MLB second-half series betting opportunities
The unofficial second half of the 2023 MLB season starts Friday, and by this time, we know plenty about all the teams, their strengths, weaknesses, and what they might need to improve upon to make a postseason push. Perhaps many of you have already gone about looking forward through the rest of the schedule to see which teams might have the toughest and weakest roads to navigate. I’m here to take it a step further in looking at which head-to-head series’ present the best opportunities for recent trends. I’ve looked at all kinds of angles, team-versus-team, at location, favorite-underdog, home-road, and totals as well. You will see that all of these trends have produced significant R.O.I. figures.
