Miami Marlins @ New York Yankees:
New York Yankees (- 1.5) /// 2.30
Last bet lost. Phoenix unexpectedly lost to New Orleans. The Pelicans were hustling and the incredible performance of McCollum and Jose Alvarado allowed New Orleans to expect a win. What was missing for Phoenix? I don't know. Yes, Booker didn't hit any three-point shots, was passive on defense, and had 7 assists to 4 turnovers. But Phoenix's main problem was the bench, where players like Royce O'Neale, Drew Eubanks, Bol Bol and Eric Gordon played very badly, hitting only 3 shots on 12 attempts. My betting scores are NBA 73-80 in favor of the unsuccessful, MLB 30-27 in favor of the successful, NHL 2-3 in favor of the unsuccessful, NFL 3-8 in favor of the unsuccessful.
New bet: New York Yankees at home will comfortably beat Miami Marlins by 2 points or more. There is a break in the NBA, and that means that today I officially start the 2nd season of my MLB predictions! And we'll start with high
odds, of course! The Yankees started the regular season with an 8-2 record and are in 1st place in the American League. Marlins, on the other hand, have completely failed the start and their record is 1-9. Of those 9 losses, Miami has lost 8 of them by 2 points or more. 7 times in their last 15 games against each other the Yankees have beaten the Marlins by 2 points or more. But for such high odds, this is a playable bet. Miami's starting pitcher will be Jesus Luzardo. He got 7 runs in 3.1 innings last season in a game against Yankees. I expect to see something similar in this game. In 2021, Jesus Luzardo played only 0.1 innings against Yankees and got an immediate 3-run home run. This season he played against the Angels and got 3 runs in 5.1 innings. I expect a fail for Luzardo or 2-3 runs in at least the first 4 innings. Bet? Absolutely!
