Free MLB Picks Los Angeles Angels: Season-Long Handicapping and Specialization 5/23/2023
by Joey House - 5/23/2023
It's been some time since I've submitted a wager, but I've been following the Angels closely and am cautiously optimistic that their season can still be a successful one. It's been very disappointing to be a fan of a squad with so much talent and potential and year after year see it squandered and wasted. The last bet I did recommend was Texas vs. Los Angeles on May 5th (Cinco De Mayo) and I had the Angels -145 for 3 units and also the over at 9.0 at +100.
2023 World Series Betting Guide: Predictions, Odds, and Expert Picks
by Joey House - 5/22/2023
With the spread of legalized gambling in the U.S., a new layer of excitement can be added to this venerable sport. While responsible gambling needs to be practiced, wagering in any sport, but specifically a championship event like the World Series, enables the bettor to become "invested" and attached to the outcome of the game, enhancing the overall experience for the fan.
MLB Betting Advice: Hot and Cold Teams for Betting 5/15/2023
by Joey House - 5/15/2023
Both short-term and long-term trends are important in baseball wagering, as they help identify valuable betting opportunities. Short-term trends show recent performance and can help identify momentum shifts, while long-term trends provide a comprehensive view of a team's strengths and weaknesses. The relative importance of each depends on the situation and the bettor's goals. Considering both types of trends, along with other relevant information, can increase the chances of making profitable bets.

by Dave Schwab - 5/8/2023
The Oakland Athletics are busy planning a move to Las Vegas, and Circa Sportsbook is thrilled with the partnership with the MLB’s team. Las Vegas casino owner Derek Stevens is “absolutely” interested in partnering with the A’s as soon they are in town. He is part of the ownership of Circa, the D Vegas and Golden Gate, which are casinos and sportsbooks situated in downtown Las Vegas.

by Joey House - 5/5/2023
Friday evening brings the AL West-leading Texas Rangers (18-12) to Angel Stadium of Anaheim in an early battle for first place in the division as the Angels are sitting with an 18-14 record. LHP Tyler Anderson (1-0 5.74) pitches for Los Angeles, while there is some speculation as to who the Rangers will start. Jacob deGrom is on the 15-day IL. And even though it's Nathan Eovaldi's turn in the rotation, indications point to Texas having a "bullpen game" and starting long reliever Dane Dunning (2-0 1.77 ERA).
2023 American League Pennant Odds and Betting Predictions
by Matt Zitt - 5/4/2023
After a month of Major League Baseball in the books, there have been teams dramatically outperforming expectations. Whether it has been the lineup, rotation, bullpen, or a combination of all three, these teams seem poised to make a deep run in October. The Astros and Yankees have been sluggish and dealing with injuries. Teams like the Rangers and Rays have caught spectators by surprise. We will analyze below which teams might be the best bets to go to the World Series out of the American League.
2023 National League Pennant Odds and Betting Predictions
by Matt Zitt - 5/4/2023
The National League is filled with stars from left to right. Ronald Acuna Jr. has been red hot to start the 2023 campaign for the Atlanta Braves, and you can never count out Dave Roberts and the Dodgers. The Padres have two of the brightest young stars in the game with Juan Soto and Fernando Tatis Jr. And I do not think anyone could have predicted the amazing start in the Steel City from the Buccos. We will analyze below the best bets and values from which teams could make a deep run in October all the way to the World Series.

by Dave Schwab - 4/25/2023
Situated in the West Division of the American League, the Oakland Athletics have bought 49 acres of land from Red Rock Resorts on Tropicana Ave. in Las Vegas.

The 2023 MLB season has seen a slight shift in the traditional home-field advantage dynamic, with away teams winning slightly more games than home teams. Additionally, favorites have won more games than underdogs, reflecting more accurate predictions by the betting public.

by Joey House - 4/19/2023
After dropping three out of four to the Red Sox, the Los Angeles Angels moved onto the Bronx to do battle with the New York Yankees. The first game saw the Angels win 5-2 as it was pitcher by committee for Los Angeles. They used four different relievers and their starter, Jose Suarez, is nothing more than a long-relief specialist in a 6-man rotation. In three starts this season, he's pitched a total of 11.2 innings. In the battle of power between Ohtani and Judge, Shohei drew first blood, with a 2-run blast in the first.

