The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2022-10-05Don't bet MLB Wild Card series prices! The series price odds are rarely favorable and you are always better off betting game to game

The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2022-10-06Tread lightly laying 1.5 runs on MLB postseason Run Line wagers, as games tend to be very tight
Follow the MoneyMLB2022-10-06Always shop around for the best number. Guardians to win the series anywhere from -110 to -130 at different sportsbooks

VSiN Big BetsMLB2022-11-04If still looking for a live long shot in the World Series MVP market, consider Framber Valdez who will start tomorrow night

The Lombardi LineMLB2022-12-09Pay attention to the offseason moves in baseball, futures prices are changing. As teams build their roster through free agency and trades, monitor the futures markets.
VSiN PrimeTimeMLB2022-12-21You should not be betting World Series futures on favorites this early for the 2023 season, you will definitely get better odds at some point during the regular season.

A Numbers GameMLB2023-03-02Keep Jordan Walker in mind for NL Rookie Of The Year. He might not start the season with the Cardinals but has a huge upside this season.
Sharp MoneyMLB2023-03-03There is value betting the Run Line on great teams when they are big Moneyline favorites. For example, the Dodgers in 2022 covered the RL 86% of the time.

The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-03-26Shade down MLB totals early in the season in cold weather outdoor ballparks in the Midwest and Northeast. Balls do not travel as far in cold weather.

The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-03-28When betting MLB, keep in mind ROI for bets and not winning percentage.
Sharp MoneyMLB2023-03-28Note for betting Run Lines: 75% of games finish two runs or more. The underdog wins outright about 40% of one-run games. And in RL betting, you can find spots to get plus money on your bet
A Numbers GameMLB2023-03-28They may have let people down before in the past, but the Angels still have two of the best players in baseball and should be considered in the AL West race.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-03-29Do not overreact or underreact to 1 or 2 days of MLB results. It is a 162-game regular season.
VSiN TonightMLB2023-03-29You don’t have to rush into betting MLB baseball daily. Allow yourself some time to watch and gather betting data before jumping into the daily grind. It’s also ok to take a step back during the season to reset.
Sharp MoneyMLB2023-03-29Scott Spreitzer: No longer plays 9-inning totals. All of his Under bets will be on First 5 inning bets. Too many factors led by the Extra Innings baserunner can mess up an Under bet.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-03-30Handicap bullpen use from the previous day and look at which ones are fresh.
VSiN TonightMLB2023-03-30It’s early in the MLB season, so try to be mindful that there’s going to be some load management for some starting pitchers and it may be more valuable to bet the under on some strikeout props.
VSiN PrimeTimeMLB2023-03-30Do not over extend your bankroll in the first month of the MLB season, there are many variables with the new rules so it is worth waiting until you see how things play out.
Sharp MoneyMLB2023-03-30Be careful betting Over on Team Totals on big home favorites. You miss out on 3 at-bats if they are winning in the 9th (11% of at-bats)
The Lombardi LineMLB2023-03-30Look at first 5 inning UNDERs and full game OVERs because of the rule adjustments and ghost runners in extras innings.

Follow the MoneyMLB2023-03-30With early season baseball back, pay attention to weather forecasts. For example, today's Red Sox-Orioles game in Boston has high winds and low temperatures predicted, lean under.

