MLB Odds

The 2017 Major League Baseball season kicks off on Sunday and we’ll tackle it with daily articles, much like we’re doing with the NBA totals. While we have four different NBA methods for totals, and then run those through a Points Per Possession routine if they all agree, we’ll use one basic math-based system for baseball. It’s one that I wrote a few years back and is based on one Jim Jasper created and featured in his book, “Sports Betting: A Computer Expert’s Winning Secrets For Baseball and Football.”

The premise of the system is rather simple. You take each team’s scoring average and compare it to their league average to come up with a percentage. If the average number of runs scored by National League teams is 4.2 and the Pirates are scoring 4.0 runs per game, you have 4.0 divided by 4.2, which equals .952. If the Cubs are averaging 4.5 runs per game, you have 4.5 divided by 4.2, which equals 1.071. Those will be the offense numbers.

Defense, obviously, is going to change depending on who the pitcher is. ERA has proven to be a somewhat questionable statistic, so we’ll simply use the average number of runs allowed each time a particular pitcher takes the mound. Using the Mets’ Seth Lugo as an example, he had an ERA of 2.67, but he allowed an average of 4.25 runs per start. That includes the bullpen and unearned runs. Using our numbers above, we’d expect the Pirates to score 4.05 runs against the Mets with Lugo starting, which is .952 times 4.25 equals 4.05. The Cubs would be expected to score 4.55 runs, which makes sense, as they are averaging a half-run per game more than the Pirates.

Then the run difference is turned into a moneyline price by dividing the difference by .5 and then making an addition for home field.

One surprising aspect was that the American League is really no longer a much higher-scoring league than the National League. In 2016, the average number of runs scored by NL teams was 4.43, while the AL wasn’t much more at 4.51 runs per game. In 2013 for example, AL teams scored 4.32 runs per game compared to 4.0 for NL teams.

We’ll begin with last year’s stats, which are always a bit tricky, and work current stats into the equation and also account for the scoring difference teams have with right-handed starters compared to left-handed starters. Once we have some games under our belt, we can tinker around with park adjustments for totals and other things.

It should definitely be fun.

<p>We have six games on tap in the NHL on Monday, April 18, including this inter-conference tilt at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Make sure you don’t miss out on the best Devils vs. Golden Knights betting pick with the latest odds update on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bovada/">Bovada Sportsbook</a><a></a>.</p>



<p>These inter-conference rivals have met once this season, and Vegas won 5-3 in Newark. The Golden Knights are massive -320 favorites in this one, while the total is set at 6 goals.</p>



<h2>Devils fell short to the Kraken in Seattle</h2>



<p>The New Jersey Devils will conclude their five-game road trip with this game in Vegas. They opened it with a pair of wins but then lost to the Colorado Avalanche and Seattle Kraken. At least, they managed to take one point from those two defeats as the Devils fell short to the Kraken after the shootout.</p>



<p>New Jersey had a 2-1 lead after the first period but forced overtime through Damon Severson in the final period. Ryan Donato scored the only goal in the shootout, while all three Devils (Tatar, Bratt, and YegorSharangovich) missed.</p>



<p>Nico Daws, who has been impressive of late, will guard the cage against the Knights on Monday. The 22-year-old rookie has a 10-11-0-1 record with a 3.11 GAA, 0.893 SV%, and no shutouts. He will face Vegas for the first time in his career.</p>



<h2>Golden Knights are in a hot and cold form right now</h2>



<p>After five consecutive wins to close the previous and open the current month, the Vegas Golden Knights have been quite inconsistent. They won only two of the previous five games, losing twice to a direct playoff rival Vancouver, and now the Knights must beat the Devils if they want to stay alive in the playoff race.</p>



<p>Vegas even failed to score in the most recent 4-0 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. Despite having three shots more than the Oilers (39-36), the Knights couldn’t score against Mike Smith. With this loss, Vegas concluded its three-game road trip and now will open a three-game homestead on Monday.</p>



<p>For the third game in a row, Logan Thompson will start at the goal for the Knights. The 25-year-old has an 8-5-0-0 record with a 2.55 GAA, 0.922 SV%, and one shutout. Thompson never faced the Devils before.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>New Jersey:</strong></p>



<ul><li>2-7 in the last nine games overall</li><li>2-11 in the last 13 games on the road</li><li>1-4 in the last five games against Vegas</li></ul>



<p><strong>Vegas:</strong></p>



<ul><li>7-3 in the last ten games overall</li><li>6-1 in the last seven games at home</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-new-jersey-devils-vs-vegas-golden-knights-pick">New Jersey Devils vs. Vegas Golden Knights Pick</h2>



<p>The Golden Knights are in 9th position in the Western Conference with 87 points, three behind the Los Angeles Kings but with a game in hand. That’s why it’s extremely important for Vegas to get two points here and come close to just one point from the Kings.</p>



<p>The Golden Knights are facing the worst road team in the NHL, and if they fail to record a victory on Monday, then they don’t deserve to be in the playoffs. The Devils will be relaxed and without an imperative to win here, which can be dangerous for the hosts. However, I still think Vegas will win and stay in the playoff race.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Golden Knights AH -1.5 at -120</p>



