FOX Sports MLB Betting Analyst

There will be one game 3 in the game MLB Wild Card Round and I will prepare you in terms of betting.

I will guide you through these playoffs by providing you with daily study materials. This homework consists of previewing each game with some bets that I like for the daily list.

It’s the school bell, which means class is back in session!

Here is my favorite bet for Sunday with via odds Bet FOX.

San Diego Padres in New York Mets (7:37 p.m. ET Sunday, ESPN)

I’ll be honest, this pitching matchup might be my favorite of the entire Wild Card round.

Joe Musgrove has always had a strong repertoire, but this season was special.

Run value is a statistic that measures how many runs are typically scored based on runners on base, drives, and the count. These stats can then be broken down into pitching categories, and for pitchers, the lower the run value, the better the pitch.

Musgrove’s hitter ranks 80th among all pitchers, and his four-seven is in the top 100. Chris BassittThe S Sinker is ranked No. 24, and while his other pitches aren’t as highly ranked, he uses a total of six passes to keep hitters guessing. The chess that beginners will play makes me love Under.

CHOICE: Total under 6.5 at FOX Bet
