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\/eV9dQ7N78HM\/0.jpg\"><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT5M25S\"><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2023-08-31T14:01:37Z\"><\/span>\n<p class=\"p1\">Lynn has won the head-to-head matchup with Ozuna thus far, holding him to 3-19 with no home runs. However, Ozuna was 1-8 against Kyle Freeland prior to hitting a two-run bomb against him last night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Lynn has also allowed 34 home runs which is the most of any pitcher in majors. Ozuna is obviously a power hitter and is on track to set a career best number. We will set the matchup aside in this one and ride the hot bat in a potential NLCS preview.<\/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: Max Muncy Under 0.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+125)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy is batting .208 with 31 home runs and 88 RBI across 462 plate appearances during the 2023 regular season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Muncy is currently on a 9-game hitting streak, clearing this Hits + Runs + RBI total in each game. Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Strider currently has the 2nd best odds to win the National League Cy Young with a 15-4 record, 3.46 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 236 strikeouts across 153.1 innings of work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Strider has been lights out in his last three outings with only a solo run allowed across 21 innings while striking out 25.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Muncy has struggled against Strider throughout his career, going 0-6 with two strikeouts. Muncy is easily on his hottest stretch of the season with a five-game hitting streak being his prior high-water mark, making this current streak seem very unsustainable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Now he&#8217;s facing an ace that he has had zero success against in the past. The HRR number is lower than the 1.5 we are accustomed to, but we get +125 odds with Strider on the mound.<\/p>\n\n<h3>First Pitch | MLB Betting Preview for August 31<\/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.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Lance Lynn is 10-9 with a 5.56 ERA and 170 strikeouts across 150.2 innings of work.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/eV9dQ7N78HM\n<p class=\"p1\">Lynn has won the head-to-head matchup with Ozuna thus far, holding him to 3-19 with no home runs. However, Ozuna was 1-8 against Kyle Freeland prior to hitting a two-run bomb against him last night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Lynn has also allowed 34 home runs which is the most of any pitcher in majors. Ozuna is obviously a power hitter and is on track to set a career best number. We will set the matchup aside in this one and ride the hot bat in a potential NLCS preview.<\/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: Max Muncy Under 0.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+125)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy is batting .208 with 31 home runs and 88 RBI across 462 plate appearances during the 2023 regular season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Muncy is currently on a 9-game hitting streak, clearing this Hits + Runs + RBI total in each game. Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Strider currently has the 2nd best odds to win the National League Cy Young with a 15-4 record, 3.46 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 236 strikeouts across 153.1 innings of work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Strider has been lights out in his last three outings with only a solo run allowed across 21 innings while striking out 25.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Muncy has struggled against Strider throughout his career, going 0-6 with two strikeouts. Muncy is easily on his hottest stretch of the season with a five-game hitting streak being his prior high-water mark, making this current streak seem very unsustainable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Now he's facing an ace that he has had zero success against in the past. The HRR number is lower than the 1.5 we are accustomed to, but we get +125 odds with Strider on the mound.<\/p>\n\n<h3>First Pitch | MLB Betting Preview for August 31<\/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.
