The PLAY: New York Mets -160 Freddy Peralta (RHP) Must Start
Diamondbacks vs Mets MLB Free Pick
The Angle(s): New York Mets right-hander Freddy Peralta gave up four runs in his home debut at Citi Field, but limited the Cardinals to one run on three hits over 5 1/3 innings in his first road start. Back for his season home start, I like Peralta to shut down an Arizona team 0-3 away from home.
The Bet: METS (3%).
Bet to: Mets -175
Consultant Bio
Magic Mike Moneymaker's experience as a professional poker player has proven to be an immeasurable asset in sports handicapping. He's a numbers guy, with a keen eye for spotting trends and stats that just don't jive with the odds offered by the bookmakers. All Mike's plays come with write ups backing up his selection, giving you a glimpse into his process of breaking down games.
Just as in cash game poker, the goal is not to win that giant pot once in a while, but to build your bankroll slowly and steadily by identifying +EV situations to exploit.
----Handicapping Methodology----
As a former online poker pro, Mike knows the value of creating systems and winning formulas through statistical analysis and math to use as a baseline, but much like poker, sports are played by human beings with emotions and feelings.
Identifying letdown spots, bounce-back spots and situational betting in general plays a big part in Mike's success in picking winners, but he's also not a stranger to locking in a bet based on stats and trends alone.
