Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Kyle Gibson, Minnesota Twins (1-0, 0.00 ERA, $100)

Kyle Gibson of the Twins had an electric start to the 2018 season when he no-hit the Orioles over six innings, only to see his potential shared no-hitter die in the at the hands of reliever Ryan Pressly. I guess starting the season with a no-hit performance qualifies him for the Streaking Starter section.

Let's see if Gibson can keep his run going today when he takes on the Seattle Mariners. Gibby and the Twinkies are slight home dogs at +100 against James Paxton and the M's.

Slumping: Tyler Anderson, Colorado Rockies (0-0, 27.00 ERA, $-100)

Tyler Anderson's first start of the season was certainly not his best work. The Rockies' 28-year-old lefty was shelled for seven earned runs, five hits, and allowed four walks over 2.1 innings of work at Chase Field against the Arizona Diamondbacks in an eventual 9-8 loss (no decision for him).

This is not the Tyler Anderson the Rockies are expecting. With their starting rotation being so young, they will need everyone to step up and duplicate their efforts from 2017 in order to have any chance of returning to the post season.

Anderson gets a bit of a cushy start today against starting pitcher Joey Lucchesi and the struggling San Diego Padres. The Rox are slight favorites at -115 and the total is set at 7.5.

Thursday's Top Trends

* Red Sox are 11-2 in their last 13 home openers. -250 today vs. Rays.
* Rangers are 1-10 in the last 11 meetings in Oakland. +130 today @ A's.
* Twins are 10-1 in Kyle Gibson's last 11 starts. +100 today vs. Mariners.
* Over is 14-2 in the last 16 meetings between the Orioles and Yankees in New York. BAL/NYY total: 9.
* Under is 6-0 in Adam Wainwright's last six home starts vs. Diamondbacks. STL/ARI total: 7.5.
* Cubs are 1-11 in their last 12 road games vs. a left-handed starter. -120 today @ Brewers (Suter).

Weather Watch

As mentioned in the Double-Play Picks section above, the forecast is calling for 15-20 mile per hour winds blowing out to right-center this evening at Yankee Stadium where the Yanks will be hosting the Orioles. The total is set at 9.

The only precipitation in the MLB forecast today is a possibility of SNOW at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago where the White Sox will be taking on the Detroit Tigers. It's going to be a miserable afternoon at the ballpark with temperatures in the low 30's and a 12-15 mile per hour cross wind. The Sox are -130 favorites and the total is set at 9.

Ump of the Day

Mike Estabrook will be making his 2018 home plate debut in today's game at Petco Park between the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres. Estabrook likes to call strikes (strike rate of 64.37 percent in 2017 and 65.12 percent in 2016) so that is great news for starting pitchers Tyler Anderson and Joey Lucchesi. More strikes means less runs and Estabrook owns an Under record of 34-18 (65.38 percent) over those that two seasons.

The total today in San Diego is set at 7.5.

The Complete Game: What we learned from betting MLB Opening Week
Rob Hansen

Shohei Ohtani owns a slash line of .429 AVG/.857 SLG/2 HRs/5 RBI and an offensive WAR of 1.0 after only 14 at bats.

I don't know how you West Coasters do it every day.

I spent the opening week of the 2018 MLB season in sunny Las Vegas. With our World Headquarters being located on the East Coast, everything was coming at me four hours earlier than I was used to in the Pacific time zone, and it took a few days to adjust to the fact that games were dropping off betting boards at 8:30 or 9 a.m.

Humans are creatures of habit, and it took some tweaking of my personal schedule: handicapping at night rather than over coffee in the morning and hitting the sportsbook bright and early. I'm not at all a morning person and Vegas can certainly catch up with you, so I'd be lying if I told you I didn't miss a few early games.

Overall, it was a great week. I came out on the positive side in my baseball wagers (we won't discuss basketball here) and got to visit 13 different sportsbooks on or near the Las Vegas Strip.

Week in review

The biggest story of the opening week was an easy selection. Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels was certainly a cause for concern coming into the season following a dreadful spring, but he put all of those questions to rest with a solid six innings of work in his first major league start, picking up the win in a 7-4 Angels victory over the Oakland Athletics. His stuff was explosive and he certainly converted some critics.

And when it came to the questions regarding the offensive side of Ohtani's game, he promptly shut those doubters down by hitting big flies in back-to-back games Tuesday and Wednesday. As of Thursday morning, Ohtani owns a slash line of .429 BA/.857 SLG/2 HRs/5 RBI and an offensive WAR of 1.0 after only 14 at-bats.

That's a decent first week on the job. New York Yankees fans can boo Giancarlo Stanton until their throats explode, the Houston Astros can continue to suck at banner ceremonies, and Gabe Kapler can continue to gift wrap potential Philadelphia Phillies victories away to his opponents. But the sports world won't even notice these other events if Ohtani continues to redefine everything we used to know about modern baseball.

