"Howlin' Wolves" -- Pointspreads' Daily Betting Notes: Sunday, Mar. 14th
Betting Stat of the Day: The Minnesota Timberwolves are a team to fade right now. They're just 7-30 straight up this season. Even worse, they've lost 14 of 16 and 24 of their last 29 contests. They're also on a woeful 2-9 run against the spread.
Bet of the Day Update: Our complimentary BET OF THE DAY lost yesterday. In the English Premier League, Chelsea couldn't find the net vesus Leeds and settled for a scoreless draw. Following Saturday's disappointing outcome, that marks a 10-4 run on our last 14 free plays. Over the last month, our BET OF THE DAY has gone a very respectable 24-10 on the daily selections.
Major League Baseball
Major League Baseball has reached the midway point of training camps and exhibition games. We're slightly more than two weeks away from opening day, April 1st.
As we've posted here before, it remains profitable to bet on hot teams that appear to take the games more seriously than opponents. The Kansas City Royals have been the best exmaple of this, going 10-3, inclouding multiple wins as an underdog. The reigning world champion Los Angeles Dodgers lead the Cactus League at 7-3. Conversely, the Chicago White Sox, Baltimore Orioles, and Houston Astros are a combined 9-28 in the exhibition season and are probably good teams to fade the rest of the way when the price is right.
