On this episode of “Trend or Trap?” for Wednesday’s MLB slate, Miami Marlins take on the Minnesota Twins and Dan Karpuc breaks down whether fading Minnesota when Simeon Woods Richardson starts is a profitable trend worth following — or a trap bettors should avoid.

The numbers are ugly: the Twins are just 1-7 straight up in Woods Richardson’s starts this season, while opposing teams have produced a 7-1 SU record with nearly 50% ROI. Dan dives into Woods Richardson’s recent performances, alarming Baseball Savant metrics, and why his profile currently grades out among the weakest in baseball.

On the other side, Max Meyer has emerged as a breakout arm for Miami, posting elite underlying metrics and giving the Marlins a major edge on the mound.

Is this another “Patrick Corbin Day”-style fade spot? Dan explains why he’s backing Miami and why this trend is one to tail.

Tuesday’s edition of Trend or Trap features three system-backed bets across MLB, NBA and NHL. Dan Karpuc breaks down why fading Patrick Corbin continues to be one of the most profitable betting angles in baseball as the Rays face the Blue Jays, why the Spurs are in a prime bounce-back playoff spot against the Timberwolves, and why the Ducks have value in a pivotal Game 5 against Vegas.

📊 Featured Trends:
⚾ Teams priced -110 to -170 vs. Patrick Corbin: 52-20 SU since 2020
🏀 Large playoff favorites off a loss with major win percentage edge: 50-15 ATS over the last 23 years
🏒 Road teams in Game 5 as short favorites/underdogs: 67-51 SU over the last 18 years

Trend or Trap? returns with a loaded slate across the MLB, NHL and NBA Playoffs as Dan Karpuc breaks down three betting trends that all point toward value on Wednesday's card.

First, Dan explains why fading Patrick Corbin has become a yearly tradition, as the Rays look to cash against the struggling Blue Jays left-hander. With Tampa Bay sending ace Shane McClanahan to the mound and Toronto continuing to scuffle offensively, the numbers heavily support the Rays.

Then, the focus shifts to the Stanley Cup Playoffs where the Ducks try to bounce back after a Game 1 loss in Vegas. Despite the defeat, Anaheim controlled much of the play statistically and now fits a profitable long-term playoff underdog trend that has crushed sportsbooks for the last decade.

Finally, Dan dives into Knicks vs. 76ers Game 2 at Madison Square Garden. Can the Knicks continue their playoff dominance against an exhausted Joel Embiid and Philadelphia squad? Historical Game 2 trends say yes — and Dan explains why the matchup strongly favors New York once again.

Featured trends:
⚾ Rays ML vs. Blue Jays
🏒 Ducks ML at Golden Knights
🏀 Knicks -7 vs. 76ers Game 2

Dan Karpuc breaks down three of the most fascinating betting angles on Tuesday’s slate in another episode of Trend or Trap? from TrendsCenter.

We start in MLB, where a shocking 8-0 system tied to Shohei Ohtani as a heavy favorite puts the underdog in the spotlight in Dodgers vs. Astros—but is it too good to be true? Dan explains why he’s fading the trend despite its perfect record.

Next, it’s the NHL playoffs as the Colorado Avalanche look to build on a dominant Game 1 performance against the Minnesota Wild. With strong historical data backing Colorado as a favorite, Dan breaks down why this is a trend worth riding—and how to approach it from a betting perspective.

Finally, we head to the NBA playoffs where the Oklahoma City Thunder are massive favorites against the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1. Backed by a powerful playoff system and dominant matchup edges, Dan makes the case for laying the points with OKC in a potential blowout.

Three games. Three trends. But which ones can you trust?

Tune in to find out what’s real—and what’s a trap.
