This BangTheBook article details a few key parameters fitting for an MLB season that concludes with a strong betting system that you can bet with confidence. I know I will be doing that. So, without further ado, let’s get started.

During a 162-game season teams will get scorching hot and icy cold for short periods of time. There are always outliers, for instance, as the St. Louis Cardinals went nuts in the last two months of last season. In a 60-game sprint, the peaks and valleys will not be as large and the urgency of teams to stop losing streaks will make the next game akin to a must-win environment.
<h3><strong>4-Game Losing Streaks</strong></h3>
Public opinion points to the Yankees juggernaut winning at least 40 games and some hecklers say they could win all 62 of the 60-games on the schedule. I meant that actually, but returning back to a serious tone if the Yankees, for instance, lose four straight games they will have to win 40 of 56 games to win the American League East, in my opinion. So, it depends on when the losing streak starts to rear its’ ugly head that does matter most.
<h3><strong>Getting Off to A Fast Start</strong></h3>
So, getting off to a fast start to the first 20 games will allow those teams a chance to recover from a four-game losing streak. If the goal is to get to 40-wins, then a team can have 20 losses (obviously) over the 60-game sprint. However, a four-game losing streak also means a total of just 16 losses over a 56-game sample size that is split in two parts by the four-game losing streak. That equates to a 0.714 win percentage over those 56-games, which few teams have ever attained.
Take the Phillies to Win the East

A fast start is what has made Bryce Harper a feared batter in April. I know it is July, but he is rested and motivated and is the type of player – like a Trout – that can carry a team on his back. I am swinging for the fences and putting a reasonable amount on the Phillies to win the NL East and the NL Pennant.
<h3><strong>The MLB 60-Game Sprint Betting System</strong></h3>
Since 2004, teams that are on a losing streak of not more than 4 games and have hit 15 extra-base-hits over their last three games are a solid 19-13 straight-up (SU) for 59.4% winning bets, averaging a -115 favorite betting line, and produced a handsome 15.1% return-on-investment (ROI). These teams are an even better 15-9 for 63% using the Run Line) and producing an eye-opening 25% ROI since 2004. Extra-base-hits are doubles, triples, and home runs. <span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong>So, we want teams that hit for power and average both and not just one or the other.</strong></span>
<h3><strong>What About the Pitching?</strong></h3>
Teams that are on no more than a 4-game losing streak, installed as not greater than a -135 favorite, and their bullpen has allowed no more than one run (earned or unearned) spanning the last three games have earned a SU 62-30 record for 67% winning bets and a solid 9.2% ROI since 2004.
<h3><strong>Second Game of a Double Header</strong></h3>
In the second game of a double-header teams that lost Game 1 and have no more than a 4-game losing streak, have a starting pitcher on the bump that completed seven or more innings of work, and are facing an opponent that has now won 8-of-10 games are a near-perfect 6-1. Teams playing the next day off a loss in this identical scenario have earned a 41-37 for 53% winning bets and a nice 7% ROI, but <span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong>an even more impressive 36-24 using the Run Line for a 16% ROI in games played since 2004</strong></span>.

Slicing the data set to include teams that have won at least 55% of their games improves the MLB 60-game betting system to a 14-11 SU record and a 7% ROI, but a jaw-dropping 15-7 record using the RL for a 32% ROI.
<h3><strong>Summary of the MLB 60-Game Sprint Betting System</strong></h3>
The takeaways from this MLB 60-game sprint betting system is to identify teams that are strong hitting teams that are near the top in the extra-base-hit category and need to stop a losing streak of not more than four games. Moreover, getting a starting pitcher that completed seven more innings of work or a hot bullpen that allowed one or fewer runs despite losing no more than four games is another money-making situation.

I will be updating this article once the season starts and it will otherwise, I am going to increase my ownership in ALL publicly-held craft beer companies and go visit Mr. Adam Burke so he can help guzzle them down with me on some desolate golf course he talks about on the Podcast. But seriously, stay safe, and if you are in any area, especially the area I live in, have respect for others and wear the mask. I am the first to admit it sucks to wear one, like doing the honey-do list (she will not read this, I hope), but it protects others, yourself, and is <span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><strong>respecting all people</strong></span>.

The <strong>Houston Texans</strong> have continued their slight upswing after firing head coach and GM Bill O’Brien, going 3-3 after a 0-4 start. Since their bye week, they have won at Jacksonville, lost by three at Cleveland and beaten the New England Patriots. Next up is a Thanksgiving Day trip to <strong>Detroit</strong> to take on a <strong>Lions</strong> team that simply looked dreadful in getting shut out by Carolina (and the Panthers had a backup quarterback, no less).

The Lions were 3-3 after a one-point win at Atlanta, but since then they have lost to Indianapolis, Minnesota and Carolina, beating Washington on a last-second field goal after giving up a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter.

<strong>Houston Texans at Detroit Lions (November 26)</strong>

<strong>When: </strong>Thursday, November 26, 2020, 1:00 pm ET

<strong>Where: </strong>Ford Field, Detroit

<strong>TV: </strong>CBS

<strong>Radio: </strong>Westwood One

<strong>JAZZ Sports Odds: Texans -3 / Total 51.5*</strong>
<h4>Why the Texans Will Win</h4>
Deshaun Watson has put up solid numbers, with 20 touchdown passes against just five interceptions. Brandin Cooks, Will Fuller V and Randall Cobb have turned into a serviceable wide receiver trio, but tailback David Johnson only has 408 yards through ten games.

The defense has been a problem for Houston, allowing 411.7 yards and 27.2 points per contest. Zach Cunningham is the team’s leading tackler with 101, and J.J. Watt has piled up four sacks. Houston seems to be playing better football right now, but they haven’t won two games in a row since December 2019. Their defense has a hard time stopping opponents (although they did hold Cam Newton and the Patriots to 20 points). Houston also has a hard time running the ball, which speaks both to issues on the offensive line and productivity issues out of Johnson. Watson did pound the ball himself to score a key touchdown on Sunday.
<h4>Why the Lions Will Win</h4>
Detroit has gotten decent play out of Matthew Stafford (17:7 TD:INT ratio). However, despite throwing seven touchdown passes in his last four games, Stafford is having issues with his right thumb – and playing anyway. Even so, that appears to be limiting his accuracy, particularly on balls down the field. The running game has not done much to support Stafford either, with Adrian Peterson only running for 389 yards through ten games.

The Lions’ defense is also porous, permitting 28.7 points per game. Romeo Okwara has been a beast on the pass rush, logging six sacks, but overall the Lions haven’t been stopping teams. Given that Matt Patricia, their head coach, is supposed to be a defensive guru, that’s not a good sign for his job security.
<h4>The Final Word</h4>
Two bad defenses playing on a short week (when point totals tend to be a little bit lower due to fatigue) means the sports betting advice here is a bit on the risky side. I still like the over, because neither team is playing defense right now. That loss to Carolina showed me that Detroit may be in give-up mode, while the Texans are still fighting. I like Houston to win a close track meet.

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.
