In a performance that looked like pure destiny, Tyler Reddick made NASCAR Cup Series history as the first driver to win the first three races of the season. The #45 team found their way to the pole on Saturday and executed one hell of a race to capture the checkered…
Surely you've already heard the story of the AL East: the last place Toronto Blue Jays go from worst to first in the division. Then they go all the way to the 9th inning in Game 7 of the World Series before losing a heartbreaker. Now the roster could be…
Atlanta does it again. Sunday's intense battle capped off a weekend of great racing between Trucks, O'Reilly, and the Cup Series. The result? 23XI's Tyler Reddick wins back-to-back races to start the season for just the sixth time in NASCAR history. Is the elusive Tom Emanski in sight this weekend…
It's a tradition at this point. My undervaluing the Milwaukee Brewers and this division as a whole. The Brew Crew claimed another division crown with rocking chair ease down the stretch. For better or worse, this is a division that sent three teams to the postseason with one of those…
Last week's Daytona 500 had a different feel. The hype leading up to the Great American Race plus the prospect of actually delivering a Sunday finish before the storm was a big part of it. 500 miles is a long enough race where fuel savings goes with the territory; an…
Last year's NL East race turned into a runaway when the New York Mets hit their well documented second half collapse. Philadelphia's half-game lead at the All-Star Break steadily grew as the Metropolitans ultimately yielded their wild card berth to the Cincinnati Reds, possibly sparing themselves from a postseason defeat…
We've waited a long four months since Kyle Larson was crowned the 2025 Cup Series Champion. Now the time has finally come for NASCAR's first points-paying race and the official start to the 2026 season. Daytona Speedweeks features qualifying this evening and the Duels on Thursday to set the starting…
What an insane finish to the AL Central race between a hard-charging Guardians squad and the leaking oil down the freeway Tigers. This well-documented reversal of fortune began on July 9th as Detroit steadily relinquished a 15.5 game lead over Cleveland. Even more wild is how the Tigers' lead was…

