Welcome to Cash with Flash Best Bets Sunday MLB Betting Column. We’re excited to be here and we’ll try and write in this space as often as time allows.
Saturday was a losing day as we hit with the favored Indians but missed on underdog Houston.. That leaves us with a 32-30-11 mark over the history of this 2021 MLB Betting column.
We’re ahead of the game because of the 16 underdogs and several short favorites we hit. More than half of our wins were from wagering on underdogs and without them we’d be trending in the wrong direction. That’s something we don’t want to do.
The most important thing to remember when betting on baseball is finding underdogs as it takes a 52.4 percent success rate at -110 just to break even. This column will offer a mixture of mid to short favorites (-110 to -160) as well as underdogs at +200 and below.
We’re also looking at F5 inning wagers in order to eliminate bullpens, the church league softball extra-inning, man on second base and seven-inning doubleheader rules MLB has thrust upon us.

Unless otherwise indicated, all wagers are First Five Innings Wagers (F5).
