Coppin State Eagles vs Penn State Nittany Lions NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/14/24

Who will throw today’s no-hitter? One of the toughest pitching accomplishments now seems to take place nightly, as the baseball and the bad offenses are combining to rewrite the record books. With six no-hitters prior to May 20, and a record of seven in a season, it sure looks like we’re going to see a record that may never be broken.

There aren’t a lot of no-hitter candidates on the betting board for today and we’re not going to see one in the game between the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays, but we do have an interesting game and pitching matchup. It will be Nick Pivetta against Steven Matz with the host Blue Jays favored in the -130 range at BetUS <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/">Sportsbook</a> with a total of 10 at TD Ballpark in Dunedin, FL.

Let’s see which team has the upper hand in this one.
<h2><strong><u>Boston Red Sox</u></strong></h2>
The Red Sox are still third in wOBA, just one point behind both Houston and the Chicago White Sox, but the adjustments made to their wRC+ as a result of calling Fenway Park home leave them fourth in that department. If the Red Sox walked more often, they’d be up at the top of the league in wOBA because they easily lead the league in SLG at .448, 13 points higher than the Astros.

Boston’s .263 batting average is up there as second-best in a season where the league has batted right around .236, setting an historic low in that statistical category. The Red Sox are an aggressive, free-swinging offense, but one that makes a lot of contact and sits fifth in baseball with 57 home runs.

While the offense has been more of a story, due in large part to how bad league-wide offense has been, it is actually the pitching staff that deserves all of the accolades. We knew the Red Sox would hit. What we didn’t know is that they would be a top-five pitching staff by fWAR and second in FIP this late into May. What looked like a huge weakness for the Red Sox has actually been quite a strength.

Nick Pivetta has been a big part of it. After struggling as a Major League over parts of four seasons with the Phillies, Pivetta seems to have found something that works with Boston. He has a 3.16 ERA with a 3.70 FIP in his 42.2 innings of work. He’s been able to pitch around a 12.8% BB% with a 24.4% K%, a .240 BABIP, and only three home runs allowed across eight starts. He allowed four in just 15.2 innings in 2020 and 20 in just 93.2 innings in 2019.

Pivetta has cut his curveball usage in favor of more sliders and has easily had the best fastball command of his career. How long all of this continues is a fair question, given that Pivetta, who has a career 17.1% HR/FB%, has a 4.52 xFIP that is suggestive of regression.

Similarly, the Boston bullpen, which also looked like a weak spot for the team, is fifth in FIP and fourth in fWAR thus far.
<h2><strong><u>Toronto Blue Jays</u></strong></h2>
The Blue Jays have found their stride offensively. After getting off to a slow start this season, the Blue Jays are now tied for second in home runs and sit sixth in wOBA as play begins on May 20. Toronto’s .341 wOBA over the last 30 days is the third-best mark in baseball and their 39 home runs are right up there with the league leaders. Over the last 14 days, Toronto’s .367 wOBA is only bested by Houston, who has a 10.2% BB% in that span compared to a 6.9% for Toronto.

The nomadic Blue Jays will return to Buffalo to play on June 1, barring any sort of changes to the policies in Ontario to allow Toronto to go home. They’ve enjoyed their adopted home of TD Ballpark in Dunedin, where the Blue Jays lead the league in home batting average at .285. They’re also far and away first in wOBA and also wRC+, though data for that Spring Training field is limited and a wRC+ correction will likely take place when the park factors come into play.

Nevertheless, it has been a big ballpark for offense and the Blue Jays have provided a lot of the punch in those games. Their .503 SLG is the best in baseball by 24 points at home. In that respect, we shall see if they send Pivetta down the path of regression.

Regression found Steven Matz, but his last start may have given Jays backers and fans some hope. After allowing just three runs on nine hits over his first 18.1 innings of the season, Matz allowed 17 runs over his next 18.2 innings. He’s coming off a start against Philadelphia in which he scattered four hits over five scoreless innings with nine strikeouts.

Add it all up and Matz has a 4.29 ERA with a 3.94 FIP and a 3.57 xFIP in 42 innings of work. He’s struck out 46 and walked 13 with six long balls allowed. He allowed six runs on eight hits to Washington in Dunedin on April 28, but pitched well in his other two starts. The southpaw Matz draws a Boston lineup that is seventh in wOBA against LHP this season.

Toronto’s bullpen is an above average unit. The 3.77 FIP ranks 12th in baseball, but the 3.06 ERA is one of the best marks in the league. The relievers have been strong across the board for the Jays, which gives their offense a chance to get back in games when trailing or add to the lead when ahead.
<h2><strong><u>Red Sox vs. Blue Jays Free Pick</u></strong></h2>
Both of these offenses have been putting up some numbers, but 10 is a lofty total, even with how the month of May has seen some offensive improvements league-wide. It is tough to like the projection of either pitcher in this game, as Pivetta has pitched better than Matz, but Pivetta also profiles as a negative regression candidate in a lot of ways. For me, I’ll side with the Blue Jays as a result, as their offense, particularly at home, has been quite strong this season and the Red Sox pitching staff doesn’t seem likely to keep this up in my estimation.

