ATS.io - Sports Betting Talk Radio

Host Adam Burke opened up the show with a version of The Bettor’s Box, his MLB betting podcast. We’ll have those on Mondays and Thursdays over the baseball season, so it stands to reason that we’d start a little bit now, especially with Brad Powers taking a bit of a leave of absence from the show. Adam talked about the PECOTA projections that came out earlier this week, the function that they serve for him, and how much impact they have on his handicapping. He also discussed injury updates in Spring Training to this point and the debacle that is the Houston Astros.
