Reds vs Cubs MLB Free Pick
The Angle(s): I think it's safe to say that Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott (1-2, 5.97 ERA) is due for positive regression. He finishing last season with a 2.87 ERA, and held the Cubs to five runs over 24 innings across four starts last season. Cubs righty Jameson Taillon (2-1, 4.41 ERA) posted a 2.03 ERA with a .167 OBA in two starts against Cincy. Gimme the under.
The Bet: UNDER (3%).
Bet to: Under 7½ -110

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.
