MLB Spring Training Notebook - February 23rd

Welcome to the 2021 edition of RotoBaller's Spring Training Notebook. I began this column a year ago, and made it about four or five articles in when Major League Baseball decided to shut things down, just like everything else around the globe, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We've at least made it through the first […]

NFL Betting Picks For Wild Card Weekend - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Week 17 was a fitting end to a strange 2017 season. Tampa Bay almost hit the total themselves, proving my under to be the wrong play. However, the Raiders backed it up by taking control late in the first half to easily cash the -1 spread. Overall it was a negative season in terms of […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 17 (1/3/2021) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

I missed out on getting any Week 16 plays out. No pity parties on my end, just too many other real-life issues getting in the way over the past few weeks that took priority. Things have slowed down on that front, so I figured I might as well try and close off the regular season […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 15 (12/20/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

The beginning of Week 14 was a positive one, and then things went downhill quick...in both football and in life. Had a few family emergencies over the last 5-7 days and that's taken a toll on my mental state as 2020 seems to be getting worse before it gets better but I'll leave it at […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 14 (12/13/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Not the greatest return to action in Week 13. New Orleans took care business, covering the -2.5 against the Falcons. However we had a straight up clunker by the Chargers against the Patriots. The Raiders and Jets turned into a shootout, where the Jets almost took down their first win. In the end, bad defenses […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 13 (12/6/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

I'm back and ready to roll! Life through the last two weeks had been throwing me a lot of curveballs, including having to postpone my wedding due to COVID. It was a very difficult decision but the right one, given the state of our country recently fighting the pandemic. A huge shoutout to my personal […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 10 (11/15/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Seattle saved our Week 9 in a comeback effort in Buffalo. Washington was in a great spot against an inferior team and totally wet the bed. Meanwhile Miami and Arizona engaged in a shootout that I flat was not expecting. In a bit of a rough patch currently, but still just around even in terms […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 9 (11/8/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Well last week couldn't have been much worse. Weather played a major factor in what I thought was the easiest pick of the week (LV/Cle over). The Rams totally dropped the ball against Miami, getting throttled on the road. Even aside from my bets in the article, it was the worst NFL week I have […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 8 (11/1/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Week 7 was again off to a 2-0 start thanks to Green Bay winning by two-plus scores. Meanwhile, Kansas City nearly doubled the point total Vegas had them listed at. Then Seattle had to come in and ruin the week during Sunday Night Football in an overtime thriller, losing outright to the Cardinals. This is […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 7 (10/25/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

We had a solid 2-0 start last week after Detroit and Tampa bay did what they needed to do. Then I put too much trust in Andy Dalton to lead a new team and he let us down substantially. Dallas is in real trouble here if he can't figure it out, and that's a terrible […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 6 (10/18/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

As fans, we had our emotions played with in Week 5 a bit. There were several COVID-19 cases that made their way around the league, but in turn, we only had one game moved. In our games, Arizona was ready to hit the over themselves, but they pulled back and took it easy on the […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 5 (10/11/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

We took care of some business in Week 4, going 2-1, with the loss being a disappointing one. Baltimore took care of business, although a bad no-call on a would-be Marquise Brown touchdown made it a little more a sweat than need be. Jacksonville and Cincinnati covered the over with ease, and that was after […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 4 (10/4/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Woah baby did we have some sweats going on in Week 3, but we earned a sweep that will hopefully set the tone for the rest of the season. While this is without a doubt the most unprecedented season of my lifetime, the NFL will do everything they can to keep the train from derailing. […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 3 (9/27/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Week 2 brought along one of the worst, in terms of injuries, that we've seen in a long time. It didn't quite affect my picks, but Christian McCaffrey going down definitely made things hard for Carolina down the stretch. Green Bay almost hit the over themselves, so that was an easy cash. Then Sunday Night […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 2 (9/20/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Man what an odd first week of the season. Arizona not only covered the seven points, but beat the NFC Champions outright on their home field. Carolina had some mishaps offensively and weren't able to contain Josh Jacobs, losing by four points, just missing the cover. Meanwhile, the Cowboys and the Rams couldn't do anything […]

