By Cajun Sports
This is our first Major League Baseball Umpire Totals Report for the 2010 MLB Season. This report looks at the Top Ten Over and Under Umpires currently in the majors. The purpose of this report is to assist you in making your baseball total selections. We have found that certain umpires have a tendency to call a game over or under at a higher percentage than their peers.
This report should be an added element to your handicapping arsenal but it should never be used as a standalone reason for choosing to play a particular total. Adding umpire data to your fundamental, situational and technical elements should help guide you to more winners than losers when it comes to handicapping MLB Totals.
