How Bet Labs Teams Works
F5 (First 5 Innings)
Game Phase = F5 grades by the score after the bottom of the 5th. Win = your team had more runs through 5; Loss = fewer; Tie = equal. Ties are common in F5 (~10-15% of games) and are excluded from Win % — same convention used for full-game ties. Only games that completed at least 5 full innings count. F5 mode has no Total Line, Direction, ML, or RL filters — it is a straight-up market.
What it does
Pick a season and a window (Full / Last 5 / Last 10 / Last 20). Optionally constrain by team, opponent, venue, opposing-pitcher hand, day/night, or a game-total line. The table shows per-team W/L and Over/Under records computed over only the games that match all your active filters.
Win %
Wins ÷ (Wins + Losses). The rare tie (suspended-then-tied game) is excluded from both numerator and denominator.
Over %
Active when you set a Total Line. Counts games where the final total (home + away) exceeded your line. Pushes (total exactly equals the line) are excluded from the percentage's denominator — standard betting convention since a push refunds the bet.
The Total Line is yours
You type the line. The system grades against that exact number, not the historical closing line for each game. A team's 8-2 record over 8.5 might tell a different story than over 9.0; experiment.
Pitcher Hand
"vs LHP" / "vs RHP" classifies each historical game by the opposing starting pitcher's throwing hand. Bullpen handedness is not considered.
Day/Night cutoff
Night = first pitch is 6 PM Central Time or later (precomputed at sync time). This is a heuristic; stadium-local time is not used. Nearly all 7+ PM ET or 4+ PM PT games map to Night under CT anyway.
Direction (Over / Under)
Picks which side you're saving when this becomes a system. When a Total Line is also set, the percentage column switches from "Over %" to "Hit %" so you see the win rate on your chosen side.
Moneyline (Favorite / Underdog)
Filters to only games where the team's closing moneyline was negative (favorite) or positive (underdog). The closing line is Hard Rock Bet's last pre-first-pitch snapshot — games without a Hard Rock line (or whose only capture came after first pitch) are excluded rather than priced from another book. Coverage chip near the result count tells you how many games are priced.
Run Line (Lay -1.5 / Take +1.5)
Standard MLB run line. "Lay -1.5" = the team was favored by 1.5 runs at close. "Take +1.5" = the team was the +1.5 underdog. Same odds-coverage caveat as the moneyline filter.
Saving with no line
If you save a system with Direction = Over/Under but no Total Line, the alert uses tonight's posted total at match time. Lets you bookmark a matchup pattern without locking in a specific number.
