Q:

How does OPS impact a player′s value in sports betting?

Last season, I placed several bets on baseball games based solely on the teams′ win-loss records and starting pitchers. Unfortunately, many of my bets didn′t pan out as expected. I′ve heard that OPS (On-base Plus Slugging) is a crucial statistic for evaluating player performance in baseball. How does OPS impact a player′s value from a sports betting perspective? Should I consider it more heavily when placing my bets?

How does OPS compare to other stats like batting average or home runs when assessing a team's offensive potential for betting? Should I focus solely on OPS, or should I look at a combination of statistics?
