<strong><u>Miami</u></strong><strong><u> Marlins</u></strong>

It will not be a fun year for the Marlins. That being said, we will have chances to bet on them at home. If I bet the Marlins on the road at any point this season, slap me so hard that my ancestors will feel it. Miami plays 76 games against the Braves, Mets, Nationals, and Phillies. That’s 47.2 percent of the schedule. Add in the Dodgers, Rockies, the five very competitive teams in the NL Central, and the Indians and Twins in interleague play.

It will be a long year. Last year was a long year, but there was a silver lining. The Marlins were 25-55 away from home, but played to an extremely competitive 38-43 at home. They were awful against good teams, which is to be expected and a bad sign going into this season, but kind of held their own against bad teams at 29-36.

The Marlins were 13-14 in their 27 home games against playoff teams last season. Those teams were the Braves, Cubs, Brewers, Dodgers, Rockies, Yankees, and Red Sox. That’s not bad when you consider they were a home dog in most of those. Unfortunately, this team is horrible away from home and there were some extremely pronounced home/road splits on the pitching staff.

&nbsp;

<strong><u>Money Line Spots</u></strong>

Obviously there will be some spots to back the Marlins at home. The entire starting rotation and bullpen will get a boost from the pitcher-friendly conditions of Marlins Park. Naturally, the opposition pitchers get a boost as well, but the Marlins can at least be competitive and get some games to fall their way. At home, the Marlins were outscored 323-279. On the road, they were outscored 486-310.

What this means is that we can find some home spots to back the Fish. We can even do so without backing guys like Caleb Smith and Trevor Richards, who will command some respect from the oddsmakers and the betting public. Guys like Wei-Yin Chen and Dan Straily have a much better chance at home. Because they will likely have ERAs well into the 4s and 5s, they still won’t get much home respect. Guys like Smith and Richards miss bats and may not be hurt as badly on the road as the other starters. As a result, their prices, even at home, will be depressed a little bit.

There will be some situational spots that favor the Marlins as well. Coming off of a hard-fought series against Atlanta or somebody else in the division could lead to a letdown against an undermanned opponent. Also, well, it’s Miami. There’s a lot to do and a lot of reasons not to focus on baseball.

&nbsp;

<strong><u>Totals Spots</u></strong>

Marlins games at home featured just 7.43 runs per game. Road games featured 9.95 runs per game and that was with a miserable Marlins offense that only contributed 3.875 runs per game in those road contests. This is an enormous split and something very much worth keeping in mind. Even though the Marlins offense looks bad again, road overs are very much there for the taking because of how bad the pitching staff is.

The pitching staff isn’t a whole lot better this year either. Again, Smith and Richards project to have the best chances away from home. Overall, the Marlins posted a 3.56 ERA with a 4.01 FIP and a 4.47 xFIP at home. On the road, they were really, really bad. Miami finished the season with a 4.76 ERA, a 4.57 FIP, and a 4.65 xFIP. That’s right. Their season ERA was 1.20 runs higher than their home ERA. It takes a lot of bad pitching on the road to get to that point.

Marlins Park is very much priced into the line for Miami totals at home, but this offense is so bad that I wouldn’t be too scared taking 7.5s or 8s. Miami did manage to be 80-75-5 to the over last season, with the road playing a huge role.

&nbsp;

<strong><u>Individual Players to Watch</u></strong>

<strong>Wei-Yin Chen – </strong>My goodness. Chen had a .180/.245/.283 slash against at home with a .230 wOBA against. On the road, he allowed a .332/.398/.609 slash with a .419 wOBA. NL MVP Christian Yelich finished the season with a .422 wOBA. Essentially, hitters were collectively Christian Yelich against Chen on the road. Chen may not get a rotation spot here, but for the $17.3 million he’s being paid, he might as well eat innings.

<strong>Trevor Richards – </strong>Let’s see how the sophomore season goes for Trevor Richards. He had pronounced home/road splits as well, as he allowed a .294 wOBA at home and a .351 wOBA on the road. The one nice thing is that his K% went with him on the road, so I would expect improvement for him in that department. Away from home, he allowed a .335 BABIP and his LOB% was a tad lower.

