CapFigure Podcast – Episode 5 (Time to Trade Trout?)

CapFigure Podcast – Episode 5 (Time to Trade Trout?)

Mike Trout is a true generational talent.  At only 25 years old, Trout’s production and skill-set puts him along-side the likes of all-time greats Mickey Mantle, Alex Rodriguez, Ted Williams, Al Kaline and Miguel Cabrera.  With the Los Angeles Angels 16.5 GB in the AL West and a barren farm system providing a bleak outlook for the near future, the whispers of exploring a trade of the super-star center-fielder have become louder.

In this episode of CapFigure Podcast, Ryan and Tom explore all aspects of a potential blockbuster deal for Trout.  After deriving an approximate value for the 25 year old center-fielder, Tom explores potential suitors that have the ammunition to pull the trigger on a deal.  Presenting packages comprised of both prospects and big-league ready talent, Tom attempts to pry Trout from the Angels as Ryan cynically attempts to discredit the merits of each trade.  Deal or No Deal…Hilarity ensues.

JD’s Vegas MLB Picks (June 20th)

JD’s Vegas MLB Picks (June 20th)

JD’s Pick & Methodology

There’s no team better to end a rough losing streak than the Pittsburgh Pirates at home against a left-handed starter.  My confidence may come off as surprising, given that the Pirates are set to face-off against the San Francisco Giants and the modern day Paul Bunyan, Madison Bumgarner.  As always though, sports betting is about finding value in the lines, maximizing the potential reward against the perceived risk.  For today I will be taking the Pirates in two separate lines, the +1.5 run line and the “over” for the team over / under of 3 runs.

The team run-line of +1.5 runs for the Pirates is currently offering even money, or a line of (+100).  While the Giants are clearly to be considered as the favorites, and for good reason, the Pirates are too-good of a hitting line-up against LHP for me to pass up on that value.  Even though Bumgarner, or “Mad Bum” as he’s known around parts, has gotten off to a terrific stretch to begin the 2016 season; in 18.1 IP over the past three seasons against the Pirates, Mad Bum sports a rather pedestrian 5.40 ERA, which is his worst against any National League opponent.

A bet of $40.00 on the +1.5 run-line , will yield a potential pay-out of $40.00; while the the Pirates over of 3 runs will yield a potential pay-out of $36.37.

JD’s Vegas MLB Picks (June 14th)

JD’s Vegas MLB Picks (June 14th)

JD’s Pick & Methodology

Today’s MLB action presents quite a few opportunities that I perceive to be lines with strong value.  The two teams I feel strongest about are the Toronto Blue Jays (“TOR”) and the San Francisco Giants (“SFG”), currently Vegas is offering lines of (-241) for SFG and (-260) for TOR.  Seeing as both of these teams are so heavily favored, it makes sense for me to utilize a parlay bet, which will effectively reduce the juice (or VIG) that I will be paying the house in order to make this bet.   Continue reading “JD’s Vegas MLB Picks (June 14th)” →
