Northeastern Huskies vs Bakersfield Roadrunners NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/24/24

There was a lot of line movement in yesterday’s Vermont vs. UMBC game. The Catamounts closed -4.5 and the total closed 135. Our under 133 was in bad shape from the jump and an 88-point second half saw the game fly over the total. We’re still on the plus side for this week, but that was an ugly one and a bad call.

Friday’s card is quite extensive as we get a bunch of the Friday/Saturday back-to-backs in a lot of conferences. Our focus will be on a game well off the beaten path in the wiggity, wiggity WAC between Utah Valley and New Mexico State. The Aggies are favored by nine points with a total of 143 as we return to <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker"><strong>Bookmaker Sportsbook</strong></a> in hopes of changing things up a little bit.

This one will be played at the Eastwood High School Gymnasium in El Paso.
<h3><strong><u>Utah</u></strong><strong><u> Valley</u></strong><strong><u> Wolverines</u></strong></h3>
A lot of Utah Valley’s wounds this season have been self-inflicted. The Wolverines don’t take care of the basketball and turn it over too much. They’ve missed their free throws. They’ve lost games that they shouldn’t. They’ve fouled too often. They’ve failed to defend the three-point line.

The numbers back it up. Utah Valley’s TO% on offense is 21.5%, which ranks 291st. Their TO% on defense is 15.1%, which ranks 335th. Their free throw percentage is 62.5%, which also ranks 335th. Opponents also just happen to be hitting 79% of their free throws through 15 games. The Wolverines have allowed opponents to shoot 36.4% from three.

However, Mark Madsen’s squad has done a lot of good things, too. UVU is a high-quality rebounding team, especially on the defensive end, where their 22.3% ORB% against is 16th in the nation. The fact that they can’t make free throws is extremely disappointing because they get to the rim a ton and get fouled a lot. Their 44.6% FT Rate is second in the nation. Their two-point percentage is 40th in the country at 54.3%.

For some gory math, we head to Haslametrics. Utah Valley ranks third in Erik Haslam’s “Proximity” metric, which is a measure of shooting proximity vs. the average opponent. Only Stephen F. Austin and St. Bonaventure grade higher than Utah Valley’s 1.859 mark. The closer to 1, the closer to the rim the shots come. The closer to 3, the more threes a team takes.

Utah Valley also ranks 11th in NPA%, which is Near Proximity Attempt Percentage. Basically, Utah Valley gets to the rim and gets a lot of great looks at the basket. They’ve converted a lot of those two-point shots, but they have left a lot of points out there at the free throw line as well. The Wolverines are a decent three-point shooting team at 35%, but their 27% 3P Rate ranks 340th in the nation.

<h3><strong><u>New Mexico</u></strong><strong><u> State</u></strong><strong><u> Aggies</u></strong></h3>
New Mexico State has had a hard time getting going this season. Extremely strict COVID protocols have pushed the team to El Paso, TX for its home games. The Aggies were idle from December 28 to January 25, so they’ve only played 10 games this season and have split them down the middle with a 5-5 record. They have actually lost four of six conference games in a league that they usually dominate.

You would think that with each passing game, NMSU would start to look better, but they’ve been as inconsistent as the day is long. Losses to Grand Canyon are understandable, but the Aggies gave up 1.28 points per possession to Cal Baptist in the first game before adjusting to win the second game by 27. They lost the first game on the road at Seattle by 11 before turning around to win by seven in the second game.

You really don’t know what you are going to get from New Mexico State on a game-by-game basis. It has definitely been a throwaway year, but the Aggies could still put it all together and make a run to go to the NCAA Tournament. That would probably start tonight with a good performance against Utah Valley.

New Mexico State is also a good rebounding team, which could neutralize some of what Utah Valley does well, but the Aggies are allowing opponents to make 51.9% of their twos and 35.3% of their threes. The Aggies are 11th in 3P Rate, so they’ve taken a ton of treys, but are only making 30.3% of those shots. This will only be the team’s third game at Eastwood High School. Surely they’ve been practicing there, but it still has to be quite strange.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
Going against a New Mexico State team that is the most talented in the WAC is a bit scary, but they don’t really seem to have everything together to the point where we can reliably expect them to beat an opponent by double digits. Utah Valley gets way too many high-percentage looks at the rim in my opinion for NMSU to get a blowout victory.

