Host Adam Burke took listeners into The Bettor’s Box to chat about some pitchers to have your eye on once the baseball season actually rolls around. Adam took a look at some of the biggest ERA-FIP discrepancies out there from 2019 and talked about why they are a thing and what they mean going forward.

These are names that you’ll want to file away for the start of the season and also for your fantasy baseball drafts when you are eyeing those pitchers in the later rounds. Adam looked at potential positive regression candidates and potential negative regression candidates based on the statistics from last year. Write these names down and keep them in mind. We’ll be talking about a lot more of them as we go forward.

With so much uncertainty out there in the sports world and in the world in general, it can be a little bit tricky to figure out what to focus on in a betting sense. Surprisingly, that wasn’t the case on today’s edition of The Bettor’s Box, our MLB betting podcast. Host Adam Burke had a lot to talk about and a lot of different things to say about what he looks for when betting on baseball and injury updates for Spring Training. Adam discussed which Spring Training stats matter and which ones have some actual use as we head into the regular season. There are a few pitchers that stand out and Adam made sure to mention those and whether or not he believes what he is seeing.
