How to Choose a Handicapper: What to Look For in a Professional


When you’re trying to choose a baseball handicapper to follow, you should consider a few things. First and foremost, obviously, is their performance. But, more than that, you should look at the types of wagers they excel at, and the volume at which they are betting. 

Use these considerations to help you identify a handicapper that’s right for you!

Track Record and Transparency

. Look for a handicapper with a proven track record of success. Check if they provide detailed past results and are transparent about both wins and losses. Consistent long-term success is a key indicator of reliability.

Focus on Specific Betting Markets

Some handicappers excel in specific betting markets (e.g., moneyline, totals, run lines, or props). Choose a handicapper whose expertise aligns with the types of bets you prefer or want to explore.

Analysis Over Hype

Avoid handicappers who rely on hype or emotional selling. Instead, look for those who provide in-depth, data-driven analysis of games, explaining their rationale behind each pick.

Consistent Betting Strategy

Follow a handicapper with a disciplined, consistent betting strategy. Handicappers who stick to a defined bankroll management system and avoid chasing losses are more likely to succeed long-term.

Customer Reviews and Reputation

Read reviews and testimonials from other bettors to gauge the reputation of the handicapper. Choose someone who has a strong reputation for reliability, honesty, and expertise within the betting community.

 

Our Best MLB Handicappers

SAS has a team of talented baseball handicappers working up picks for every game of the season. In the Leaderboard tab, you can see which handicappers are leading the pack. 

AD 4nXcB pzMtN bvFo60uWPhObBfqlzVsstZLidGc3DSoo0tQFbDvoR4tCgaHOwI9qUFY3bMUyMM3SxIDXB1tbFLSp 7Q0rnHi0VqvayJmPCblrgmz dxtVIut3izX3 iVTh8h3qm1AcWkZ58G

For more in-depth analysis of each handicapper, you can visit their profile to see which wagers they’ve won and lost. Here’s a look at just the baseball stats for Mario Deluca, one of our handicappers. 

MLB Picks and Predictions

As you can see, he primarily wagers on the moneyline for MLB games and out of 38 wagers, he’s won 25 of them. That means Mario has a 65.7% win rate for MLB moneylines, which is better than his 50% win rate for spreads and 60% win rate for totals wagers. 

Overall, Mario has a 62.9% win rate for his MLB wagers in the past 30 days. 

Sniper Wes is another MLB handicapper who has seen success. His stats are below. 

AD 4nXeUvvk3HSOR3n7xyjbCp108 w8JrTnCdDIshg UEFqHuDdcv6F3c0AwAJX

Wes has wagered more in spreads for baseball than Mario, and has a 56.8% win rate for his spread wagers. Compare this to his 72% moneyline win rate and 53.5% totals win rate. 

Overall, though, Wes has a similar win rate to Mario, at 60%. 

How Handicappers Find MLB Value

Handicappers spend a lot of time doing research on team/player performance and evaluating the odds sportsbooks have set. Our handicappers use a robust set of statistics and data to inform their picks. Here’s a bit more detail:

Advanced Statistics

Handicappers rely on key stats like FIP (Fielding Independent Pitching), wOBA (Weighted On-Base Average), and BABIP (Batting Average on Balls in Play) to gauge a team or player’s true performance, stripping away the noise of luck or variance.

Starting Pitcher Analysis

The performance of the starting pitcher plays a crucial role in MLB betting. Handicappers look at pitcher splits (home vs. away, day vs. night), recent form, pitch count, and pitch velocity to determine their effectiveness.

Bullpen Strength

MLB games often come down to bullpen performance. Handicappers analyze bullpen ERA, WHIP, fatigue, and the availability of key relievers when assessing a team’s chances late in games.

Line Movement and Public Betting

Observing how betting lines shift and tracking where public money is going can help find value. When the betting line moves contrary to public opinion, it may indicate sharp action, which professional bettors use to spot hidden value.

Recent Trends and Streaks

Hot streaks (both for individual players and teams) can influence betting odds. Handicappers look at recent form and trends to gauge whether they are based on sustainable factors or temporary luck.

MLB Picks Consensus

Some of the most helpful information you’ll gain access too with our premium subscription is MLB consensus data. 

Our consensus data is culled from numerous partner sportsbooks, and it helps us identify where the sharp money is betting. Here’s a look at the consensus for a Braves vs Reds game:

AD 4nXeIE5LTxdckOQ7ATRiaClBWPgQNLbCzdblTc2snzbo4Nf9ciUKr8WSDvsn 0GP92JgxZuISvOLbQWRyCsehkLMsWMEJTaj13iR7d3uWa4PcB

As you can see, the Braves are favored by the public to cover the spread. The over/under is a bit closer, with the public slightly favoring the under. 

When we get to the moneyline, it’s clear where the sharp money is at. The Braves are favored by both the public and the sharp bettors, making it an optimal wager. 

The consensus data is pulled together for each game into charts like the one above, and it’s much easier to see and access than if you were to compile this data yourself. Our proprietary algorithm pulls this data real time, so you can see how the money shifts as games draw near. 

MLB Odds and Prices

The final element of the SAS membership that MLB bettors can benefit from is the odds and prices on games. When you’re logged in, select Scores and Odds from the menu on the side to access data for all current games. 

AD 4nXeHEdXYtUJ73excZjucv ZlFEOWlvbv7YiAnsRcQ1bpstONrTJDcwEcV4rgDPzEarTj03DzyXymDf1JBq3YJWUUMUIQ jnLamapgX7UvEuGvaLHkXGm4f8HPj0X4 ddxHDtHrWO5LM

Our data is pulled from our partner sportsbooks and averaged to show you the current odds on spreads, totals, and moneylines. This way, you don’t have to click back and forth from SAS and your sportsbook to check the odds on each game. 

The Scores and Odds feature is available for all memberships, free and paid.
