MLB Betting Picks for Friday 6/11 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Last week was a stark reminder of how fickle baseball can be. Needing the Tigers to at least be tied with the White Sox through five innings, they entered the bottom of the fifth with the score at 1-1. Then, Spencer Turnbull was hurt and didn't manage to pitch in the fifth. The Tigers bullpen […]

MLB Betting Picks for Friday 6/4 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Last Saturday saw us bag two of three for a nice profitable two days. Saturday alone netted us +1.59 units. A quick heads-up that there won't be any Saturday article as I'm performing best man duties at a wedding all day. If you do want any info or tips on bets, reach out to the […]

MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 5/29 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

We have a slight change in our lineup as I'll now be taking on the Friday and Saturday picks this season. Hopefully going back-to-back days will give us a bit more consistency. Yesterday, the weather got the better of us with two postponements from our two game picks. The good news is our prop bet […]

MLB Betting Picks for Friday 5/28 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

We have a slight change in our lineup as I'll now be taking on the Friday picks along with my usual Saturday slot. Hopefully going back-to-back days will give me a bit more consistency, especially now I don't need to split focus on the EPL. Last Saturday saw the Padres cover the spread for a […]

MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 5/22 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

For the second week running, we lost our over/under bet by a meaningless run in a blowout game being scored in the ninth inning. We did nail two of our three prop bets so overall, finished the day with a minimal loss (-0.05 units). But still not a profit so we'll aim to do better […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 38: English Premier League

We've done it. We've reached the last matchweek of the season. Quite frankly, it can't come soon enough as the last couple of weeks have been a complete blowout. This season has bought some nice big winners but also plenty of heartbreak. At least 10 times we've missed out on a winner due to questionable […]

MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 5/15 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Last week was very hit and miss. Carlos Martinez got us off to a great start with under 4.5 K. Then Luis Castillo happened and the less said about him right now, the better. Finally, the madness occurred. Picking under nine runs in the Royals vs White Sox game, Chicago scored eight in the first […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 36: English Premier League

We've reached the penultimate weekend of the season and it's a smaller slate with the FA Cup Final taking place on Saturday. Much of the league has been decided with all three relegation places now confirmed and Manchester City crowned as Champions. There are a couple of games on Thursday still to play and the […]

MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 5/8 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

If you were here on Wednesday when I covered for Steve, you'd have read about how I'm leaning more to the prop bets which have been kind to me so far. What happened on Wednesday? The prop bet came in but the over/under pick did not, making it a break-even day. The over/under was a […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 35: English Premier League

Last weekend told a familiar tale. One winner and two games where just one goal would've seen us clean up. Leicester City failed to beat Southampton despite the latter playing over 80 minutes with ten men. Leeds failed to score away from home for only the fourth time all season. Chelsea did win in a […]

MLB Betting Picks for Wednesday 5/5 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

No, it isn't a Saturday and you've lost three days of your life. I'm filling in for Steve today and hopefully have a bit more luck than I did Saturday. Two big first innings destroyed us with Andrew McCutchen being nutmegged by a line drive and costing us two runs. The under missed by two […]

MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 5/1 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

A profitable day last week with our two top picks both banking, but the Twins failed to win and help us bag a hat-trick too. News broke earlier this week that the Twins had only been able to take pre-game batting practice three times all season due to Covid issues. And it's no coincidence they […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 34: English Premier League

As we predicted last week, the Premier League threw out some interesting scorelines alongside the Carabao Cup final and prior to the European fixtures this midweek. We mentioned how a newly relegated team suddenly finds an ability to win, with Sheffield United beating Brighton and we correctly had Leeds avoiding defeat against Manchester United. This […]

MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 4/24 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Last Saturday saw us go 2-2. Thankfully, the two wins were from the full unit stakes and the two losers were the speculative half-unit stakes. So we still made a profit. This week, we're unleashing our new secret weapon courtesy of Frank Ammirante (follow Frank on Twitter @FAmmiranteTFJ). Frank has put together the run trends from this […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 33: English Premier League

It's been a tumultuous week in the Premier League. The European Super League was formed and then ended within 48 hours, Tottenham fired Head Coach Jose Mourinho, Sheffield United got relegated and fans across the league have united to condemn the owners of six clubs. These are the sort of intangibles that can have an […]

Early Season Report Card - Starting Pitchers

It's now been three weeks since Opening Day and the majority of teams have played 16 games representing 10% of the season. That also means, for the most part, Opening Day starters and teams' aces have made between 10-12.5% of their starts. There are some exceptions of course due to postponements, largely COVID-related, which have […]

MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 4/17 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Rough Saturday last week. The Giants won by one run after we took them on the runline at -1.5. The Phillies and Braves played out a 5-4 game when we took the under at 8.5 runs. Thankfully, Yusei Kikuchi hit the over in strikeouts to get us our prop bet. So far, we're 2 for […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 32: English Premier League

I've never experienced heartbreak like I did during matchweek 31. Going into Monday, we were three for three (+117, +104 and +132) and got a correct score at +1150. Then came game four and with West Brom leading at half-time by two goals to nil, all we needed was Southampton to score in the second-half, […]

Welcome to the Cut List. This is our weekly article looking at players who fantasy managers should consider cutting from their teams. We'll look at players who are worthy of a drop, worth monitoring for replacing and someone on the hot seat but worth holding on to... for now. Moving forward, we'll also revisit the previous […]

MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 4/10 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

My first Saturday deputizing for Steve went so-so with one winner from three. Chris Flexen looked like the KBO version of himself rather than his old MLB version and the Brewers were on the losers in the best pitching dual of the season so far between Corbin Burnes and Jose Berrios. That's why we're treading […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 31: English Premier League

The first EPL weekend following a 3-week hiatus nearly hit big for us. A game one winner was followed by a game two winner. Unfortunately, game three broke our hearts. Needing under 2.5 goals, the game was looking good at 0-0 with just 30 minutes left. With 20 minutes left, the score was 1-0 which […]

MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 4/3 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

If you're expecting Steve Janik's picks today, then I'm afraid you're in for a disappointment. Steve will be continuing to do the weekdays and I'll be deputizing for the Saturday slates. As well as covering baseball at RotoBaller, I also do the EPL soccer betting pieces so have experience of both aspects and will hopefully […]
