Doug Upstone Offers Winning MLB Trends + Free Friday Baseball Pick

by Doug Upstone - 6/8/2022

MLB betting trends Ryan Pressly Houston Astros
  • Depending on Pittsburgh's starting pitchers is a problem. Of the Pirates' first 24 wins this season, only four are attributed to the hurler that started the game. The bullpen has the rest of the wins.
     
  • Thanks to the Houston Astros pitching staff, they are an incredible 38-16 UNDER (ties not counted) this season, the best in the big leagues.  
     
  • If you want to understand why the New York Yankees are such a good bet, they can beat you multiple ways. The Yankees are 11-4 in one-run games and 15-2 in contests decided by four or more runs.

     

Free MLB Pick – Take San Diego over Colorado (9:40 p.m., Friday, June 10)

After a good start to the season, Colorado has settled into last place in the NL West, where they are expected to battle Arizona for that spot the rest of the season. The Rockies' start was a mirage as they can no longer cover up the fact that they allow almost six runs per game. Playing at Coors Field covers up a mediocre offense that is 28th in scoring on the road thus far. San Diego is right on the heels of the L.A. Dodgers in the division. And though the ride had been a little bumpy of late for the Padres, they are expected to start the person who can calm the waters in Joe Musgrove. The Friars' right-hander is 6-0, with an incredible 1.64 ERA and a WHIP of 0.92. San Diego has won nine of his 10 starts, and there is little reason to think the Padres won’t topple the Rockies in the series lid-lifter; this pick also has run line potential.

Doug Upstone’s handicapping style by units is more conservative than some other handicappers, but he's a big proponent of “it's not how much you win but how much you keep,” and he doesn't have 23 No. 1 monitored titles, 97 Top 10 finishes and 28 Capper of the Month awards (latest March 2022 for NBA) by accident.
