Welcome to Cash with Flash Best Bets Wednesday MLB Betting Column. We’re excited to be here and we’ll try and write in this space as often as time allows.  

Tuesday was another good day as we went 1-1 including the win with the underdog Yankees. That leaves us with a 37-37-11 mark over the history of this 2021 MLB Betting column. 

We’re ahead of the game because of the 20 underdogs and several short favorites we hit. Over 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).
