It was a busy weekend in the baseball world with lots of offense and more talk and analysis about what is happening with the substance crackdown and spin rates. Host Adam Burke was on top of all of it on this edition of The Bettor’s Box to talk about spin rates, how to analyze and handicap them, some red flags in the tracking of spin rates, strength of schedule discrepancies, and a preview of the week ahead.

Host Adam Burke was back to start off a new week of baseball coverage with this edition of The Bettor’s Box. It started with the major talking point of the week, as this is the week that Major League Baseball cracks down on those found to be using foreign substances on the baseball. Adam talked about how to handicap what we’re seeing, what to do and what not to do, and how it could impact the game going forward.
After running through a list of recent spin rate decreases, including some caveats and red flags within the data, Adam took a look at teams with some good opportunities to win games based on the schedule and looked at some team records against good teams and bad teams to see if they are some actionable angles based on the strength of schedule upcoming. Lastly, a pick for Monday and previews of Braves vs. Mets, Astros vs. Orioles, Dodgers vs. Padres, and Red Sox vs. Rays wrapped up the show.
Join Adam on Tuesday with Brian Blessing to talk NHL Playoffs, Travelers Championship, and NASCAR at Pocono.
