After spending the previous decade at Covers Experts, Bryan Power has wasted little time establishing himself here at WagerTalk. A consistent winner since first emerging on the scene back in 2011, Power didn\u2019t have a single losing calendar year in his first decade as a pro handicapper! In April &amp; May of this year (2022), he went on an amazing 154-99-2 (+$41,322) with all plays! October is when he truly made his mark at WT, at one point cashing 22 of 26 plays (85%). Power handicaps football (both NFL &amp; College), basketball (NBA &amp; College), MLB, Soccer (most major European leagues) and the UFC. He uses a personal set of power ratings, combined with situational handicapping to make his selections. Multiple bets per day, across multiple sports, are the norm. Client plays are rated 3%-5%. \ud83d\udc4d You can get free picks and betting tips direct from Vegas by following the WagerTalk handicappers on Twitter: \u25ba WagerTalk: https:\/\/twitter.com\/WagerTalk \u25ba Sportsmemo: https:\/\/twitter.com\/sportsmemo \u25ba GoldSheet: https:\/\/twitter.com\/thegoldsheet \u25ba Bryan Power: https:\/\/twitter.com\/bryanpower_wins \ud83d\udc4d Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to WagerTalk TV; \ud83d\udd14 CLICK the Bell and never miss an episode! \ud83d\udc40 WagerTalk TV, available for viewing on... \ud83d\udcfa Twitch: http:\/\/wt.buzz\/twitch \ud83e\udde0 More Free Sports Betting Picks and Tips: \ud83e\udd11 Free Sports Picks: https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/free-sports-picks \ud83d\udcca Live Odds: https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/odds \ud83d\uddde\ufe0f News: https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news \ud83d\udc4d Stay connected with WagerTalk \ud83d\udcfa YouTube: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/tv \ud83d\udc4d Facebook: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/fb \ud83d\udc26 Twitter: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/tw \ud83d\udcf8 Instagram: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/ig \ud83d\udcf0 Reddit: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/rd \u2764\ufe0f iHeart Radio: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/iheart \ud83c\udf4e Apple Podcasts: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/ap \ud83d\udccc Pinterest: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/pin\"><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/3UW8YbH2fok\/0.jpg\"><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT6M11S\"><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2023-08-16T13:35:17Z\"><\/span>\n<p class=\"p1\">Detmers has been absolutely blasted in his two August outings with 14 earned runs allowed including five home runs across only 6.1 innings pitched resulting in a bloated 19.98 ERA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He has also struggled on the road with a 6.70 ERA and .273 OBA compared to a 4.38 ERA and .248 OBA at home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Semien has had plenty of success against Detmers throughout his career, going 6-17 (.353) with a home run against him.

Luzardo allows opposing righties to bat .265 on the season with a .463 slugging percentage compared to just a .196 average and .308 slugging percentage allowed to lefties. McCormick belted a home run in last night\u2019s one-run win and already has three this month in total after hitting six home runs in July. There have been multiple instances this season in which McCormick has home runs in back-to-back games with Luzardo giving up 16 of his 18 home runs to righties on the season. The Marlins starter has also allowed five home runs in just his last two starts totaling 11 earned runs all together. We get nice odds with McCormick to hit a home run at +680 tonight as he\u2019s hit half of his 16 home runs away from Houston on the season. Other Astros to consider for a home run include Alex Bregman (+560) and Jon Singleton (+560) as well. Home Run Prop Prediction 2: Corey Seager (+310) We head out to Arlington for our next selection as we go with Corey Seager to hit yet another home run this month as he already has seven in August so far including two in last night\u2019s 7-3 win over the Angels. Lefty Reid Detmers gets the start for the Angels sporting a 6.70 road ERA and allowing six home runs over his last three starts. Detmers also allows opposing lefties to bat .313 on the season with a .578 slugging percentage. Seager has smashed lefties on the season batting .339 with a .615 slugging percentage and he\u2019s performed exceptionally well at home too batting .374 with a .747 slugging percentage. Seager has three hits including a home run in his career against Detmers as the Rangers shortstop also has