My only concern here is that Utah Valley’s free throw shortcomings come into play late in the game, but this could also be a game played to New Mexico State’s slow tempo. Tarleton State slowed Utah Valley down. They seem to play at the tempo of their opponent. A low-possession game makes it even harder to blow a team out.

<p>The New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays continue their battle for the wild-card spot in the American League on Wednesday, September 29, 2021, with the middle contest of a three-game series at Rogers Centre in Toronto.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Excluding Tuesday’s clash in Canada, the Jays are 10-6 against the Yanks in 2021. Toronto is a slight +100 moneyline dog for Wednesday’s showdown, while the Yankees sit at -110 with a total of 8.5 runs on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<h2><strong>The Yanks hope to stay hot down the stretch&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The New York Yankees entered the final week of the season holding the top wild card in the American League, one game ahead of the Boston Red Sox and a pair of games ahead of the Toronto Blue Jays. They were also riding a six-game winning streak, scoring 37 runs in the process and yielding just 16 in a return while sweeping Texas at home and Boston on the road.</p>



<p>Over the last couple of weeks, the Yankees have gone 9-3 while posting the third-lowest ERA in baseball (3.07). They’ve scored 62 runs in that span, slashing .269/.348/.494 and posting the third-best OPS in the majors.</p>



<p>Gerrit Cole will get the nod Wednesday, and he’s 2-1 with a 2.74 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in four starts against the Jays this season (23 innings pitched). The 31-year-old righty took a loss in a 5-1 defeat to Toronto on September 7, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and a pair of walks across just 3.2 innings of work.</p>



<p>Cole is 16-8 with a 3.08 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 29 starts this term. He’s struggled over his last two outings, yielding ten earned runs through 11.2 frames, but since mid-August, Cole has registered a nice 3.00 ERA and 2.83 FIP across eight starts and 45 innings.</p>



<h2><strong>The Jays desperately need more from their offense&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The Toronto Blue Jays own the third-highest scoring offense in the majors, averaging 5.18 runs per contest. However, over their last 12 outings, the Jays have scored just 43 runs while posting a disappointing .217/.279/.390 batting line.</p>



<p>Toronto recorded four losses in seven games last week. At least, the Blue Jays emerged victorious on weekend, outlasting Minnesota on the road, 6-1 and 5-2.</p>



<p>The Blue Jays’ pitching staff has registered a decent 3.81 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and a .227 batting average against over the past two weeks. Jose Berrios will take the hill Wednesday, and the 27-year-old righty has gone 5-4 with a 3.50 ERA and 3.51 FIP in 11 starts (64.1 frames) since joining the Blue Jays at the trade deadline.</p>



<p>Berrios met the Yanks on September 9 and took a win in a 6-4 victory at Yankee Stadium. He surrendered two earned runs on five hits and a couple of free passes while punching out eight across 6.2 innings of work.</p>



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



<p><strong>NY Yankees:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-8 in the last 12 games against Toronto</li></ul>



<p><strong>Toronto:</strong></p>



<ul><li>8-2 in the last ten games at home&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-new-york-yankees-vs-toronto-blue-jays-pick"><strong>New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays Pick</strong></h2>



<p>This game could easily go either way and with both teams bringing the big guns to the mound, I would stick with the under on the totals. I lean the hosts mostly because of their recent dominance over the Yankees, and the Jays just have to find a way to win if they want to stay alive in the playoff chase.</p>



<p>Both teams are loaded offensively, but the starting pitchers are capable of shutting the opposite side down. The current Jays are slashing .230/.271/.351 in 156 at-bats against Gerrit Cole, while Jose Berrios has allowed a .231/.282/.339 triple-slash to the current Yankees.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Toronto Blue Jays +1.5 at -160&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>As I’ve mentioned above, both teams will have a tall task to hit well against Wednesday’s starters even though there are a bunch of sluggers on either side. Furthermore, the Yankees bullpen has recorded a shiny 2.90 ERA and 2.66 FIP over the last two weeks, though the Jays ‘pen has a 4.06 ERA and 5.28 FIP in that span.</p>



<p>The under has hit in 12 of the last 17 meetings between the Yanks and Jays. Eight of the Yankees’ last 12 games went in the under, as well as eight of the Blue Jays’ previous nine contests overall.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 8.5 at -115&nbsp;</strong></p>

As a gambler, my number one skill isn’t that I pick games. It isn’t that I price props. It isn’t that I have a crystal ball, or a secure safe full of cash and coins, or a vault like Scrooge McDuck (although that would be both awesome, and not nearly has hard to swim in as he makes it look).

