MLB Bets And NBA Bets - Who's Zooming Who?

Fantasy Baseball /

Good day from MLB Bets – NBA Bets is later in the article.

Back after a big loss of 5 units with the season total now plus 16.27. MLB Bets is still going, but it does regroup after these occasional blow-outs. If it’s not working the Bets Network doesn’t push it.

We are thankful the April win got as high and as fast as it did, so that this debacle still leaves us ahead with some room. That said, let’s try to get the winning going again.

The unit gain is calculated by using 1 unit as the base, then allowing for the odds on the lay or take. All plays valid regardless of pitching changes unless otherwise noted. All times Eastern.

San Diego (+1.50) trumps Los Angeles – 1st 5 innings + 1/2 run and full game, 9:10 pm
Chris Paddack is the hottest pitcher going in today’s slate. Let me repeat that, because I don’t think anybody heard me. Or better yet, here are his latest stats – his season ERA is 1.55 and batters are hitting .130 against him.

He is more dominant at home than away, but he’s throwing the ball so well it’s hard to argue with success. He’s won his last 3 games in a row.

Clayton Kershaw for the Dodgers is doing well in his own right for sure, but his season ERA is 3.31 compared to the 1.55 mentioned above for Paddack. The Dodgers are an excellent home team, and while that certainly is a risk with this wager, allowing half a bet on the 1st 5 innings and then the game as well should allow our better pitcher to come thru.

Caleb Smith too good to pass up at home

Miami (+1.28) over Tampa Bay, 7:10 pm
Caleb Smith is 3-0 in his last home starts beating Philadelphia, Washington and Cleveland. In those games he tossed 19 innings allowing 2 earned runs.

Not only that but the offense has come alive, at least by Marlin standards, scoring a total of 17 runs in those home games. It’s scary going with Miami against Tampa but no bet is safe. The recent past results point to Miami with Caleb Smith a must start.

Philadelphia (+1.02) subdues Milwaukee. 7:05 pm
In a battle of 2 very good pitchers MLB Bets is giving the nod to the home team. The fact that Jerad Eickhoff has a 0.56 ERA at home this season doesn’t hurt either.

Here’s another case of o great pitcher giving us a super chance of winning and at the same time not laying odds to do so. Brandon Woodruff has been pitching very well also but he only has 2 road starts and his away ERA is 4.09.

MLB Bets believes Philly deserves to be a favorite here. But since the Brew Crew is receiving 2/3 of the public bets, the oddsmaker has no choice but to lower the home team line. It hasn’t been all Milwaukee recently either.

Both teams going into last night’s game are 7-3 in their last 10 tries and Philly has climbed into first place in their division with a 14-7 home mark, while Milwaukee is 8-10 on the road. With the pitching advantage and the other intangibles the Phillies are the play for MLB Bets. The Phillies won last night as well.

Angels (+1.18) power past Minnesota, 7:40 pm
As MLB Bets readers know, the Angels are the longshot team we have in the futures for winning the American League Championship and also the World Series. The Bets Network has maintained the managerial change is very good and will give a very unexpected boost to a team with a lot of talent.

Félix Peña goes for Los Angeles. He’s 2-0 with a 3.21 ERA with 34 strikeouts along with 7 walks. His lone road appearance was 7 innings, 3 hits, no runs, 7 strikeouts and no walks.

Countering is Kyle Gibson for the Twins. He has pitched very well also, posting a 4.19 ERA with some good quality starts in there too. The Twins are a good team but the Angels are coming on, and last nights come from behind win will help them tonight.

White Sox have enough to outlast Cleveland

Chicago (+1.62) defeats the Indians again, 2:10 pm
In the lone afternoon game, a seemingly mismatched pitching formation is neutralized looking at home verses away. It makes the line on the Tribe too high.

While Manny Bañuelos has troubles for Chicago, his ERA of 6.62 at home is actually better than the 7.71 road ERA of Carlos Carrasco. Carlos has pitched very well recently but he has thrown only 1 quality start in 3 away attempts this season.

The White Sox are actually only 2 games behind Cleveland in the AL Central after last nights win. They are closer in talent than would appear so hopefully for MLB Bets they take this game at these inflated odds as well.

Chicago has won 3 in a row after narrowly missing a sweep in Toronto, losing the opening game in that series 4-3. They have a little payback due Cleveland because of a rain shortened game and they are playing with some fire.

Oakland (-1.11) continue the woes of Seattle, 10:10 pm
Seattle has played some bad baseball recently. The A’s are not in a sympathetic mood.

Oakland is hitting Seattle at the right time and have a good opportunity to take game 2 of this series after winning last night. As of this nighttime writing 2/3 of all bets are being place on the reeling Mariners.

Legitimately Oakland could easily be a 1.40 favorite here. Mike Leake for Seattle is 0-4 in his last 5 starts and his team is 0-5. He pitched well his last time out but still lost as Seattle just is not scoring much recently.

Brett Anderson for Oakland does not have a good strikeout to walk ratio but he does induce many ground balls. In his last 3 starts, 34 balls were hit on the ground compared to 13 in the air.

It would not be surprising to see Oakland start a win streak as they have been surprise contender due to sabermetrics in the recent past. Time will tell but Seattle is a good place to start.

NBA Bets – Portland At Golden State, Game 1

Blazers +8 against the Warriors, 9 pm
At this writing the line is mostly 7 1/2 with a couple of 8’s there too. Portland won a game at Golden State this season with Curry, Thompson, Durant and Green all playing.

More from FanSided

Durant had 26 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in that loss to the Blazers. With him out of this game, Portland should be able to at least keep this close if not win. NBA Bets does not see this as an easy runaway series for the Warriors.

NBA Bets was wrong in advising the Rockets in the previous series, but it still sees the Warriors as somewhat vulnerable. Before the playoffs began, NBA Bets jokingly said if 2 Golden State starters were injured maybe another team would have a chance.

Now and as long as Durant is sidelined, that has actually happened as Cousins was injured early on. Portland can be taken in the series at close to 5-1 odds.

MLB Bets Recap For Tuesday May 14th:

San Diego +1/2 a run in the 1st 5 innings and full game +1.50, half a unit each
Miami +1.28
Philadelphia +1.02
LA Angels +1.18
White Sox +1.62
Oakland -1.11
