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 […]