NFL Betting Picks for Week 1 (9/13/2020)

Never have I experienced a summer where it doesn't feel like the NFL season is about to begin. We all know why this year feels so different, but regardless, we have football! No one truly knows what to expect, but I think the product on the field is going to take a few weeks to […]

Tuesday was a bad day and my plays weren't even close. It's one of those days where you just shake your head and move forward. I took Wednesday off to recuperate my brain and am ready for this Thursday slate to take us into the weekend. Tuesday, Aug. 31: 0-2 (-2 units) 2020 Season Total: […]

MLB Betting Picks (9/1/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Last week ended on a weird note for our MLB betting articles, as there were many games that were postponed due to the boycotts around the league. Vegas was waiting until nearly 10am EST to post lines and that made it tough for me personally to get anything out, but I did get some plays […]

MLB Betting Picks (8/26/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

We had the expected fireworks in the Boston/Toronto game. Meanwhile Cincinnati got out to an early lead, but they blew it just as quickly and couldn't score again. Luis Castillo pitched pretty well, but he couldn't get the run support needed, so he drops to 0-4. One of those days where it was essentially one-pitch-away […]

MLB Betting Picks (8/25/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

We left last week off on a great note hitting two overs for the best day that I had in over a week. Things have been pretty rocky thus far but I'm starting to get more comfortable, and hopefully my records begin to reflect that. We're entering the halfway point of the season for some […]

MLB Betting Picks (8/21/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

I wasn’t able to get anything out on Thursday and I’m ok with it because I didn’t really like any of the games anyway. So we’ll start the weekend off with a pair of games that I think I found a nice edge on. Wednesday, Aug 19th: 1-1 (-.17 units) 2020 Season Total: 12-17-2 (-5.96 […]

MLB Betting Picks (8/19/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

The Braves did exactly as I expected by scoring five runs on Austin Voth, but the Nationals turned back around and had one big inning against the Atlanta bullpen and that was all that was needed. Then we had some fireworks in the Philly/Boston game once the Phillies dropped seven runs in the sixth inning, […]

MLB Betting Picks (8/18/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

I'm back for another week of MLB slates. We continue to have COVID looming over the league, but so far-so good (fingers crossed). Personally, I've been having a tough time getting a grip on lines around the league and have been on a bit of a rough patch. I continue to read and research and […]

MLB Betting Picks (8/14/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Baltimore continued their hot hitting by tagging Jake Arrieta for four runs before dropping seven more on the Phillies bullpen, easily cashing the over themselves. Then the Padres got off to a hot start with two home runs in their first at-bat. However, the Dodgers came out stronger, scoring all of their 11 runs in […]

MLB Betting Picks (8/13/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Things definitely started off on the wrong foot when Miami scored eight runs in the first three innings, completely destroying the F5 under. I don't regret that play, Nate Pearson just got pounded. However, Minnesota made things better, beating the over themselves and early. The Twins are certainly a dangerous offense but this was just […]

MLB Betting Picks (8/12/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Woof, maybe I need to go back to the KBO (/s). The Bal/Phi under was safe until the bottom of the eighth, after which 11 runs were scored into extra innings. What a debacle. Later on, the Rangers were able to tag Marco Gonzales for four runs early, but they didn't score after he left […]

MLB Betting Picks (8/11/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

We're here for a new week and things around the league are starting to take shape. Through each game, we're able to start putting more substance behind 2020 numbers, while weening ourselves off of 2019 totals. I've certainly been very up-and-down capping games thus far, with last week ending on a rough note. Friday, August […]

MLB Betting Picks (8/7/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Things didn’t go our way Thursday. Our F5 under was smooth sailing until the bottom of the fourth when the A’s tacked on four runs, giving them five total. Then Milwaukee’s offense decided to come alive, while getting a great effort from Josh Lindblom. I have no regrets in the plays, they just didn’t work […]
