Welcome to Cash with Flash Best Bets Wednesday MLB Picks Betting Column. We’re excited to be here and we’ll try and write in this space as often as time allows.
Tuesday we went 1-0-1 but pushed with the Brewers at plus money. That leaves us with a 17-10-4 mark over the history of this MLB Betting column.
We’re ahead of the game because of the seven underdogs we hit. Nearly 50 percent 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.
Wednesday MLB Picks!
Unless otherwise indicated, all wagers are First Five Innings Wagers (F5).
In order to arrive at our conclusions, we’ll be using the principles found in Betting Baseball 101
