MLB Picks: New York Mets at Cincinnati Reds

Normally this game would qualify as a no play for me. I don’t like betting where two bad teams are involved. For me, unreliability breeds volatility, and I traditionally just dismiss games like this as “two bad teams, no bet”…

But today is different.

Alfredo Simon has come on to have a great year, and the best part about the Reds rotation is that he goes in front of one of the best pitchers in baseball, Cy Young contender Johnny Cueto. This is basically a progression bettor’s dream – a high value line with a good pitcher followed by a strong favorite.

The computer issues an interesting challenge here, because I like this one for my system but there’s no signal. Another parameter missing for a forum wager is that the Reds are just too cold and lack the momentum to make a trustworthy wager.

Still – a weak team like the ...

MLB Picks 8/16: Milwaukee Brewers at LA Dodgers, Clayton Kershaw

MLB Picks 8/16: Milwaukee Brewers at LA Dodgers

The computer has me a little bit nervous here. They see no value on the Dodgers, they see almost a 50/50 coin flip despite the -200 odds, and they expect the game to go over. I expect it to be a grind with clear value on Clayton Kershaw. And so it goes…

I don’t see the Brewers coming into LA and beating the Dodgers twice in a row with their two best pitchers. Greinke got tired and the game slipped away from the Dodgers yesterday, but I expect them to bounce ...

Free MLB Picks Contest ($200 in Facebook Prizes): Detroit Tigers at Pittsburgh Pirates

MLB Picks Contest ($150, $50 Prizes): First Round, Detroit Tigers at Pittsburgh Pirates

Tuesday, August 12th

This is the first round of our next MLB Picks Contest, featuring a $150 prize to the first participant to reach ten wins and a $50 prize for the person who gets there second. The contest is free to join, simply comment on this post to participate.

The Tigers and Pirates are two evenly matched teams with similar records. It’s an inter league game, which always adds a little volatility to the matchup. Further, if the Tigers do have a slight roster edge, it’s mitigated by having to travel to Pittsburgh to face the Pirates on their home turf. Get used to it, most of the games we feature will be very difficult, just like this.

Feel free to comment on this post to participate. Free money is the best kind of money, isn’t it?

Good luck to all our participants in this round ...

MLB Picks: New York Mets at Washington Nationals

The Nats can be a little bit infuriating at times, and last night was one such occasion. The lineup didn’t show up, the pitching was mediocre, the game got away from them as a result, and a bad team came into DC and beat up on them.

I don’t think this series can continue like that for long. The Nationals are the better team, and I think they’ll wake up the bats a little in support of the better pitcher, Doug Fister. At home with decent value in the line against a weak ...

MLB Picks: New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox, Sunday Night Baseball

MLB Picks: New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox

I love this rivalry and look forward to Sunday Night Baseball. It’s Derek Jeter’s final year, two strong pitchers are going, neither team is hitting all that well right now, and I expect another really fun battle. As such, my system bet is to not bet this game. That said, there is a weak signal on the Yankees and a decent output suggesting the over. Let’s look a little deeper.

While the Yankees aren’t hitting right now, the Red Sox have been a mess. They sold off their ace and mortgaged ...

MLB Picks: Chicago Cubs at LA Dodgers, ABC Progression

MLB Picks: Chicago Cubs at LA Dodgers ABC Progression

It’s rare that I feel some hesitation with a game that so perfectly fits my system. It might be due to the fact that neither team has a top pitcher going for them, making this series feel a little bit funny. Either way, all parameters are satisfied, and trusting my system I follow it despite a little bit of hesitation. We’ll go a little smaller than usual as a result, but we’re still in for an ABC chase progression on this series.

The LA Dodgers are burning hot, winning five in ...