What to watch for this weekend

The Pittsburgh Pirates were the last-surviving unbeaten MLB team until they dropped a 7-3 decision to the Minnesota Twins Wednesday. The Buccos will continue their soft early-season schedule with a four-game home series against the Cincinnati Reds this weekend. The Pirates, remarkably, should be small favorites in all four games and I expect they'll take, at least, three of the four contests with the highlight of the weekend coming Sunday afternoon with Jameson Taillon dueling Tyler Mahle in a battle of young guns. There's a slide coming but it likely won't begin until early next week at Wrigley Field.

Much like the Pirates' regression to the mean starting after this weekend, we can expect similar (but opposite) results from the Los Angeles Dodgers. The defending National League champs are the worst money team in baseball after the opening week at -6.61 units ($661 if you wagered $100 on each game) and have a three-game series against the Giants in San Francisco this weekend, with Derek Holland, Chris Stratton, and Ty Blach scheduled as the opposing starting pitchers. It took the Dodgers three games into the season to score their first run and they're averaging only 3.67 runs per game over their first six contests. The Dodgers should take, at least, two out of three from the Giants but keep an eye on the totals as both teams are struggling to score runs. It could be an Under-fest in the Bay Area.

Umpire of the Week

Each week during the season, we'll take a look at one MLB umpire and dig into his numbers in order to help you make better decisions when placing your wagers. This week our umpire profile is Jerry Layne.

Layne has officiated two games from behind the plate thus far in 2018 and he carries with him a home win/loss record of 2-0 and an Over/Under count of 2-0. While I don't put a whole lot of stock into an umpire's bias toward the home team, an umpire's Over/Under record is a legitimate handicapping tool. I never place a baseball totals wager without first checking the weather/wind direction as well as who's calling balls and strikes.

Layne is one of those guys known to make pitchers work harder for each and every out. During his two games wearing pads this season, he owns a very low strike percentage of 61.91, has seen an average of 16 runs per game cross his plate, and has circled his finger for 4.5 home runs an outing.

Keep an eye out for Layne's next home plate assignment by checking out our in-depth matchup pages every day.

Three-year, late-season Under trend a boom for NBA bettors
Ashton Grewal

The Sacramento Kings are running out the corpse of Vince Carter in their starting lineup. The lack of offensive talent on the floor late in the season could be one reason for all the Unders in the league.

It takes a special type of sports bettor to wager on NFL games in August and a dedicated NBA fan to bet on pro hoops in late March and early April. But just like NFL preseason, there are opportunities to exploit the books even with unpredictable lineups and team motivation.

The Under is 33-25 in NBA games over the last eight days and it's not an isolated incident. The Under is 494-423-26 in March and April games since 2016. There are a few reasons for the three-year trend.

The schedule this time of year is a little more condensed with heavier doses of teams playing on back-to-back nights. Nine of the 12 teams in action on Wednesday had played the previous night.

The New Orleans Pelicans had a stretch last month when they played five games in six nights. The Under is 4-0 in their games since completing that congested portion of their sked. It’s a long season and a crappy time to pile playing days on the tired legs of the players.

This is also a time when you see more bench warmers and fringe players see heavier floor time. Teams like the Houston Rockets have nothing left to play for and lottery-bound sides are looking to improve their odds with additional losses.

We all remember the Mark Madsen game back in 2006. Giving the green light to shoot to a big man who can't isn't going to help an offense. Teams are finding new ways to decrease their chances of winning in the new collective bargaining agreement according to Dunc’d On podcast host Nate Duncan.

It makes sense than that fewer points will be scored in games with G-League level talent. Check out the crunch-time lineups the Dallas Mavericks and Orlando Magic used on Wednesday night.

So we know the reasons games are going Under the total late in the NBA regular season. Now let’s take a look at the best Under bets in the league right now. All Over/Under records are since the beginning March 1st.

Indiana Pacers

Over/Under: 4-13

The Pacers, somewhat ironically, are playing with the slowest tempo in the league over the last 15 games. They’re offensive ranks 20th in the league and they like to shoot a lot of long 2-pointers instead of a couples steps back behind the arc. They attempted the second fewest triples per game last month.

Sacramento Kings

Over/Under: 5-13

The Kings were competing with the Cavaliers for the worst defense in the league for much of the first half of the season, but things have improved. Sacramento’s defense ranked 17th in the Association in March and is allowing 106.7 points per 100 possessions in the last 15 games.

Sac-Town doesn’t have to do anything special to trot out Washington General-level of hoopers. The Kings started 41-year-old Vince Carter on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns.

Orlando Magic

Over/Under: 5-12

The Magic were averaging 105.5 points per game before the All-Star break and 98.8 since. Over the last 15 games, they’re averaging a league-worst 95.2 points per game. The problem with Orlando is that its best player Aaron Gordon is like Shawn Marion. Both great athletes but best suited to be paired with a skilled point guard to get the best out of them. Gordon doesn’t have that in D.J. Augustin.