The MLB Morning Breakdown returns after a brief hiatus while on the road, just in time for next week's All-Star Break. Volume is down on my end as my handicapping aligns with the market too frequently these days. This annual slowdown has prompted a big push on my player prop…
Back to the normal mid-week spot for this week's Breakdown although the rare weekend handicap actually came through without much sweat. The first five inning route was slightly less profitable than going with the full game though. Regardless, the MLB Morning Breakdown for 6-25-2025 heads west to Petco Park for…
A rare weekend post is on deck as summer is officially upon us. It's long overdue - as is a featured handicap winner. So let's get right to the point with a solo shot in the MLB Morning Breakdown for 6-21-2025. BOL to your action this weekend... MILWAUKEE BREWERS @…
Good to be back in the saddle after a great trip to BetCrushers HQ last week that was not without some unplanned excitement. The first two days of this week have been the epitome of choppy with a 2-2-1 record worth +0.02 units. There are some promising spots on the…
Only few days into June and it feels like this season is flying by. Some teams are on the verge of checking out; others finding their stride and making hay. This week's feature involves a pair of teams in an in-between state of affairs who delivered a wild one in…
One-third of the MLB season is in the books and there aren't a ton of secrets left. Ronald Acuna Jr. is back and as good as ever, Ohtani continues to mash, and Zach Wheeler still delivers elite consistency at the head of a stocked Philadelphia rotation. Some things are close…
There's no shortage of story lines across the MLB landscape as we near two months into the 2025 season. Managers have been ousted, long winning and losing streaks come and gone, and several teams have begun to pull away from their division foes - for now, at least. Handicapping and…
I've slacked lately with getting handicaps out and definitely regret not having the time yesterday morning to break down a pair of really good pitching matchups out West. And, no, my absence has nothing to do with being on the wrong side of San Francisco's "historic" 11th inning last Tuesday.…
We left off last Tuesday with a Nats-Phillies divisional tilt that concluded with two 9th inning comebacks. Fortunately there was next to no drama at Citi Field where the -1 run line got there early. In other good news, Mother Nature appears to be accommodating in the east where wet…
This week's fresh slate of series features nine divisional showdowns and a couple top starting pitcher matchups. We'll pass on the Webb/Pivetta pairing in San Diego but dive into a good one in Philadelphia for our featured handicap. It's a great place to start off the MLB Morning Breakdown for…
Yesterday's featured handicap between NL East leaders was as good as advertised with both Christopher Sanchez and Griffin Canning working out of early jams before the Mets broke it open late once again. Today's feature pits a pair of aces in the third of a four-game set in San Francisco…
The MLB Morning Breakdown for 4-22-2025 returns after getting back into the groove of non-vacation life. I kept the handicapping wheels in motion while spending a week in San Diego. Now I'm caught up with everything after the Easter holiday and a hectic Monday. Time to hop back into the…
Monday's solo shot in the desert was, in fact, fruitful despite my hesitation. Gunnar Henderson's 2-for-5 evening with a pair of runs and stolen bases may have knocked the rust off of the O's shortstop. His contribution led to a much-needed win for Baltimore, especially after last night's close loss.…
Rain stuck around a little longer than expected Saturday in Boston, postponing our feature and creating a Sunday doubleheader that pushed the Red Sox into second place in the AL East. The MLB Morning Breakdown for 4-7-2025 heads to the desert where the last place Orioles and .500 Diamondbacks look…
First off, apologies for no Friday post as advertised. We got hammered by a strong storm overnight and I got tied up with cleanup before getting on with the day. Tuesday's all-day affair on the diamonds produced mixed results on my end as totals were enigmatic with strong winds abound.…
Gotta give it to the Cincinnati Reds for punishing every mistake that Kumar Rocker and the Texas Rangers made Monday night. Elly himself busted the under 9 wager that was doomed from the start. Props to Brady Singer for his incredible outing - poise and great movement on his pitches…
New series kick off across the MLB including 8 interleague battles. We left off Saturday with a first 5 inning position in Miami that caught the inevitable push with two uninspiring offenses at work. A "mini opening day" starts in a few hours with several mid-afternoon games and a full…
For better or worse, late inning drama was everywhere on Opening Day. It was certainly instrumental in getting the two positions in our post to the pay window. The over in Kansas City was all but shriveled up on the vine until the 8th run came across in the final…
Last week's two-game Tokyo Series appetizer course is over and done with. Now the 2025 Opening Day buffet is well within sight with 14 games served up. Colorado/Tampa Bay kicks off their seasons Friday. ICYMI, the Rays are playing their games at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa this season…
Hungry for the MLB season to get started? How about an appetizer to hold you over? With just over one week until the official Opening Day, we get the 2025 Tokyo Series two-game set between the Chicago Cubs and World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers. The series spans Tuesday, March…
For a few months anyhow, the Seattle Mariners looked to be the cream of the AL West crop. Then things went sideways. Trust the Houston Astros to take advantage of the stumble and push their way back to a seventh division crown in the last eight seasons. No thanks to…
What a change of fortunes within the AL East last year. The Yankees and Rays all but swapped their positions in the AL East pecking order. The Orioles kept their eyes on the postseason prize while the floor dropped out from beneath the Jays. And the Red Sox, well, they're…
The NL Central typically has the feel of an "up for grabs" division except in reality it's been a two-horse race - at best - since the shortened 2020 season. Milwaukee stands as the cream of the crop the last couple years, though the Cubs have positioned themselves well into…
Breaking down the early odds of the winner for Super Bowl LIX.
The Dodgers' stranglehold on the NL West continued with an eleventh division title in the last twelve seasons. This time, however, the big payoff came to fruition. After two postseason runs stopped dead in their tracks by division foes, Los Angeles fought through a feisty Padres squad and the OMG…
If the final month of last year's race is any indication of what's in store, the NL East is going to be one of the better showdowns in the MLB. Philadelphia, New York, and Atlanta stand at the head of the class with odds to win the division at 2/1…
Infamously known for a lack of widespread playoff-caliber competition, the AL Central turned out to have one of the better divisional races of the 2024 season. Cleveland held firm as one of the more consistent teams while Chicago broke records with their "performance". For anyone paying attention to the MLB…

The dice weren't the only things shaking in the Southern Nevada desert last weekend! Tyler Reddick's ill-fated pass on the outside separated the field of 8 Cup Series Champion contenders into a clean 4 vs. 4 break around the cut line. A 27-point gap between fourth place William Byron and…

The Roval reconfiguration will be debated for quite a while. It was a contest in which drivers were challenged to pass one another - not great. But it was the post-race news that has the most impact. We're leaving the controversy to social media and looking ahead to the 2024…

The jury is definitely out on the Bristol Night Race as a racing product. When it comes to playoff positioning, however, Kyle Larson stole the show and reinforced his top dog status as the 2024 Round of 12 opens. But for four teams, the results were less than favorable. And…
