The second half of the MLB season begins on Friday after the All-Star break concludes. The entire league has played more than half of the season now. At the beginning of the season, I wrote about 10 pitchers I was looking to potentially bet on this year, thinking that the market would be underrating their true talent or ERA projections.
A handful of notable and expected aces had poor starts to the 2023 season, from Sandy Alcantara to Corbin Burnes to Aaron Nola and Alek Manoah. The market catches on to the breakouts and the disappointments, but changes in velocity, stuff and underlying projections can provide value going forward betting on and against certain starters.
Here are seven potentially undervalued pitchers I'm looking to bet on in the remainder of 2023.
For each pitcher, I've also included their record and ROI (for a $100 bettor) if you had bet on them in each start so far in the 2023 season. Data for that is provided by BetLabs.
