Yale Bulldogs vs Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/24/24

Many people look at an MLB rotation on a given day and look for teams to bet "on" that are perceived to simply be the better team. In a way, that's the public way of thinking and what the bookmakers practically count on. In the continuing theme of both trying to educate and get people to look at things differently, let's look at FADING teams and players.

Probably more than half the bets I make are betting against teams and pitchers rather than on them. It's also where you'll generally find the best prices/value.

The most simple one is fading a starter that's had great numbers but a very high pitch count game. A great example right now is Wade Miley this week. He had the best WHIP in baseball not long ago and because of his great start, still is for some bettors. However, last week he threw 119 pitches against Washington. Miley hadn't thrown that many since a game in August of 2015, and the following game was one of his worst of the season.

What's even more interesting is that two years ago the team that shelled him after the exhausting game was the Tigers, and this week he's pitching against - - the Tigers. So, in that game it won't matter for me who Detroit throws out there, we'll be on the Tigers. If the Tigers are throwing out someone that Baltimore may have some success on we may be on the over as well, all revolving around fading Wade Miley.

Fading bullpens that have been used is a another great example. We can look and see whose bullpens are performing well from a numbers standpoint, but we can also see clearly which bullpens have been used. In this age of specialization many of these relievers are "unavailable" after pitching two straight days. And if you're following games, often times they warm up but don't get into the game. That's often times just as taxing

And example here would be the White Sox. Their pen has been very good most of the season, but look at the usage the last three games:

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-406208" src="http://bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/wsox.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="186" />

They don't have anyone that's truly rested, and Robertson (their closer) has thrown a lot of pitches in two of the last three games. If nothing else, you would potentially use this game in an "over", especially if the White Sox starter is one that might be in a bad spot, or one that might not typically give his team a quality start, hence bringing in the bullpen sooner rather than later. At the very least, it would be a situation where we (I) would not take Chicago, unless it were a <a href="http://bangthebook.com/strategy-for-betting-live-in-game-and-first-5-innings/"><strong>first-five inning bet</strong></a>. You've got to do your best to eliminate way you can lose a bet, just as you find ways to win a bet.

And of course the converse is true that you can bet ON bullpens that are over-performing and rested. The Yankees in this case would be on that list. Over the last week their bullpen ERA is UP over what it has been, and they've had a blown save. As we know they've got perhaps the best 8th/9th inning duo in the league with Betances and Chapman, but on top of that they're ALL rested.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-406209" src="http://bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/yanks.jpg" alt="" width="386" height="211" />

As you can see, not one Yankee reliever threw a pitch yesterday. They've also got two rested left-handed pitchers before they'd get to Chapman. The point here is that we would bet ON the Yankees here, or ON their bullpen, given the appropriate starter. Even a starter that might not typically pitch deep like Montgomery, who hasn't pitched more than six innings in a game this season.

This example is even more magnified on a day like today (the 14th) because they're playing a double-header, which is yet one more variable. So, while we're at it, another thing to consider is double-headers. Rarely would you want to bet the second game first, regardless of the pitching match up. That's true not only because of bullpens, but <a href="http://bangthebook.com/waiting-mlb-lineups-betting/"><strong>you just can't assume what the starting lineups will be</strong></a>.

Now that we've gotten off the original track, let me come full circle. Sometimes when we're handicapping the path of least resistance is not the best one. In fact, it rarely is. Try looking for teams and <a href="http://bangthebook.com/popular-sports-betting-techniques/"><strong>situations to bet AGAINST</strong></a>. A team playing their first home game after a long road trip is always a good fade spot. They've been gone from families, too, and they've got the same things to deal with after being gone ten days as most of us would.

We've got more situations, and we'll look at them in the neat future. For now, try looking at things differently, but remember to track them. Having a reference a reference point and/or a baseline is the only way. And if you don't know we're you've been you won't know where you're going.

