re: Friday Betting Thread

As it turns out, the game was played on the field in Baltimore, and not on paper, so your best odds pick would've been the A's. You'd have to be more impervious to the logic of reason than the post-WW 2 Soviet Union to make that pick. Nonetheless, that would've been the pick....

Orioles vs. A's is a major mismatch on paper. Burnes is one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball. A's starter is now 0-10 over the past two seasons with an ERA over 5....
I know they're trying to mix it up with the goofball to appeal to a wide audience. But to me, it takes away from what Belichick is good at, which is depth in analysis. And they have too many people on the set. I'd be more interested if they just let BB get into deeper analysis, and his opinions on s...

It's not a "good look" for McClain. He parroted a line that Lanning used for a pregame speech against Colorado. The receipts are obviously a reference to his inconsistencies in preparation. If he wants a fresh start, move forward. Don't parrot lines to take shots at your former team for a narrati...
I saw that the Bucks beat the Pacers by 15 last night without Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks were 1-4 during the regular season against the Pacers with him. -18 (626-644) with him, +15 without him. ?????? If you look at some of the games Wembanyama missed, the Spurs did better against some opp...

Steals are defense numbers. I'm just going to leave out my opinion that you'd attempt to say otherwise. I also linked other numbers from NBA.com. (That's what I referred to when I said he ranked in the top of the NBA in those categories on Hustle Leaders. If you choose to ignore that, then that...

Milam hits well when he leads off an inning. Leadoff hitter seems it would be a good fit for the monster. Someone needs to get him some sunflower seeds so he's able to keep his nails....

LSU bats started heating up yesterday, and Holman is pitching today. (Not advice.)...
Oh, the "DRIP". The made-up formula that assigns an individual score weighted heavily by team totals when the individual is on the floor. You may think they're doing some advanced analytics, but no. That is just the simplest way to assign a generalized value to a player that puts a number on count...
I found some more defensive numbers for Trae Young. NBA.com tracks some stats called [link=(https://www.nba.com/stats/players/hustle-leaders)]Hustle Leaders[/link]. Young is ranked 14th in the league in charges drawn per game, and 33rd in the league in deflections per game. That puts him above 90...
And 72 steals is a major contribution to defense. Some of the discrediting narratives going around about Young are about turnovers. Those are highly invalid. (And for more on that, he has a better career assist to turnover ratio than LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Allen Iverson.) He gets tu...
Young's per game steals (1.33) this past season were better than Jimmy Butler (1.32), Anthony Edwards (1.28), Kyrie Irving (1.28), LeBron James (1.25), Jrue Holiday (0.88), Bam Adebayo (1.14), Steph Curry (0.73), and almost all NBA players. He was somewhere in the top 15-20 range in the NBA for ste...
Young has a better career assist to turnover ratio than Steph Curry and Russell Westbrook, while averaging more combined points and assists than both. The volume on points and assists is astronomical. When a player is doing that much, there's more leeway on turnovers. E.g., Caitlin Clark. She averag...
[quote]Trae Young[/quote] Two consecutive years over 25 points per game and 10 assists per game. (The three years prior, he went over 25 and 9.) Seven players in NBA history have been at/above these averages for a season. Three players have done it multiple times. Oscar Robertson (5), Russ...
