Underdog betting: July 24 picks
- Home/road pitcher splits give the Twins a secret advantage
- Rookie Rick Porcello was underrated, now overrated
- Hometown hero Ryan Newman can snake the All-State 400 from the favorites
MLB underdog picks: Twins over Angels
Sunday, July 26, 3:35 p.m. ET
The key to finding good underdog picks is exploiting bad splits for pitchers who look good on paper. At face value, the Angels are a good betting pick on Sunday, as they send well-known Ervin Santana to the mound at home against no-namer Anthony Swarzak. However, Santana has been atrocious at home this season, going 0-3 with an 11.95 ERA, while Swarzak pitches best on the road, sporting a 2.55 ERA this season. Relying on relative unknown hurler against a top team, the Twins should give you great underdog betting value on Sunday.
MLB underdog picks: White Sox over Tigers
Sunday, July 26, 8:05 p.m. ET
At first glance, this MLB betting pick probably seems crazy. Should you really trust shaky young hurler Clayton Richard on the road against the first-place Tigers? Well, for one, Richard may not be a “shaky” pitcher much longer; he has the talent to become something special and proved that in his last start when he held the potent Rays to one run in eight innings. His counterpart, Detroit rookie Rick Porcello, started the season strong but has struggled mightily this month with a 9.00 ERA. He’s prone to the long ball and he faces a Chicago lineup packed with home-run hitters, so he should get beat up on Sunday. Bet on the White Sox to pull off the road upset.
NASCAR underdog picks: Ryan Newman to win All-State 400
Sunday, July 26, 2:19 p.m. ET
In a race featuring big favorites and former champs like Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon and Indiana native Tony Stewart, we’re recommending...Ryan Newman? Well, he’s a nice NASCAR betting value at +2000, he’s also an Indiana native, and he’s driving the best car he’s ever had. His average Indy finish of 4.9 is also best among active drivers. Still think he’s an insane underdog betting pick?