Follow the MoneyMLB2023-03-31Stolen base numbers will increase rapidly this year. If you have the ability to bet live in-game during at-bats, watch for the two throw-over limit and the stolen base chances will increase.
Live Bet SaturdayMLB2023-04-01With the rules changes many people believe the total runs in games will go over, but it might be advantageous to look to betting unders early in the season.
Live Bet SaturdayMLB2023-04-01With a new season starting. Early in the season try to bet half units until you get more comfortable with the teams.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-04-02Something to watch is guys a full year removed returning from a catastrophic injury. For position players a torn ACL or something of this nature, Tommy John surgery. Players like Mike Clevinger and Noah Syndergaard looked much better in their first starts of the season after lackluster 2022 seasons coming back from injury.
The HandleMLB2023-04-02In 2023, there have been 56 stolen base attempts through first 3 days of the season - thats up from 26 in 2022. Keep an eye on how this affects run scoring, strikeouts and other props.
Follow the MoneyMLB2023-04-03Watch for the Red Sox and Orioles to be teams hitting the over this season. Electric offenses and poor bullpens add up to a lot of runs. If you can get the number below 10 it's great value.
VSiN PrimeTimeMLB2023-04-04Do not be afraid to bet unders on low totals when elite pitchers take the mound.
Sharp MoneyMLB2023-04-04Adam Burke: Launch angle is down, there is more contact. The more balls in play should lead to more runs despite less HRs. However, elite pitchers who rack up strikeouts still can control outcomes.
Follow the MoneyMLB2023-04-05Since the 2020 season, if you bet against Patrick Corbin (WSH) every start, you would be 52-21 (71%).
The Lombardi LineMLB2023-04-06If you're going to bet the run-line in the MLB, betting -1.5 on a road team maximizes your chances to cover since they'll always get 9 innings at-bat - no matter the score.
Sharp MoneyMLB2023-04-07Mike Somich: Avoid laying 1.5 runs on home teams because if they are winning they will get one less at bat than the losing visitors
VSiN PrimeTimeMLB2023-04-10Do not be afraid to back a bad team in the first 5 innings at +money when they are starting an ace pitcher.
VSiN PrimeTimeMLB2023-04-11Look at team's bullpen usage over the last several days before making a full game wager.
Sharp MoneyMLB2023-04-12Scott Spreitzer: Values wRC+ and wOBA when starting his handicap on games. Top 5 wRC+ teams are 31-14 this season.
Sharp MoneyMLB2023-04-12Be careful betting overs in Toronto this year. The new dimensions have made Rogers Centre an even bigger hitter's ballpark
VSiN PrimeTimeMLB2023-04-14It is usually best to bet with a streak as opposed to against it.
A Numbers GameMLB2023-04-14There are great stat websites to use for betting throughout the baseball season, but make sure you keep sample size in mind. It is way too early in the season to really be leaning on that type of info right now.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-04-17Look for MLB totals to go up over the next few weeks as there are not enough quality starting pitchers to go around.
VSiN PrimeTimeMLB2023-04-17Fade bad bullpens in MLB by taking the opponent's full game run line.
VSiN PrimeTimeMLB2023-04-21When betting on the Nationals, they have been on a streak of unders. Until they get the bats woken up look to bet the total under.
Live Bet SaturdayMLB2023-04-22When betting NRFI's and YRFI's try to place more value in the away pitcher as they are the closer of the inning and possess more value than the home starter.
Live Bet SundayMLB2023-04-23When looking at betting first 5's make sure to look at how the relievers perform in their last start.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-04-24Bet MLB teams on winning streaks overnight before they inevitably get steamed.
VSiN PrimeTimeMLB2023-04-24Do not be afraid to lay some juice on MLB favorites, they are hitting at 63% on the season... the juice is worth the squeeze!
Sharp MoneyMLB2023-04-25Amal Shah: Look for bounce-back opportunities on teams that lose to lesser opponents the day before. Like the Angels today vs Oakland
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-04-27Be mindful of upcoming MLB games that are taking place on a neutral field (i.e. Padres/Giants in Mexico City)
Live Bet SundayMLB2023-04-30Try not to bet run lines and over totals on the home team as they are not guaranteed to have an at-bat in the 9th inning.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-05-01Look at pitchers coming off an extra day of rest or a rain out, as starting pitchers tend not to do well when they pitch out of rotation.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-05-02When betting on MLB Totals, when west coast teams play in the day look to the over, and when they play at night look to the under as the ball tends to die.
Sunday Bet PrepMLB2023-05-06Monitor the potential of wind before betting totals at certain ballparks like Wrigley Field.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-05-07Look beyond ERA when handicapping MLB pitchers. Certain metrics (fly ball rate) can indicate potential regression.
