Road Racing at The Glen: NASCAR Cup Race Preview

It's road course racing time again as the NASCAR Cup circuit makes its annual stop at Watkins Glen, NY. The stock car boys have been racing here continuously since 1986 and on the track's current configuration since 1992. Road courses can be polarizing with NASCAR fans, but the BetCrushers team…

Hot or Not: MLB 7/30/2019

Monday's break from betting the MLB was a good example of "If the glove don't fit, you must"... OK, maybe that's not the most appropriate analogy. There's no shame in sitting on the sidelines when the games don't show me much. It's that time of year and the Monday card…

The Plot Thickens – MLB 7/28/2019

No task seems too tall when a team is in a groove. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have Christian Yelich's spot in the lineup come up when needed the most. Yelich was clutch against Kimbrel in the 10th and Hiura sealed the deal with a 2-run bomb of his…

Pressure Cooker – MLB 7/27/2019

The NL Central is arguably one of the more disappointing divisions in MLB this season. Division-leader St. Louis is 9 games above .500 with Chicago and Milwaukee right on their heels. The Cardinals have been propelled to the top via a scorching hot run and now the Cubs and Brewers…

Back With the King – MLB 7/26/2019

Miles Mikolas gave up the 3 runs that was expected of him in the Thursday afternoon divisional showdown. Fortunately for us Cardinals backers, he did so over 6 solid innings and the bullpen was stout enough to hold the 6-3 margin. Pittsburgh's Musgrove lived up to what appeared to be…

Battle of Attrition – MLB 7/25/2019

After successfully backing the Cardinals Tuesday, I laid low on the MLB card for a number of reasons. Generally speaking, the card quality peaks in June and then we start seeing too many starters that are tough to back or too expensive to fade. There are still gems in the…

Knife Fight – MLB 7/23/2019

Buying low on the Texas Rangers last night was the result of ill-placed confidence in them righting the ship against a Mariners club that has essentially given up on the season. Marco Gonzales escaped a 2nd inning disaster with a 0-2 deficit and never looked back. Sampson got little support…

Buying Low – MLB 7/22/2019

The dog days of summer usher a lot of new faces to the MLB diamond, especially on the pitcher's mound. This means plenty of matchups that have lopsided lines and/or unproven pitchers at the major league level. All of this equates to a lot of passing on my part, including…

Heat Wave – 7/21/2019

So the Reds bullpen CAN hold a lead. Saturday's Reds F5 -136 wager pushes as Mikolas dueled Castillo to a 0-0 deadlock after 5 innings. The Cards then cracked Castillo for a solo shot but the Reds answered and held on for a 3-2 win. My hesitancy to get behind…

Stopping Short – MLB 7/20/2019

A combination of family matters and a lack of a convincing bet-on game led to a "day off" from wagering the MLB. I had an opportunity to run through Saturday's slate late on Friday from the hotel and circled one game that looked like a viable opportunity. Arizona and Atlanta…

No Cigar – MLB 7/18/2019

Atlanta/Milwaukee was one hell of a game Wednesday. An early mistake by Keuchel was costly, though the Atlanta offense made sure their club was never out of the game. The Brewers had the "big inning(s)" that I figured would be the difference maker and proved to be the difference in…

Bob and Weave – MLB 7/17/2019

I sat Tuesday out from MLB wagering as the betting slate showed me nothing appetizing to bite on. Instead, I gave a quick overview of a couple key matchups I am exploring for this weekend's NASCAR Cup Foxwoods Casino 301 at New Hampshire. Our team has also been grinding on…

Profit from Struggles – MLB 7/15/2019

San Francisco's offense is a bit of a head scratcher. When you put it in the context of a full MLB season, hot or cold streaks for teams, offenses, pitchers, etc. are just a routine part of the 162-game grind. Tyler Beede did a phenomenal job of scratching out nearly…

Recency Bias? – MLB 7/14/2019

When it comes to the starting pitchers in last night's Reds/Rockies game, I was completely wrong. Roark got hammered for 13 hits, 3 homers, and 7 runs. Freshly-recalled Kyle Freeland did not give up a single home run or a walk. Walks and home runs needed to be the Reds'…

Back in the Majors – 7/13/2019 MLB

Speaking of which, it's certainly good to be back on the MLB grind. It doesn't hurt when the Red Sox have your back and smack down the Dodgers 8-1. Rodriguez exceeded our high expectations with only 1 earned run and 10 strikeouts against the potent LA lineup. Maeda was as…

Reading the Splits – MLB 7/12/2019

Baseball is back with a full slate, NFL preparations are heating up, and all is well in the handicapping world for the BetCrushers team. Before the All-Star Break, we were sharpening our approaches to live betting the MLB...and with…

NFL POWER RANKINGS

Preseason Edition For many teams and their fans, July is a month made for optimism as every team has the same record and aspirations of glory. To truly put a meaningful power ranking out in July is a little ironic as no one has stepped on the gridiron yet. We're…