<strong>Caleb Smith – </strong>Sample size noise had an impact on Smith. He allowed a .294 wOBA at home and had a 3.13 ERA. He allowed a .308 wOBA on the road and had a 5.18 ERA. Most of the damage was done in June when he got injured and missed the rest of the season. Smith wound up with a 69.4 percent LOB% on the road and a 79 percent LOB% at home, even though his K% was nearly identical. Hopefully he’s healthy so we can see how he progresses.

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.

New York Knicks vs Dallas Mavericks Betting Pick & Prediction 11/27/24

We’ve got a good one in the SEC tonight between Tennessee and Missouri in what could very well be the best game of the night. It is a busy college hoops card for Wednesday to say the least, but this game is one that jumps off the page as the only game featuring two ranked teams.

Tennessee has taken some of the early money at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline Sportsbook</strong></a> with a move up from -2.5 to -4, but the total has not moved much from the 132.5 opener. Moves around low numbers like this in college basketball are usually pretty significant and it’s clear that the sharper side, at least to this point, is indeed the Volunteers.

Let’s see if our assessment of the game falls in line with that sentiment as we break it down from both sides.
<h3><strong><u>Tennessee</u></strong><strong><u> Volunteers</u></strong></h3>
Tennessee is off to an excellent start to the season. The Volunteers are 6-0 straight up and have also been very kind to bettors by going 5-1 against the number. They’ve shot 11% better than their opponents on the season and have outscored the opposition by an average of 28 points per game.

Teams coached by Rick Barnes tend to do very well at the outset of a season. Per pro bettor and good friend Kyle Hunter, Barnes is 76-48 ATS in the first eight games of the season over the course of his career. That trend would apply to this matchup and has applied to this 5-1 ATS start. The only non-cover for UT was their last game against USC Upstate with a 20-point win as a 33.5-point favorite just before the Christmas holiday.

Tennessee has played two top-100 teams per Bart Torvik, including a season-opening win over Colorado. What will be interesting here is to see how the Vols fare hitting the road for the first time. To this point, all six of their games have been at home. They’ve been dominant in those, as their most recent game against USC Upstate was their worst defensive performance of the season with .939 points per possession allowed.

This will be a good test because the two worst offensive performances for the Vols have come against the two best teams they’ve played in Colorado and Cincinnati. While Cincinnati has struggled since to cheapen that win a little bit, that was still a nice, relatively pain-free win. The Vols have played lockdown defense, holding opponents to 28.1% from 3 and 42.5% from 2.

Their shooting numbers could be better, but they’re at nearly 80% at the free throw line, rank 12th in TO% on offense, and 13th in OReb%. This is a very polished team on the glass and that helps.

<h3><strong><u>Missouri</u></strong><strong><u> Tigers</u></strong></h3>
Cuonzo Martin’s Tigers have a couple of really big wins this season. They bested Oregon on a neutral and then also scored a victory over the Illinois Fighting Illini by three at home back on December 12. In those two games, Missouri managed to outscore their opponents, which was important because those are their two worst defensive showings by far of the season. We’ll have to see if Missouri is sharp in this spot, though, with an eight-day layoff.

The last game against Bradley came with a 10-day layoff. Missouri only scored .794 PPP and was limited to 16-of-63 shooting, including a 3-of-21 mark from 3. This is a team shooting just 28.4% from 3, but they’ve shot 55.2% from 2 and have made the most of their free throw chances at nearly 76%.

Missouri’s perimeter defense has been excellent to this point, as Illinois was only 3-of-13 from 3 and Bradley was just 2-of-18. Opponents are only shooting 24.1% on triple tries against the Tigers.

What is a little bit concerning for Missouri is that they don’t seem to be able to dictate the pace of a game. They’ve played three games of 71+ possessions and three games of 68 or fewer possessions. Martin would certainly prefer to play slower, as his team was in the bottom 75 in tempo in his first two years and then 260th last season.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
I won’t beat around the bush here. Tennessee is the play. Their length is likely to give Missouri fits. The Volunteers do not get stopped at the rim often and are one of the best two-point defenses in the nation because they block and alter shots. You can also see their length on display on the glass as well, as they are top-15 nationally in OR% and DR%.

Tennessee forces a lot of turnovers and takes great care of the basketball. Missouri takes pretty good care of the basketball, but the Volunteers should get extra possessions in this game.

It’s Tennessee for me.
