Key Stats and Trends That Impact MLB Betting
Baseball betting requires a keen understanding of various underlying factors. Elements such as pitcher statistics, bullpen deployment, travel itineraries, weather conditions, and park characteristics play a significant role. Additionally, nuanced metrics like hard-hit rates and a team's on-base plus slugging (OPS) against different pitching styles can affect results. Monitoring these trends can provide a competitive advantage, and we possess the data to support this analysis.

Player News
Xander Bogaerts is not in the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Giants.
Bogaerts left Wednesday’s game with left shoulder soreness, and the 32-year-old will get another day of rest at least before being inserted back in the starting lineup. Jose Iglesias will be the fill-in with Bogaerts unavailable.
Rockies optioned RHP Angels Chivilli to Triple-A Albquerque.
Chivilli was only with the Rockies for two games before being demoted. The Rockies will announce a corresponding move before Friday’s game.
Francisco Lindor is not in the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Dodgers.
Lindor doesn’t get many days off, but he’ll get a chance to rest for the series finale against Los Angeles. With the 31-year-old getting a break, Luisangel Acuna will handle shortstop duties and hit ninth.
Colts coach Shane Steichen said Anthony Richardson suffered a shoulder injury and will not participate in minicamp next week.
Richardson aggravated the AC joint in his throwing shoulder, which he had surgery on in 2023. Per Steichen, he won’t undergo surgery at this time. Steichen said he expects Richardson back “at some point” in training camp. It’s a nightmare scenario for the young passer. On top of the obvious risk that the injury becomes a long-term issue, Richardson missing crucial reps in the offseason will put him behind the eight ball to win the starting job. All signs have pointed to his competition with Daniel Jones being a legitimate one and now the latter will get more time to win over the coaches. Jones has to be considered the favorite to start Week 1 at this point, making Richardson undraftable in most fantasy formats.
John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports the Suns “100 percent” don’t want Bradley Beal to return.
Gambadoro described Beal as “untradable” and relayed that the Suns could be stuck with the 31-year-old shooting guard if he doesn’t accept a buyout this offseason. Phoenix is a team in transition with another new coach and Kevin Durant seemingly on the move. Gambadoro also reported that the Suns haven’t had any discussions about trading Durant recently, contradicting a recent report in the Athletic.
FOX NFL’s Jordan Schultz reports it “remains to be seen” if Terry McLaurin will attend mandatory minicamp.
Per Schultz, McLaurin is “frustrated with the lack of progress on a long-term deal.” McLaurin originally showed up at voluntary OTAs but abruptly left, putting his discontent with the situation on full display. He is now entering a contract year and little progress has been made on getting him a new deal. Coming off a 13-touchdown season that saw him form an instant connection with rookie passer Jayden Daniels, McLaurin has more than earned an extension of some kind. Whether the Commanders can meet his demands is up in the air. Deebo Samuel will get more work with Daniels for as long as McLaurin remains away from the team, giving him a chance at usurping McLaurin as the team’s top receiving option. Likely facing some amount of touchdown regression already, McLaurin is becoming an increasingly risky fantasy pick.