As a gambler, my number one skill is a willingness to learn. I’m always trying to find new edges, and I’m always willing to cast off old ways of thinking if I find they aren’t successful. “Oh, this doesn’t really work? Time for the next thing.” It’s easy to be stubborn and think the laws of the universe are conspiring against you. It’s easy to think your processes are ironclad and it’s everything else around you that’s going wrong. Constant re-evaluation and improvement (tweaking, if you will) will lead to much more success, though. Keeping an open mind helps a lot too. As Alan Boston, noted college basketball degenerate, once said, “you get better at something by eliminating mistakes, not by being a genius. How many genius things do you really do in the course of your life?”

One way to eliminate mistakes is to figure out the best way to solve a problem. Any gambling situation, prop or otherwise, is something I choose to consider a problem, and then I try to figure out how to solve it. Roulette? That’s not solvable. On to the next problem.

In sports, some of the problems can be solved using a tool called a Poisson distribution, which predicts the probability of a certain type of event occurring. Many sites offer a Poisson calculator that will do the work for you as long as you have a number you trust to run in it. Although it can be important to know the ins-and-outs of the formula itself, the variables, the exact way the math is calculated, that’s just never really been my bag. If the world of math and statistics tells me that’s what this formula is for, I’m using it. Leap of faith? Maybe. But it’s also math, so that’s basically a contradiction.

The criteria which you use to decide whether Poisson is applicable is the most important thing. Many have tried and failed to equate it with certain props, only to lead themselves unknowingly down the path to ruin (or just heavy losses). The common example people use is a coin flip. If you use Poisson to price a coin flip, you get a price so obviously outrageous (Heads +154/Tails -154) that you can see what I mean.

What are the criteria? Glad you asked. Here is my checklist:

--Does the thing you are pricing occur in a fixed time and space? For sports betting, this one is fairly easy, and almost always comes up yes.
--The number of trials you are looking at needs to be pretty big. Several things I’ve read list 20 or more as a guideline. So for example, if you were trying to calculate the # of sacks in an NFL game? There are definitely more than 20 dropbacks-to-pass in an NFL game. That’s an opportunity for the event to occur.
--Does the thing you are pricing occur rarely? A standard metric is, in every trial, a 10 percent chance or less of occurrence. You will immediately rule out many things based on this. Heads on a single coin-flip, for example (which also fails the first criteria).
--Does the thing you are pricing go up in increments of 1? This will rule out other things – scoring in football and basketball for example (which goes up by 2,3, and 7), although not necessarily the number of a certain type of score (like field goals).
--Is the event “memoryless”? Or, put another way, if the event occurs (a sack happens), does that increase or decrease the likelihood of it occurring again in the same game? If it does, then Poisson does not apply. You need to be able to trust the distribution of results you’ve observed going backwards, that you are using to come up with your numbers, and that those will continue to apply. This is a hang-up that has led many people I’ve seen to question whether NHL goals are applicable, because scoring increases sharply in the last 2 minutes of many games (when the other team pulls their goalie down by 1). If teams wouldn’t adopt this strategy, I think we’d have a winner. Now? I’m not so sure.

And that uncertainty is also something I want to hammer here. The applications here are up to you to decide. Take this for a spin, and try it out. There are things that I know this works for, especially in football. The likelihood of a team recording a safety, for example. Or the number of sacks they’ll record in a game. The likelihood of a game during bowl season, or the NCAA tournament, going to overtime (which, if you follow me on Twitter, was something I have brought up before). In these cases, the prop fits the criteria, and you can use research and past history to come up with a number that’s pretty solid to enter into the formula. The number can be trusted.

Folks have tried to argue that NBA rebounds and assists are successfully predicted using this formula as well, but I’m not totally convinced, since there are so many variables during an NBA season (resting starters, playing teams with faster pace) that I’m not sure previous data can be trusted to price current games.

The important thing with this type of tool is to figure out what problems it best solves, and use it there. Keep an open mind. Eliminate mistakes. Be willing to learn.