This baseball season, I will be analyzing the Los Angeles Angels and their opponent and formulate a wagering strategy to maximize profit. While not every investment will be in the Angels' favor, what will be in YOUR favor is my in-depth knowledge of the American League West and MLB in general as we focus on the strongest selections.

Free MLB Picks Los Angeles Angels: Season-Long Handicapping and Specialization 4/10/2023
by Joey House - 4/10/2023
We started off our season on Friday night just like the Tampa Bay Ray, perfect. Trout took care of our total base prop of over 1.5 with one swing of the bat, going yard to left-center against Toronto starter Chris Bassitt. The over 9.0 total bet looked a little dicey after the Blue Jay's Bo Bichette hit a 3-run blast in the top of the 7th to give Toronto a 4-3 lead. However, both bullpens settled down and there was only one baserunner for either team for the remainder of the game.

2023 MLB Cy Young Award Odds and Predictions for AL and NL
by Joey House - 4/4/2023
The marathon grind that is the Major League baseball season has begun in earnest. Now that we have almost a full week under our belt, now is a great time to look at the futures of the Cy Young winners in each league and try to find some value from knee-jerk reactions by the public. Justin Verlander, the AL winner last season, lost his opening day start (albeit it was his first game in over a year), and Sandy Alcantara gave up five walks, and three runs in a no-decision, both of which made their already long odds even longer. Doc’s Sports will provide you with the all the information that allows you to make your long-shot wagers like these profitable.
2023 MLB Rookie of the Year Award Odds and Predictions for AL and NL
by Matt Zitt - 3/31/2023
Predicting the AL and NL Rookie of the Year is no simple task with a plethora of young prospects. It might have been surprising in 2022 that Julio Rodriguez made the Opening Day lineup, but once he did, he had no issues taking home the hardware. Jumping to the National League, no one could have predicted Michael Harris II leaping from Double-A to the show, let alone earning the Rookie of the Year Award. But that is exactly what happened. Let us take a look at some of the young studs that could take home the award in 2023.
2023 MLB MVP Award Odds and Predictions for AL and NL
by Joey House - 3/31/2023
One down, 161 more to go. For the first time in 55 years, every team played on Opening Day. Will Aaron Judge be the first back-to-back American League MVP since Miggy Cabrera, or will Shohei Ohtani reclaim his throne as the most dominant player in the Junior Circuit? With three of the top six players with the lowest odds on the board, will a San Diego Padres player win the MVP, or will a present or former Dodger player bring home the hardware for the most valuable player in the Senior Circuit?
How 2023 MLB Rule Changes will Impact Betting Lines
by Matt Zitt - 3/30/2023
America’s favorite pastime returns today with some major changes to the diamond. Last September, Major League Baseball announced three significant changes for the 2023 season: the addition of a pitch clock, the banning of the shift and increased size of the bases. Out of the three, the pitch clock is the most controversial to baseball traditionalists that believe the unlimited time of the game is part of baseball's charm. Pitchers will now have only 15 seconds to throw a pitch with the bases empty, and that number moves to 20 seconds with runners on base.

Spring Training Betting Tips and Expert Advice
by Trevor Whenham - 3/2/2023
March is probably my favorite month as a sports fan (or at least it is tied with a couple of others). College basketball is a big reason for that, but there is more. The NBA is finally getting interesting, hockey heads into the stretch drive, free agency creates a frenzy in the NFL. The most romantic and tradition filled part of March, though, is spring training. It's not necessarily the best baseball, and it tells us almost nothing about what to expect in the regular season, but it is the perfect way to start the long, glorious road to the World Series.
