Yankees/Red Sox MLB BOOKIE BU$TER The Trend(s): The public is heavily backing the Yankees behind rookie right-hander Cam Schlittler (8-3, 1.71 ERA), who put on an absolute clinic last week by fanning 13 batters against Cincinnati. However, history signals a major letdown spot here: league-wide this season, teams are a dismal 1-4 straight up, not even against the runline in their next game if their starting pitcher recorded 13 or more strikeouts in his previous outing. The Bet: Red Sox +1½ (3%). |

5% NL Runline of the Month SUPER MAX BET The Angle(s): Washington Nationals have been the most profitable team in baseball for backers this season. Washington has put together an impressive 7-3 stretch over their last 10 games, riding an offense that is absolutely filling up the box score by averaging 6.0 runs per contest. They hand the ball to right-hander Cade Cavalli (4-4, 4.07 ERA), who has historically shown a solid ability to navigate this dangerous Philadelphia lineup, most notably holding superstar Bryce Harper to a meager .111 average (1-for-9) with 3 strikeouts. Philadelphia southpaw Cristopher Sanchez (9-3, 1.80 ERA) is an absolute beast on the mound, but his effectiveness takes a major hit when he leaves his home ballpark, as his ERA jumps by more than 2 runs on the road. With the Nationals swinging hot bats, back the hosts at a great price. Gimme the dawg. Bonus Fade Angle: Philadelphia is currently a "System Fade" candidate after scoring 9+ runs in their previous game. Historically, teams scoring 9+ runs see a significant ROI drop (-6.7%) in the following contest due to oddsmaker overpricing. The Bet: Nationals +1½ (5%). |

Sweden/Japan FIFA Word Cup TOP PLAY of the Day The Angle(s): Sweden has two world-class strikers on Victor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak, but their defense leaves plenty to be desired, and was completely exposed in a 5-1 loss to the Netherlands. A draw would suit both teams just fine, but I think we'll see goals. The Bet: Over (4%). |

Mike "Moneymaker" Lundin's experience as a professional poker player has proven to be an immeasurable asset in sports handicapping. He's a numbers guy, with a keen eye for spotting trends and stats that just don't jive with the odds offered by the bookmakers. All Mike's plays come with write ups backing up his selection, giving you a glimpse into his process of breaking down games. ----Bankroll Management---- Mike rates his plays between 100-500* with the 500* bets being the MAX B€T$. Bet each * with 1% of your bankroll. 200* (2%) = Free picks and low-confidence / high-variance plays 300* (3%) = Regular plays 400* (4%) = TOP PLAY$ = Play of the Day and other top play releases 500* (5%) = MAX BET$ = Game of the Week, Month, and Game of the Year releases Just as in cash game poker, the goal is not to win that giant pot once in a while, but to build your bankroll slowly and steadily by identifying +EV situations to exploit. ----Handicapping Methodology---- As a former online poker pro, Mike knows the value of creating systems and winning formulas through statistical analysis and math to use as a baseline, but much like poker, sports are played by human beings with emotions and feelings. Identifying letdown spots, bounce-back spots and situational betting in general plays a big part in Mike's success in picking winners, but he's also not a stranger to locking in a bet based on stats and trends alone. |
