CapFigure Podcast – Episode 35 (SF Giants: Boom or Bumgarner?)

In this episode of CapFigure Podcast, we continue our 2017 team previews from Silicon Valley, the home of the San Francisco Giants. While the Giants fell short of continuing the even year title narrative in 2016, the team did find itself in the thick of yet another pennant chase. With arguably the best starting rotation in baseball and the addition of all-star closer Mark Melancon, the Giants once again appear to be on the short list of World Series contenders. We’ll also share with you some of the best tall tales of the modern day Paul Bunyan, Madison Bumgarner himself. If you call yourself a baseball fan, you won’t want to miss a thing!

CapFigure Podcast – Episode 34 (LA Dodgers: “Juicy That Payroll?”)

In this episode of CapFigure Podcast, we continue our 2017 team previews from Chavez Ravine, the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Known recently as “The Evil Empire of the West”, the Dodgers are well-known for their oversized payroll and lack of a ring to show for it. Despite these shortcomings, the Dodgers sport the game’s best pitcher (Clayton Kershaw) and a streak of four straight NL West titles. Two wins away from the NL Pennant in 2016, are the Dodgers poised to take the giant leap to World Series Champions in 2017? If you call yourself a baseball fan, you won’t want to miss a thing!

CapFigure Podcast – Episode 31 (Milwaukee Brewers: Breaking Bernie?)

In this episode of CapFigure Podcast, we continue our 2017 team previews with the Milwaukee Brewers. It doesn’t seem all that long ago that the upstart Brewers had a magical run behind young stars Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun and the hired gun that was CC Sabathia’s left arm. Fast forward to 2017 and the Brewers find themselves mired in a rebuilding phase. Will wunderkind GM David Stearns be able to right the ship and turn the current dismal state into a true contender?

JD’s Pick & Methodology

Looking through the current odds on today’s MLB action, the line for the New York Mets jumped off the screen and slapped me in the face.  Profitable wagering is all about managing the risk, comparable to the potential reward; I love the value I am getting with the moneyline for the Mets (currently at -119) tonight against a paltry, at best, opponent in the Milwaukee Brewers.  Continue reading “JD’s Vegas MLB Picks (June 10th)” →
