MLB Betting: Baseball Expert Previews NL MVP

Baseball expert Jordan Duffy, a fantasy MLB expert, previews the NL MVP in his debut article. Odds are at MyBookie and Bovada

With a 60-game season, ​many things become much more of a crapshoot. ​ ​The NL MVP was already going to be tricky to predict prior to COVID-19. Will an established, perennial all-star like Betts or Yelich win? Could Bellinger repeat his 2019? Or will a young phenom like Acuña or Soto rise above the competition?

With the small sample size of 60 games, what would normally be an ​insignificant ​hot/cold streak could be the difference between winning the MVP and not even being in the conversation.

My pick

Christian Yelich +700

I know what you are probably thinking: did you forget that Mookie Betts was traded to the Dodgers? No, I did not. ​Mookie Betts is the overwhelming favorite to win MVP after leaving Mike Trout’s shadow in the American League, but I decided to go with a bolder decision in Christian Yelich.

I went with Yelich as he is the superior offensive player, while Betts is more well-rounded. Although voters have become a lot better about considering every aspect of the game in recent years, defensive statistics are notoriously volatile and in a shortened season, voters will likely put a larger emphasis on offense.

There’s no question that Yelich is the real deal. Following his 2018 MVP campaign, Yelich put up another MVP caliber season in 2019 (and he likely would have repeated had a broken kneecap not cut his season short). His peripherals also have supported the results: 99th percentile for xwOBA and xSLG, and 98th percentile for xAVG and Exit Velocity, according to Statcast.

Honorable Mention: Mookie Betts (duh)

Big name ​to be avoid: Cody Bellinger

Cody Bellinger is coming off a huge year, ​which goes without saying considering he is the reigning MVP. Having just turned 25, he looks very appealing at first glance; however, his stats were heavily inflated by a very hot start.

Bellinger finished 2019 with 7.8 fWAR—tied with Yelich for the NL best—but 3.8 (~49%) of it came during his first 46 games. That was 1.0 fWAR ahead of Yelich, who ranked second at the time.

In his remaining 110 games, he played much more like the Cody Bellinger we had seen in previous years. Although still very good, it’s not MVP material. He put up 4.0 fWAR—which was good for 18th in the MLB and 9th in the NL in that timespan. He slashed .263/.373/.562 for a wRC+ of 136.

Those numbers closely reflect his career numbers prior to 2019: ​.263/.347/.522 and a wRC+ of 128.

Washington Redskins Next Name Revealed! You Can Bet It’s a Lock

Let’s not kid ourselves. It’s not a matter of if, but when and to what the Washington Redskins will change their name to. Odds are from SportsBetting and all odds based on $100 per bet. Hence +1000 would be the same as 10-1.

The Presidents seems like a logical favorite. Some media organizations have suggested Warriors, which is illogical considering Marquette changed their name from that because of the alleged negative connotation. Rule out the Jeffersons. Unless we are talking about George and Weezy, protesters have already targeted Thomas Jefferson statues, so that name is all but certain to be ruled out. No chance on Roosevelts either.

The Kings, in honor of Martin Luther King, is the pick at 5-1. The pressure from the NFL will be enormous. Pandering or not, that is the most likely choice and the official bet of OffshoreInsiders.com

Washington NFL Team Next Mascot Name
Presidents +300
Generals +400
Lincolns +400
Americans +500
Kings +500

Empty Stadiums And Arenas Will Widen Gap Between Sharp and Square Betttors

Sports are coming back. I think. Well, I hope.

My handicapping is evidence informed validated with statistically meaningful proof. Most sports will conduct business on home fields, as opposed to the NBA and NHL, which will compete in bubble situations and hub cities. But the stadiums and arenas will be played absent of fans for the foreseeable future.

Indubitably, the definitive gambling issue is how will this affect many of our systems that are site explicit? On one hand, would could argue the absence of fans reduces HFA (home field advantage). Conversely, the unprecedented world situation should make the comfort of home, security of sleeping in one’s own bed, that much more considerable.

My educated opinion is there won’t be a big change in HFA. Most likely, there will be gross overreaction. Sites like Covers and Action Network will tell us statistically irrelevant minutia like the road team has covered seven of the first 10 games. Heck, on Twitter, I might too. I often like the I report, you decide method on my sports handicapping podcasts.

The citizenry is sure to pursue fool’s gold and ride early patterns. We will stay on course. Fortunately, our famed “math totals,” innovative principles that cross sports, are not site specific.

I am going to track patterns possibly shifting due to the uniqueness of the situation. Do not misinterpret that I will neglect the extraordinary circumstances. However, I am not going to induce knee-jerk amendments. Keep in mind, my advanced analytics measure oddsmaker over-adjustments and their reaction to the public outsmarting themselves. And that’s where my biggest edge will be.

From one of the greatest movies off all-time, It’s a Wonderful Life, Peter Bailey says, “Can’t you understand what’s happening here? Don’t you see what’s happening? Potter isn’t selling. Potter’s buying! And why? Because we’re panicky and he’s not. That’s why. He’s pickin’ up some bargains.”

There is a very good chance that will accurately describe my winnings in these exceptional circumstances.
