Salary caps are bad, and the WNBA’s is no different. Then: A little more torpedo bat, and a little Justin Steele talk.
Today’s Best Bets: Matthew Liberatore’s Strong Start(s)
Well, the MLB unders was not a winning idea. Apologies to any who accompanied us on that detour. Thankfully, we’ve got two moneyline wins in a row now, and we’ve been strong lately in motorsports, where we’re hoping to go two-for-three today. Philadelphia at St. Louis It’s a Sunday, so we’re picking a Saturday loser, […]
Today’s Best Bets: Sacramento, Again
In case you missed yesterday’s bets, let me explain why I have all this egg on my face. Our core strategy—our daily MLB moneyline—won. Our short-term dive—a theory about torpedo bats, temporarily depressed offense, and unders—lost, and it lost badly. Not quite badly enough to make yesterday a losing day, but badly enough to make […]

Today’s Best Bets: Two Red Flags and the Coogs
The Rockies came through yesterday, giving us a much-needed 2–0 weekend on the diamond. For better or worse, our method has us back on a big underdog tonight. Houston vs. Florida We also have some outstanding futures on the Coogs, but those are small. I think it’s 3 units to win 13.75 units. (Our tracking […]
Today’s Best Bets: Dollander Debuts, and Darlington
Sunday afternoon plays.
Today’s Best Bets: The Final Four and Jacob deGrom
No dice on yesterday’s MLB longshot. We’ve got another moneyline there today, an F1 move, Final Four picks, and another NCAA Tournament future as the clock ticks down. Auburn vs. Florida For whatever it’s worth, the last time the Final Four went to the Alamodome, overs went 2–1 against kenpom’s totals and won handily on […]

Today’s Best Bets: Rocks and Mocs
Another loss yesterday. Not a terrible start to the baseball season, but not what we’ve wanted. AL West We talked about this yesterday: The AL West is probably pretty open this year. And so far, it looks like markets are continuing their trend of being one year late on the Rangers. Pick: Texas to win […]

Today’s Best Bets: Springs in Sacramento
We keep getting our butts kicked in daily markets, last night courtesy of that eighth-inning Diamondbacks grand slam. But, with UC Irvine and Chattanooga both making the NIT Championship, we’re at least going to make some units on our college basketball futures. Here’s what we’re in on today. ALCS The Mariners have been in the […]