multiple instances of hitting home runs in back to back games. Take Seager to hit a home run tonight at +310 with other Rangers to consider are Marcus Semien (+400) and Mitch Garver (+340). #mlbpicks #mlbpredictionstoday #mlbpredictions \ud83d\udc4d Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to WagerTalk TV; \ud83d\udd14 CLICK the Bell and never miss an episode! \ud83d\udc40 WagerTalk TV, available for viewing on... \ud83d\udcfa Twitch: http:\/\/wt.buzz\/twitch \ud83e\udde0 More Free Sports Betting Picks and Tips: \ud83e\udd11 Free Sports Picks: https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/free-sports-picks \ud83d\udcca Live Odds: https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/odds \ud83d\uddde\ufe0f News: https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news \ud83d\udc4d Stay connected with WagerTalk \ud83d\udcfa YouTube: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/tv \ud83d\udc4d Facebook: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/fb \ud83d\udc26 Twitter: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/tw \ud83d\udcf8 Instagram: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/ig \ud83d\udcf0 Reddit: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/rd \u2764\ufe0f iHeart Radio: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/iheart \ud83c\udf4e Apple Podcasts: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/ap \ud83d\udccc Pinterest: https:\/\/wt.buzz\/pin\"><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/Bsj5AK2_o3I\/0.jpg\"><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT2M20S\"><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2023-08-16T15:41:52Z\"><\/span>\n<p class=\"p1\">Betts has recorded 2+ Hits + Runs + RBI in his last three games and 8 of his last 10 games while also being successful in the long-term with 2+ in 70 of 112 games on the season for a 63% success rate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Wade Miley is having a stellar 2023 campaign with a 6-2 record, 2.90 ERA with only 53 strikeouts across 55.2 innings of work.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers is 2-7 on the season with a 5.27 ERA and 131 strikeouts across 107.2 innings of work.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/3UW8YbH2fok\n<p class=\"p1\">Detmers has been absolutely blasted in his two August outings with 14 earned runs allowed including five home runs across only 6.1 innings pitched resulting in a bloated 19.98 ERA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He has also struggled on the road with a 6.70 ERA and .273 OBA compared to a 4.38 ERA and .248 OBA at home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Semien has had plenty of success against Detmers throughout his career, going 6-17 (.353) with a home run against him. He has been a Halos killer this season, clearing this total in 6 of 9 games in 2023. This play checks all of the boxes, making it worthy of the -145 juice.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: revert; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: revert; font-weight: revert;\">Hitter Prop Prediction 2: Mookie Betts Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-150)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts is in the midst of an MVP-caliber season with a .289 batting average, 31 home runs and 81 RBI across 514 plate appearances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He has also scored 94 runs in 2023 due to leading off in a potent lineup in front of sluggers like Freddie Freeman, Will Smith and Max Muncy.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/Bsj5AK2_o3I\n<p class=\"p1\">Betts has recorded 2+ Hits + Runs + RBI in his last three games and 8 of his last 10 games while also being successful in the long-term with 2+ in 70 of 112 games on the season for a 63% success rate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Wade Miley is having a stellar 2023 campaign with a 6-2 record, 2.90 ERA with only 53 strikeouts across 55.2 innings of work. However, Betts has crushed Miley, going 9-19 (.474) with a home run, four doubles and four RBI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Dodgers are on a nine-game winning streak with 5+ runs in six of those games and they currently lead the NL West by nine games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Betts has been a key part of that run and based on his success against Miley he should fly over this number again tonight in LA.<\/p>\n\n<h3>First Pitch | MLB Betting Preview for August 16<\/h3>\nJoin Drew Martin and a rotating panel of guests for First Pitch as we break down the daily baseball slate from a betting perspective every weekday at 1:45pm ET \/ 10:45am PT for First Pitch discussing the MLB betting slate.
