There is a popular handicapping website that has the umpire trends listed for team match ups.
I can see the importance of team trends, pitcher trends, and head to head trends.
How significant are umpire trends?
Do you use them?
Thanks for your help,
Undefeated
it's actually valuable information
some umpires are more liberal with strike zones (more walks)
allstar break is a great time to start using the info
i have to go to the store and buy some cap'n crunch and mountain dew
Thanks for your feedback.
If the capper who is coming up with these plays below truly does put weight on the umpire trends then this is a statistic to be really looked at along with the other stats.
Umpire UNDER streakers 72-24-8 (75%)
umpire = Cooper 13-3-1 L17 ( bet under on MLB game between BOS/DET)
umpire = West 10-2-2 L14 (bet under on MLB game between HOU/MIN)
umpire = Danley 14-3-1 L18 (bet under on MLB game between KC/SEA)
This guy came out of the blue on Twitter with these trends and has been money from what I have seen, you can also find umpire trends in our MLB daily trend sheet as well Undefeated77.
For Tuesday 9/3
MLB Umpire Under Streakers - Currently 76-25-8 (75%)
Miller 12-3 L15 (LAA/TB)
Barrett 16-4 L20 (CLE/BAL)
Gonzalez 7-0 L7 (COL/LAD)
Blade, do some books have advanced betting options where you can bet purely on the umpire and what he is going to do? I know my book does not.
Also, if you are going to bet the under on the total of those Tuesday TEAM MATCH UPS posted above then using other team trends that I have identified, the Cleveland / Baltimore game has the best under trends all around to add to the umpire trends. This is the only one I have bet on out of the three posted above for Tuesday.
My best to all, Undefeated77

No, would be real headache to grade for a book and not worth the work since very few people would use it.

When betting solely based on trends I like to look at all the trends/info I can find and use everything I gather to see if it is worth a bet or not, somethings I bet purely on a trend or some I might use trends to influence a bet.
Hope all this dribble makes sense, late at night here and had a few beers after a brutal day at work.

You can also apply the Dunkel filter to
these totals to see how they check out.
My chosen investment also checks out
with the Dunkel filter that you guys and
gals can find in the free service plays section:
I took the under between Clev./Balt.
Game 965-966: Baltimore at Cleveland (7:05 p.m. EST)
Dunkel Ratings: Baltimore (Tillman) 16.102; Cleveland (Jimenez) 14.587
Dunkel Line: Baltimore by 1 1/2; 7
Vegas Line: Baltimore (-120); 8 1/2
Dunkel Pick: Baltimore (-120); Under
I took the under between Clev./Balt.
IT WAS A WINNER.

For Wednesday I have found a great under for umpire trends AND both pitchers have strong under trends also.
Here is my investment:
Baseball - 917 Texas Rangers/Oakland Athletics under 7 -110 for Game
Umpire UNDER streaker
Kulpa 6-1 L7 (OAK/TEX)
Last night I looked for the UMPIRE UNDER STREAKER play(s) and I could not find it or them, so I did my own searching for an under play in MLB and found the Oak/Tex game and posted it above. Since then I find that both CHASE ADAMS and the BASEBALL CRUSHER cappers recommend the under in the Oak/Tex game, besides the UMPIRE UNDER STREAKER also recommending it. The only fly in the ointment is Dunkel which has over to a total of 8. Oh well, Dunkel is not always right.
Umpire UNDER streaker
Kulpa 6-1 L7 (OAK/TEX)
