Ballpark Bets: Winners, Total Bases, and HOME RUNS
Ballpark Bets: Winners, Total Bases, and HOME RUNS
Paul Skenes 7+ (-140) The man with the best mustache in baseball. Paul Skenes has been a machine on the mound as of late. He’s surrendered just four earned runs in his last six starts and reaching the seven strikeout mark has been a thing of beauty in that span as well. He has a… read more
Ballpark Bets: Performance Doubles, Total Bases, and Dinger of the Day
Kris Bubic 5+ Strikeouts (-185) We just saw Noah Cameron, notably not a strikeout guy punch out six batters in his outing against the Yankees. Bubic, who is more of a shrieking guy should very much be able to hit five in this outing. Bubic has been an awesome pitcher for the Royals. He has… read more
Ballpark Bets: Strikeouts, Money Lines, and Daily Dingers
Strider U 6.5 -105 Seven seems very lofty, even for Strider. He has only struck out more than five just once, and it was his most recent outing against the Phillies. That’s great to see, but he is taking on one of the best offenses in baseball with the Arizona Diamondbacks. I have no doubt… read more

Ballpark Bets: Home Runs, Moneylines, and PD’s
Will Warren 6+ Strikeouts/Yankees Win (-130) Will Warren has been very good lately and has been a huge boost for the starting rotation. He’s allowed just three earned runs in his last three starts and has a 26-3 K-BB ratio. Very good. He’s taking on the Rockies and striking out six is quite doable, as… read more

Ballpark Bets: Pitching Duels and Triumphant Returns
Soto 2+ Total Bases (+140) This is purely a vibes pick, but I dig it. Juan Soto is returning to the Bronx for the first time since leaving the franchise to sign with the Mets. Yankees fans are ruthless and they will not be shy to booing Soto and trying to rattle him. Soto is… read more
Ballpark Bets: A Day for the Underdogs
Senga 6+ / Mets -1.5 (+145) The Mets have a good chance to win by two or more runs. Keller struggles to get batters to whiff and to strikeout and is walking batters 7.5% of the time. I think the Mets bats go to work and deliver at the plate. Crazy thing is they haven’t… read more
Ballpark Bets: Happy Monday and a new week of Baseball
Shohei Ohtani 2+ Total Bases (-125) Yep. I will hammer this one down. Ohtani has been wonderful against the Marlins in his career. Yes, Sandy Alcantara could be a road block, but he has not been efficient this season. In his career, Ohtani is hitting .274 against the Marlins and has 17 hits, with nine… read more
Is The ‘Nick Castellanos Home Run Trend’ Officially Dead?
Osama Bin Laden’s death, the Thom Brennaman incident, and Joe Biden withdrawing from the presidential race. You might be asking yourself; “what do these three random moments have in common?” “What is the ONE common denominator in history that strings these three situations together?” Well, and I’m not kidding when I say this……it’s Nick Castellanos… read more