James Madison Dukes vs Morgan State Bears Betting Pick & Prediction 12/22/23

<p>The NCAAF regular season traditionally ends with a Navy-Army rivalry game on the second Saturday of December, so make sure you get the best Midshipmen vs. Knights betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Navy and Army will battle for the Secretary’s Trophy when they meet at Lincoln Financial Field. The Midshipmen are slight -1.5 favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 32.5 points. These traditional foes have met on 122 occasions since 1890, and the Midshipmen lead 62–53–7. Navy also won the last year’s clash 17-13 in East Rutherford, NJ.</p>



<p><strong>Midshipmen upset UCF on the road</strong></p>



<p>The Navy Midshipmen (4-7-0, 7-4-0 ATS) were on a two-game losing run and in jeopardy to suffer the third consecutive defeat for the first time this season. However, after losing to Cincinnati and Notre Dame, the Midshipmen upset the UCF Knights 17-14 on the road. It was Navy’s first away victory in four games, while that was also UCF’s first home defeat in five.</p>



<p>Navy had just one passing attempt in this win and 63 carries for 248 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Daba Fofana led all the runners with a game-high 114 yards on 20 attempts. Vincent Terrell Jr. found the end zone on the ground, while quarterback Xavier Arline, who had that lone pass attempt, also recorded a rushing TD. </p>



<p>Mbiti Williams Jr. contributed defensively with an interception, while John Marshall had an outstanding game, the best of his career. He registered a career-high four sacks, led the team with ten tackles, and also had a forced fumble.</p>



<p>QB Tai Lavatai suffered a season-ending injury to his left knee in late October and is ruled out for the season.</p>



<p><strong>The Black Knights are looking to conclude the year with the third win in a row</strong></p>



<p>The Army Black Knights (5-6-0, 6-5-0 ATS) were impressive in the last two games in which they scored 78 points, winning against UConn and UMass in the process. Army justified the role of a big favorite against the UMass Minutemen with a massive 44-7 victory on the road. </p>



<p>The Black Knights dominated the total yards (396-235), first downs (18-12), and forced even four turnovers while committing none on the other end. Interestingly, UMass actually got a 7-0 lead at the start.  </p>



<p>Tyhier Tyler completed two of two passes for 67 yards. He was excellent on the ground, though, with a game-high 101 yards and three rushing touchdowns on 11 carries. Jakobi Buchanan added a pair of rushing TDs, while Bryson Daily and Markel Johnson combined for 146 yards and a score on 16 attempts. Army forced two interceptions and two fumbles, while Max Didomenico led the Black Knights with six tackles.</p>



<p>RB Tyrell Robinson (undisclosed) is out indefinitely and will not feature on Saturday against Navy. QB Cade Ballard (hand) is questionable.</p>



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



<p><strong>Navy:</strong></p>



<ul><li>3-7 ATS in the last ten non-conference games</li><li>2-7 ATS in the last nine games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game</li></ul>



<p><strong>Army:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-0 ATS in the last five games overall</li><li>7-3-1 ATS in the last 11 neutral site games</li><li>4-0 ATS in the last four games after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game</li></ul>



<p><strong>Navy Midshipmen vs. Army Black Knights Pick&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>I am aware that the current form has nothing to do with this particular rivalry game, but I am going with the Black Knights. Navy will play its first game in three weeks, and I expect the Midshipmen to be a bit out of the competitive rhythm, which should be Army’s advantage. </p>



<p>Army has a better offense that is scoring 29.4 points per game opposite Navy’s 22.5 ppg. The Black Knights have the second-best run offense in college football that is averaging 304.4 yards per contest. It’s going to be a great duel between Daba Fofana and Tyhier Tyler, and I am backing Tyler to come away with a victory.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Black Knights at +1.5 (-110)</p>



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



<p>Not only that the Black Knights are fantastic in running, but the Midshipmen also have a top-10 run offense that is averaging 239.5 yards per game. We will not be going to see more than a couple of pass attempts from each side in this game. Instead, prepare yourselves for a run fest and multiple rushing touchdowns. </p>



<p>The total is quite low, but knowing these rivals and considering recent H2Hs, it’s not strange. Under is 18-3 in the last 21 H2H meetings; Under is 5-1 in the Midshipmen’s previous six non-conference games, while Under is 22-7 in the Black Knights’ last 29 neutral site games.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Under 33.5 (-130)</p>