<p><strong>The Total</strong></p>



<p>New Jersey’s games have been very entertaining this season; the Devils have a 43-29-3 O/U record, and I expect to see another high-scoring affair here. Both Daws and Thompson are young and inexperienced goaltenders, and despite the latter having excellent numbers, we can’t judge from a small sample as he played just 13 games this season.</p>



<p>The total has gone Over in 11 of New Jersey's last 16 games, while the total went Over in five of the Devils’ previous seven games against an opponent in the Western Conference. The total has gone Over in four of Vegas' last five games.<strong>Pick:</strong> Go with Over 6 goals at -120</p>

<p>The 2021 American League Championship Series starts Friday, October 15, at Minute Maid Park in Houston, so we have prepared the best Red Sox vs. Astros betting pick and odds for Game 1 with the first pitch at 8:07 PM ET.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Astros opened at -155 to win this best-of-seven series, while the Red Sox sit at +135 on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>. Houston is a -135 moneyline fave for the opening clash at home, and the totals are listed at 8.0 runs.</p>



<h2><strong>The Sawx aim for another upset&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>Rarely who expected the Boston Red Sox to make it to the postseason, but they did it by winning 92 games and earning the top wild card in the American League. After a convincing 6-2 victory over the New York Yankees in the wild-card game, the Sawx pulled off a huge upset and eliminated the reigning AL champions, the Tampa Bay Rays, in the ALDS in four games.</p>



<p>Through their five outings in the postseason, the Red Sox have scored 32 runs on an excellent .328/.372/.547 batting line. They’ve smacked 63 hits and a whopping 11 home runs in the process, while Boston’s pitching staff has compiled a 4.13 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and a .207 batting average against.</p>



<p>Chris Sale will get the starting call Friday, and the 32-year-old southpaw is 5-3 with a 2.20 ERA in nine career starts against Houston. He hasn’t met the Astros since 2019, and in four starts and 27 innings of work at Minute Maid Park, Chris has allowed 15 runs (ten earned) on 21 hits and five walks.</p>



<p>Sale returned from Tommy John surgery in August and started nine times this past regular season. He was 5-1 with a 3.16 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and a 52/12 K/BB ratio across 42.2 frames of work.</p>



<h2><strong>The Astros made it to their fifth straight ALCS&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>Many have routed against the Houston Astros because of their signal-stealing scandal, but Dusty Baker’s boys won the AL West and made it to the postseason once more. This will be their fifth consecutive ALCS appearance which is quite an accomplishment.</p>



<p>The Astros beat the Chicago White Sox in the 2021 ALDS in four games. After a 12-6 defeat in Game 3, Houston stepped up and trounced the ChiSox 10-1 as a slight road fave in Game 4. Throughout the White Sox series, the Astros have scored 31 runs on a .288/.371/.432 batting line while registering a 4.63 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, and a .291 batting average against.</p>



<p>Framber Valdez will get the nod Friday, and the 27-year-old left-hander is 2-1 with a 1.59 ERA in a couple of career starts and relief appearances against the Red Sox. He’s met Boston twice this past regular season and has emerged victorious on both occasions, allowing only two earned runs across 14.1 innings of work.</p>



<p>Valdez has gone 11-6 with a 3.14 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 22 starts in 2021. Over his last five regular-season outings, Framber has recorded a 3.94 ERA and 4.99 FIP through 29.2 innings of work.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Boston:</strong></p>



<ul><li>7-1 in the last eight games overall</li><li>4-1 in the last five games on the road&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Houston:</strong></p>



<ul><li>N/A</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-boston-red-sox-vs-houston-astros-pick"><strong>Boston Red Sox vs. Houston Astros Pick</strong></h2>



<p>Both Chris Sale and Framber Valdez have had a rough time this postseason, so picking the winner in this one seems like a tough job. Sale got pounded in Game 2 of the ALDS, allowing five earned runs while getting just three outs, though the Red Sox eventually smashed Tampa Bay 14-6. On the other side, Valdez pitched 4.1 frames in a 9-4 win to the White Sox in Game 2. He yielded four earned runs on seven hits and a walk.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Astros outlasted the Sawx 5-2 in their 2021 regular-season series. Both teams have mashed the ball through the division series, especially the Red Sox, so I’ll take my chances with the red-hot Boston offense.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Boston Red Sox at +125&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>Six of Houston’s last seven games went in the over, as well as four of Boston’s previous six. I’ve mentioned how good they were offensively in the ALDS, so give me the over on the totals.</p>



<p>Framber Valdez hasn’t been at his best lately, while the Astros bullpen has recorded a poor 4.15 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and a .278 batting average against in four games against the White Sox. On the other side, the Red Sox bullpen has a sharp 3.00 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and a .194 batting average against this postseason, but it will have a tall task to slow down the loaded Astros lineup.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 8.0 runs at -115</strong></p>