<p>The college football betting action goes on Saturday, October 16, 2021, with Week 7 matchups around the country, including the Pac-12 showdown at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. Arizona State squares off against Utah for the first time since 2019, so here’s the best Sun Devils vs. Utes betting pick.</p>



<p>The No. 18 Sun Devils opened as slight 1-point road favorites on <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a> with their moneyline odds at -115. The Utes are -102 home underdogs to win straight up, while the totals are listed at 51.0 points.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>Arizona State eyes its fourth straight win&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The Arizona State Sun Devils (5-1; 3-3 ATS) are rolling on a three-game winning streak following a 28-10 victory to Stanford in Week 6. They covered the spread for the third straight time as well, holding the Cardinal to 369 total yards and forcing three turnovers.</p>



<p>The Sun Devils racked up 430 total yards in a return while torturing their rivals on the ground. Arizona State rushed 44 times for 255 yards. RB Rachaad White and QB Jayden Daniels had 13 carries each for a total of 172 yards and a couple of scores, and these two have already combined for 12 rushing touchdowns in 2021.</p>



<p>Daniels went 14-of-23 for 175 yards against Stanford and now has 1,269 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions on the season. The Sun Devils are scoring 33.3 points per contest (40<sup>th</sup> in the country) while averaging 214.3 rushing yards (23<sup>rd</sup>).</p>



<h2><strong>Utah seeks another upset</strong></h2>



<p>Last Saturday, the Utah Utes (3-2; 1-4 ATS) finally got one in the win column when it comes to covering the spread. They trounced the USC Trojans as 3-point road dogs, 42-26, scoring four touchdowns in the second quarter to build a 35-10 lead.</p>



<p>The Utes limited the Trojans to 3.7 yards per rush while tallying 5.1 in a return. Sophomore RB Tavion Thomas had a big game and finished with 16 carries for 113 yards and a TD. Cameron Rising went off 306 yards and three touchdowns, completing 22 of his 28 pass attempts, and sophomore QB also had six totes for 27 yards and a TD.</p>



<p>Through his four appearances in 2021, Rising has tossed for 625 yards and seven touchdowns. Utah is scoring 30.8 points per game (56<sup>th</sup> in the country), averaging 169.2 rushing yards (58<sup>th</sup>) and 5.5 per carry (tied-14<sup>th</sup>).</p>



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



<p><strong>Arizona State:</strong></p>



<ul><li>7-1 SU in the last eight games overall</li><li>5-0 ATS in the last five games against the Pac-12</li><li>4-1 ATS in the last five games on the road</li></ul>



<p><strong>Utah:</strong></p>



<ul><li>2-9 SU in the last 11 games as underdogs</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-arizona-state-vs-utah-pick"><strong>Arizona State vs. Utah Pick</strong></h2>



<p>The Sun Devils are yielding just 16.2 points per game (tied-12<sup>th</sup> in the nation) on 120.7 rushing yards (39<sup>th</sup>) and 181.3 passing yards (21<sup>st</sup>). Their defense should make the difference, though Utah runs the ball efficiently and could do some damage on the ground. On the other side, the Utes are yielding 23.0 points per game (tied-54<sup>th</sup>) on 129.4 rushing yards (51<sup>st</sup>) and 211.0 passing yards (47<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<p>Arizona State is a run-heavy team, but Utah allows only 3.5 yards per carry. Frankly, this clash could easily go either way, and I’m looking for a back-and-forth encounter. The Sun Devils should slow down the Utes’ passing offense, so we might see Cameron Rising’s first interception of the season. Don’t bother with a spread if you fancy one of these two teams.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Arizona State at -115&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



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



<p>Arizona State and Utah both have been terrific on the defensive side of things so far this term, and I’m looking for more of the same in Week 7. The Sun Devils have yielded 46 points over their last three outings, beating the No. 20 UCLA Bruins 42-23 in the process.</p>



<p>The Utes, on the other side, have allowed 72 points in that span, but they’ve suffered a 33-31 triple-overtime loss at San Diego State. Both teams will look to control the line of scrimmage, so give me the under on the totals.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 51.0 points at -110</strong></p>
