Braves vs Dodgers MLB Free Pick
The Angle(s): Atlanta righty Spencer Strider’s (0-0, 8.10 ERA) recent arc has shifted from "untouchable ace" to more of a volatile, high-strikeout arm with a thinner margin for error. Against a deep Dodgers lineup that grinds at-bats, his walk issues and occasional command lapses can snowball quickly. One crooked inning is all you need to turn a tight moneyline win profile into a multi-run result.
Dodgers' Blake Snell has not played this season due to an injury, but has made a name for himself as a swing-and-miss lefty with the kind of stuff that can completely cap an opponent's scoring for five or six innings when he’s in rhythm. Add an elite bullpen, and you have, well, a reigning World Series champion...
The Dodgers are 23-14 as favorites, which is not super impressive to be honest, but when they win, it's typically by more than one run which is why I recommend the runline instead of the moneyline.
The Bet: DODGERS -1½ (3%).
Bet to: Dodgers -1½ +105.

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.
