MLB Daily

The purpose of this guide and preview is assist your baseball knowledge for the 2021 season. It is laid out and formatted for those who wager on baseball but will also apply to those that are just fans of the game. I hope that by the time you have read through the articles, strategies, team previews, etc. that you will use this as a resource for the season and will have learned a little about baseball through a Sabermetric view of the sport. A daily fantasy player might find some value in here as well. It will not be nor is it intended to be a draft guide for fantasy. This guide is all about wagering and evaluating teams and matchups as to provide an edge to the bettor. It never hurts to put yourself in a spot where you can make some money!

When looking into the 2021 crystal ball, I came across the Seattle Mariners offense. Some projections often surprise me. From a far, one might think this is a young rebuilding team with some exciting talent on the rise. I believe this is the worst offense in baseball.

The projections indicate a below average performer at every position except Haniger (who is average in the projection) and missed the entire season last year. Notice that the higher WAR totals reflect defense not offense. OFF is the batting side of the WAR calculation, which in this case reflects everyone (but Haniger) is worse than a replacement player! It is also shown in the wOBA. The average should .325 or so, and here we find no one. Again, wRC+ (average is 100) sees Haniger at the average with no one else! This will be a rough ride for SEA in 2021. It also shows how far away they really are.

The website is now LIVE. It still needs tweaking and adding widgets t is far enough along to allow public view while still getting its enhancements. It will make getting content a breeze.

The Webb Report is a video show! It will recap, preview all the MLB games with a wagering aspect. All MLB all the time!
