Ballpark Bets: Wins, Total Bases, Dinger of the Day

Cubs Money line (+109) This one is lofty, but I’m riding the trend. The Phillies have the most favorable matchup in regards to pitching. Zack Wheeler is an ace and Matthew Boyd (while very good this season), isn’t Wheeler. However, the Phillies have been playing a bad brand of baseball. They’ve been out scored 28-9… read more

Ballpark Bets: Pitchers, Pitchers, and More Pitchers

Lopez 5+ Strikeouts / Twins Win (+134) The hottest team in baseball; the Minnesota Twins, who have won 12 straight. Their pitching has been elite in this span and Lopez has done his fair share to help. Yes, he has a 4.09 his last three starts, but the strikeouts is the big thing. He’s averaging… 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

Baseball Bets: Thankfully It’s Friday!

Skubal 6+/Tigers Money line (-140) One of the best pitchers in baseball and a strikeout machine. Not to mention, he is taking on one of the worst offenses in baseball. The Rangers struggle to score runs and in fact do still strikeout. This will be a very fun matchup for Skubal. Skubal averages 10.62 K/9… read more

Ballpark Bets: We’re So Back for Friday!

San Diego Padres Money line (-142) This is a phenomenal pitching matchup to tune into. Michael King has been an absolute gem on the mound and has been a rock for them in the rotation. He will go head to head with Rays southpaw Shane Baz, who is also off to a very nice start… read more

Nick Pivetta Off to Strong Start as a Member of the Padres

One of the quieter teams this winter was the San Diego Padres. This is a team that had the Los Angeles Dodgers on the ropes of elimination and still have a quality team to build around and win with. Yes, there are things going on among the front office, but this is a Padres team… read more
