Data Driven MLB play for Wednesday: OAK/SEA Under

At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind.

Our data-driven picks use data integration, search and discovery, and knowledge management along with collaboration with our in-house handicappers. By isolating relevant trends, removing human biases, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.

Our models suggest that the value is on the under then Seattle hosts Oakland for the finale of this three-game series. Oakland right-hander Paul Blackburn (4-0, 1.91 ERA) has been one of the hottest pitchers so far, and he has a 1.37 ERA over 26 1/3 innings on the road. Seattle left-hander Robbie Ray (4-4, 4.77 ERA) is coming off a couple of poor outings, but both were on the road. Ray has a 3.70 ERA over 24 1/3 innings of work at home this season and a 2.13 ERA in two career starts against Oakland.
