Triple Play All-Access Baseball Pass – Includes 5% Best Bets – ONLY $49!

For a limited time, get every baseball play from your favorite handicapper for three full days — and any 5% Best Bets released — for just $49. That's only $16.33 per day for every premium baseball release your handicapper posts. You'll receive instant access the moment plays are released, ensuring you get the best possible number before the lines move.

Individually, these plays would cost well over $100, but the Triple Play All-Access Pass gives you three days of nonstop baseball action for less than half the price. As a bonus, if your handicapper releases any college or international selections during your access window — including College Baseball, KBO (Korea) or NPB (Japan) — those are included at no extra charge. Don't miss a single first pitch — lock in your Triple Play All-Access Pass today and start cashing tickets!

*Access includes all MLB selections and any college/international baseball released and played during your 3-day window.

Last Call for Summer: Buy 3, Get 3 FREE — Just $69

Keep the momentum going into August with double the access for the same low price. For a limited time, lock in 6 full days of All-Access for just $69 — the price of a 3-day pass. That's twice the coverage at zero extra cost.

You'll get every pick, in every sport, from your chosen handicapper for the entire access window.

  • 6 full days of picks, pay for only 3
  • Full access to all sports released
  • Includes any Top Rated 5% Best Bets
  • Stack multiple passes to extend your coverage even further

Whether you're planning ahead for the stretch run or just want more bang for your buck, this is the easiest way to maximize value this month. Offer ends August 31.

Get the Rest of the Year for $799 - Save $696!

One price locks in every sport your handicapper covers, all the way through December 31, 2026, 5% Best Bets included.

No monthly renewals. Pay once, and every play your handicapper releases from now through New Year's Eve is yours.

And the calendar is just getting started. Look at everything still ahead:

  • College Football opens August 29
  • NFL kicks off September 9
  • NHL returns September 29
  • NBA tips off October 20
  • College Basketball is back on November 1

You get every sport your handicapper covers, straight through the end of the year.

Paid month to month, the rest of this season runs $1,495. Lock it in now for $799 and save $696, about 47% off the pay-monthly cost.

Here's the catch. The price stays $799, but the season keeps shrinking. Every week you wait, that same $799 covers fewer games. The sooner you lock in, the more football, hoops, and hockey you get for your money.

(919) Detroit Tigers at (920) Seattle Mariners: Bryan Woo Strikeouts
9:40pm EDT - Aug 5/2026

THE PLAY: Bryan Woo Strikeouts Under 6.5 (-131) Home Listed Pitcher Must Start

(919) Detroit Tigers at (920) Seattle Mariners: Bryan Woo Strikeouts

1.5% Bryan Woo Strikeouts Under 6.5 (-131) Home Listed Pitcher Must Start

Bryan Woo Performance Analysis:

  • Significant Recent Regression: While Bryan Woo carries a season-long 4.56 ERA and 1.147 WHIP through 21 starts, his performance has sharply declined recently. Over his 4 July starts, he has struggled with a bloated 6.43 ERA, suggesting he is finding it increasingly difficult to navigate through lineups.

  • Inability to Limit Hits: A major factor in his recent slide is his .322 opponent batting average during the month of July. Allowing hits at such a high frequency has made it nearly impossible for him to provide length for the rotation.

  • Longevity Concerns: Woo’s lack of efficiency has directly impacted his durability on the mound. He has failed to reach his projected outs total in 4 of his last 6 starts.

Detroit Tigers Performance Analysis:

  • Historic Offensive Hot Streak: The Tigers enter this matchup as the most productive offenses in baseball. Over the past 7 games, Detroit is hitting a staggering .333 average as a unit.

  • Elite Run Production: This contact quality has translated into an explosion on the scoreboard, as the Tigers have averaged a massive 9.7 runs per game during this recent stretch.

  • Relentless Base Traffic: Detroit has been a nightmare for opposing pitchers lately, averaging an incredible 17.8 hits and walks per game. This high volume of baserunners is a direct threat to a starter like Woo, who is already surrendering a .322 average this month.

Consultant Bio

MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW HIM @JMSportsCLE

Yet another handicapper from the Cleveland area following Marc Lawrence, Phil Steele, Ralph Michaels, Ed Meyer, and Bryan Leonard. In fact, Jeff's hunger for handicapping began at a young age, being surrounded by parents who made sports betting a daily routine. Jeff then worked for both North Coast Sports and Phil Steele Publications, learning the intricacies of sports betting and becoming a profitable handicapper. Throughout his college years, Jeff's mathematical and analytical prowess helped him develop a betting strategy that turned sports betting into a profitable venture.

Jeff now joins the Sports Memo Marketplace after selling picks on several small sites. Jeff handicaps the traditional sports of NFL, CFB, the NBA, College Basketball, and MLB while showing real prowess in the WNBA. He has dominated the teaser market and has spent a lot of his focus on sides. While also adding in a share of props (especially NFL & MLB), as well as totals.
