The PLAY: Cincinnati Reds +1.5 (-160) Andrew Abbott (LHP), Aaron Nola (RHP) Must Start
Reds vs Phillies MLB Free Pick
The Angle(s): The Philadelphia Phillies came into yesterday’s game on a five-game winning streak, but that meant nothing as they fell 4–1. Odds are their bats stay quiet again, this time against left-hander Andrew Abbott (3–2, 4.21 ERA), who has allowed just one run on 11 hits over 16 2/3 innings across three starts in May. Philadelphia will turn to Aaron Nola (2–3, 5.91 ERA), who is not having a great season and has issued five walks while serving up three homers over his last two starts alone
The Bet: REDS +1½ (3%).
Bet to: Reds +1½ -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.
