The first couple turns through the rotation after the All-Star break can be challenging handicaps. Pitchers make starts on an inordinate amount of rest. Teams may skip starters depending on how the schedule shakes out, which might leave someone with one start in the span of 14+ days.
Looking to fade pitchers with iffy control is the best course of action with this betting angle. Pitchers who struggle to throw strikes are probably prone to being erratic with long layoffs, so that may be an angle you can take advantage of at this time of the season.
Here are a few other betting angles we can hopefully take advantage of in this week’s Regression Report.