Sharp MoneyMLB2023-05-09Adam Burke: Keep track of bullpen usage when betting games. Shy away from overused bullpens by betting the First 5 if you like the pitcher and number.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-05-10Remove MLB games played in unusual locations (London, Mexico City) from your data set.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-05-14Consider fading MLB teams on Mondays that play on Sunday Night Baseball and have to travel. (i.e. the Cardinals)
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-05-15When trying to handicap pitchers, look at FIP and if you see it going up or down, your pitcher might be due for regression.
A Numbers GameMLB2023-05-17Keep sample sizes in mind when evaluating early returns on MLB betting. Some may be more predictive while others there’s just not enough data to back it up yet.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-05-18When an MLB pitcher makes his debut, consider which minor league he pitched in as a part of your handicap. For example, the PCL is terrible for pitchers.
Sharp MoneyMLB2023-05-19Past game logs don't tell the full story when looking at MLB bets. You have to look at some of the advanced analytics to paint a clearer picture of what they have done and what to expect from their matchup
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-05-21If you're looking to bet full MLB games, look at both a pitcher's full-season & past 30-day ERA before placing your bet.
The HandleMLB2023-05-21When betting baseball live, pay attention to the bullpens. If it’s a close game, bet on the team with the better bullpen. Some of the worst bullpens: A’s, White Sox, Giants.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-05-22DraftKings often offers openers for baseball games more than a full day in advance. If you have a good feel for a projected starting pitching matchup, there can often time be value in these early openers.
Sharp MoneyMLB2023-05-22Fezzik: Bets like the Cardinals +250 erode to good bets at +225 and marginal ones at +200 hours later. Don't jump in too late when it loses significant value.
Sharp MoneyMLB2023-05-24Scott Spreitzer: An angle to look for is MLB teams on a getaway day, looking for their first win in a series when they are favorites
Follow the MoneyMLB2023-05-24After the Blue Jays destroyed the Rays 20-1 last night, look to take Tampa today. Favorites off a 15+ run loss are 29-16 (64%), 15% ROI since 2005.
The Lombardi LineMLB2023-05-25A good way to back heavy favorites in the MLB without laying a big price is pairing F5 with a full-game bet. Bad teams typically don't come back in the later innings.
VSiN PrimeTimeMLB2023-05-26Look to fade teams coming off big series wins.
The HandleMLB2023-05-27If you'd like to bet on an under .500 MLB team to make the postseason in a bad division (ie White Sox), avoid the make / miss playoffs odds and focus on division odds.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-05-29When evaluating splits in baseball, try to use the biggest & longest sample size possible, just because a pitcher has demonstrative home & road splits in 2023 doesn't mean it should be used if that hasn't been the case for their career.
Sharp MoneyMLB2023-05-30Look for regression candidates to bet against when you can get good numbers. For example, Byrce Elder has good basic stats but analytics indicate that he has been lucky getting out of jams.
Sharp MoneyMLB2023-06-02Always factor in how an offense does vs the handed pitcher they are facing into your handicap
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-06-04Never put too much emphasis on one position player getting a day of rest in baseball. If multiple players are out, it's a different story, but typically when a line moves more than 20 cents for any position player being out, it is an overreaction.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-06-05Don't be afraid to make a bet that a lot of people are talking about. Just because something like fading the Oakland A's is something most people are doing, doesn't mean it needs to be avoided as long as it keeps cashing.
A Numbers GameMLB2023-06-06If you’re looking for a fun long-shot play in the NL MVP market, consider Luis Arraez at 75/1. He currently leads all of baseball in batting average.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-06-08Consider teams that are playing 1-run games or avoiding 1-run games and bet the run line accordingly.
The HandleMLB2023-06-10First 5’s can be a much safer way to bet baseball than the full game moneylines. It allows you to cut out the bullpen and just handicap the starters.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-06-18When considering MLB Futures look for teams that are going to be buyers at the trade deadline.
Follow the MoneyMLB2023-06-19Jordan Lyles (KC) is 0-14 this year in his starts, he faces the Tigers today. This may be one of the last opportunities for him as a starter, keep that in mind if you want to get in on fading him.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-06-21When betting on MLB totals in ballparks like Wrigley Field and Citizens Bank Park, consider the wind forecast.
The Greg Peterson ExperienceMLB2023-06-22When teams in any sport play in a foreign environment, research any history from past games played there. This weekend the Cubs and Cardinals play in London, the only other series played there was Yankees vs Red Sox in 2019, there were a combined 50 runs in that two-game series.
