| MLB | Arizona Diamondbacks under 67.5 Season Wins | 5:02pm EST - Feb 7/2023 |
The PLAY: Arizona Diamondbacks under 67.5 Season Wins
The Diamondbacks finished last season at the bottom of the standings, not only the basement of the NL West, tied for the worst record in baseball at 52-110. If that is not bad enough, the DBacks were down -40 units on the year and were over 22 games behind the 4th place Rockies in the division at season's end. Can this season improve in the desert? Sure. Will it? Likely not 16 games improvement.
The AAA looking lineup with a starting rotation that crowned Madison Bumgarner as the opening day starter is going to be swimming upstream all year long. Bumgarner is a guy I can’t help but root for, however when money is involved he is fade city. The velocity has dropped and so has the performance. The rest of the rotation is mediocre at best. Bullpen might be improved with the addition of Melancon, but preseason bullpen rankings are volatile and the lineups in division are fierce so pump the brakes on the Dbacks late inning success.
The real “value” in the wager comes from the schedule. Just under 60 games this season will be played against the Dodgers, Padres and Giants. The Dbacks went a combined 5-33 against LA and SF. Note- balanced scheduling starts in 2023 (Not this season). When such a large percentage of the scheduling is stacked against them it makes the 16 win increase this season over last season seem very unlikely. I project something in the ballpark of 59-103. Bet under. Let’s cash!

| MLB | (963) Tampa Bay Rays at (964) Toronto Blue Jays | 12:07pm EDT - Jul 2/2022 |
The PLAY: Toronto Blue Jays -130 K Gausman (RHP) Must Start
"Fade the Rays" is the slogan we are rolling with until further notice. That has us on the Blue Jays at home north of the boarder. This year in particular the Jays have likely the biggest home field advantage in all of sports due to the opposition not being able to bring non vaccinated players. Today (and tonight), are more about the Rays injuries holding them back with many of their key bats banged up. McClanahan starting for the Tampa could get em out of this skid, however the talented second year flame thrower has struggled against Toronto, sporting more than a .920 team OPS against in 46 plate appearances. The Rays have been the most profitable team in baseball over the last four years, back to back AL East division champions, secret is out Tampa is a overpriced commodity at this point and we will continue to fade them until something changes. Bet the Jays- Let's cash!

Consultant Bio
With an athletic and financial background, Drew Martin and sports betting were the perfect marriage. After being a standout two-sport athlete in high school, Martin hung up the cleats and decided to focus his attention on a college education. His school of choice was Auburn and he quickly earned a degree in Business Finance and parlayed that into a full-time gig at JP Morgan. During his tenure at the investment bank, Martin spent his nights handicapping and betting on sports and after steadily building his bankroll, felt it was time to move on the next chapter of his life, full-time sports bettor and handicapper. In 2014, Martin joined the Sportsmemo team as the Customer Service Director and a handicapper. His financial background, love of numbers, and firm grasp of what it takes to be a successful sports bettor puts him in a great position for future success. "My focus to sports betting has always been to find a balance between being proactive maintaining a simple fundamental approach. The understanding of teams is paramount, but more important is having the ability to spot their ever-changing value before the betting markets catch on. Every sport, every season, there are plenty of teams that under- and overachieve based on market expectations. Spot a few of them and couple that with a solid, every day handicapping approach, and all of a sudden you're sitting on some real profits." Martin is actively handicapping MLB and USFL.
