Cajun's MLB Umpire Totals Report II
By: Cajun Sports
We are back with our second edition of our Major League Baseball Umpire Totals Report which 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 and should never be used as a standalone. 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.
