Last Week's Results

One of the biggest money-makers this MLB season has been the "under 2" play on a player's total hits, runs and RBI in any particular game. Through last weekend's games, The Prop Machine has gone 25-5 on these selections for a return of $7,460.

This past week it turned most of its attention to the over and under on a starter's total number of strikeouts. The end result was 5-2 record on seven selections. If a $100 bettor went with the recommended unit play on all seven of these picks they would have walked away with a profit of $960.

Recent Trends

Recent trends are often times a valuable gateway to future results. The Prop Machine has made an art and a science of studying tendencies, especially has they pertain to MLB starting pitchers and the types of pitches they throw. These tendencies can then be matched up against the batting lineup they will face in their next start to help handicap an actual outcome. This type of deep analysis can be extremely time consuming, but the return on investment is well worth the effort.

For example, Kansas City pitcher Jake Odorizzi has recorded strikes on 22.1 percent of swings taken against his fastball this season. This is the second-highest rate among pitchers who have thrown at least 1,000 fastballs.
