I'm seeing a pattern develop with ARCHIE's plays.
Over 8.5 runs looks like a pet play.
Not a bad idea with the COVID-induced extra innings rules.
Get one team to four runs, have the other team match it with four runs and voila you have a winner.
In Football it's no secret 3 and 7 have significance and in Basketball JK has sold me on the significance of 3 and a Half.
Many many years ago a computer geek friend of mine analyzed several (I can't recall the exact number ) years of MLB results and told me that there were 4 key numbers to look for in MLB baseball totals:
For betting Unders : 9 and a half and 7 and a half
and for betting OVERS 8 and a half and 8.
and that's with no other parameters.
FWIW:
NINE AND HALF WAS THE TOTAL THAT CAUGHT HIS ATTENTION THE MOST-
He told me there were YEARS where if you bet every 9 1/2 under you would have won money.
