Welcome to the Daily Dish, where we go through the MLB schedule for the day, giving you the starting pitcher matchups, and recent performance trends, and then listing some of our best bets if you choose to bet on the games. 

We had a down week for our MLB bets last week but recovered enough over the weekend to get over .500 with a 42-41 record on the week. I mentioned it in the middle of last week, but when you hit a rough patch, it’s important to look at your process to see if you’re doing anything differently or need to adjust. It’s also important to look at how much you’re betting to make sure you’re still comfortable with your margins.

  • Last 10 – Runs Allowed: SF allowed 2.9 runs on average in their last 10 games. KC allowed 5.8 runs.
  • MLB Free Pick: Pass
  • WHY?: There is just no perceived value here. The over/under is too low to really consider given the Royals’ struggles to score runs, which keeps me from taking the over. However, our model only has the Giants favored by 0.32 total runs here, which doesn’t really give me too much confidence in taking them on the moneyline given the odds. We also have two totally enigmatic starters on the mound. I’ll just pass.
