay, here are AccuScore's baseball season win projections side-by-side with Las Vegas win totals lines.

    MLB - 2019 Baseball Win Totals Odds

    As you can see, there are a number of teams where AccuScore and Vegas disagree on projections, and we've put the ones that are off by 5.0 games or more in red and the ones that have a difference of 4.0 games or more in yellow. Notably, the win total lines for the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets are just about identical for both Vegas and AccuScore.

    On the opposite end, the greatest value comes via the San Francisco Giants. Vegas has set a line of 73.5 wins. AccuScore projects the Giants will win 79.9 games, which means there's a 6.4 game discrepancy. Only five teams have worse win total lines to start the season, and the odds of the Giants outperforming the low line are pretty good according to AccuScore.

    Baseball Futures Expert Picks: 2019

    1. San Francisco Giants: OVER 73.5: The Giants are simply projected to win far more games according to AccuScore, and this is the greatest value pick on the board.

    2.Tampa Bay Rays: UNDER 84.5: The Red Sox and the Yankees are stacked, and both teams are projected to win over 90 games. Add in that the Orioles are projected to win 65 games, according to AccuScore, and there just aren't all that many wins left for the Rays in the AL East. It'll be an interesting fight, but there are a lot of good reasons to pick the Under here.

    3.Kansas City Royals: OVER 69.5:OK, the Royal are not projected to be good, but even the slightest of good runs and the Royals pay off big time. In this case, the Royals only need to get to 70 wins to pay off, and AccuScore projects a robust 73.4 wins. Take the Royals Over.

    How to Use AccuScore's Baseball Picks

    New to AccuScore or haven't been here in a while? We got you. Here's how AccuScore works:

    First of all, since we're talking about baseball picks, click on "Baseball" at the top of the any AccuScore.com as demonstrated with the giant red arrow below:

    AccuScore Baseball Betting System

    Boom! Now you're on the baseball picks page. If you're not logged in as a member, you'll see one free game listed and all the other games will be shaded out. So, it's best to log in here and get full access to all the games. Click "Login" at the top right of the page, as demonstrated by the green arrow in the image below.

    AccuScore Baseball Betting System

    And so, now that you're in member mode, there are two primary ways to read AccuScore's picks. The graph view is the default view with the shaded in circle, but you can also enter the grid mode by clicking on the purple arrow in the image above.

    Graph Mode vs Grid Mode

    The default Graph Mode shows two circles. The Outside circle shows AccuScore's simulations results, i.e. Moneyline Picks. Meanwhile, the inside circle displays the current Las Vegas odds converted into a percentage. The visual of the odds and AccuScore's percentages side-by-side allows you to see the Side Value as the dark blue shaded portion of the inner circle. Hovering over the dark region, you can see the amount of Side Value the computer calculates, as displayed in the image below:

    AccuScore Baseball Betting System

    Above the circles, one finds star-ratings for the moneyline pick and for the Side Value pick. These stars rate from 1 to 4, with a 4-star pick meaning that a significant number of historic trends increases the computer's confidence in that particular pick.

    Below the circles in the shaded bottom third of the box, there is an Over/Under pick. In the example above, the computer's pick is listed as "Under" with the total runs line set at 8.5 runs. Next to "8.5" AccuScore shares its confidence in the pick by detailing that 59.4% of AccuScore's simulations went Under 8.5 runs.

    Next to the Totals pick, AccuScore also lists a Run Line pick. In the example above, AccuScore's pick is the New York Mets with a +1.0 runs handicap. In this case, only 44.9% of simulations ended with the Mets winning outright, while 25.1% of simulations ended with the Mets losing by exactly one run and the Nationals winning by 2 or more runs 38.0% of the time. As such, the pick is Mets +1, as this is the most likely outcome.

    Grid Mode: Ode to the Old Times

    Go back a couple images and the purple arrow shows you how to enter Grid Mode. Once there, You'll see something like this:

    The grid system is built on showing value and picks via numbers instead of images. So, here's the breakdown, reading left to right on the image above:

    "Date" and "Team" should be pretty self-explanatory.

    Then, we get into "Acc Sim%" - This is AccuScore's simulation results. In the example above, Kansas City won 36.4% of simulations, while Seattle won 63.6% of AccuScore's simulations.

    The "Odds%" column is Las Vegas moneyline odds converted to a percentage. Seeing the percentages side-by-side shows you where the value is. In the Seattle vs Kansas City game, AccuScore's 63.6% for Seattle to win is greater than Vegas's 56.4% to win, so there is value in picking Seattle on the moneyline in this example.

    "PS" is short for Point Spread, which means the handicap pick. The picks are listed in order: "Seattle -1.0, CHW +1.0, etc."

    "OU" on top of "ACC OU" is the Over/Under, or Totals, pick. The top row displays the current Total Runs line in Las Vegas. Below it, AccuScore lists the computer's calculated line. If it's higher than the Las Vegas line, the pick is Over. If it's lower than the Vegas line, the pick is Under. Simple.

    The Grid view also allows you to sort picks by star ratings for Moneyline, Side Value or Totals.
