Of all professional sports, none will offer more games for betting annually than Major League Baseball. Every season, the Boston Red Sox play 162 games, minimum. That's 162 times to have your heart broken. Or, 162 times to possibly rejoice, and 162 times to cash in. In this primer, we'll examine the unique strategies for betting on baseball for…

I can't decide what's more bewildering: That the Red Sox really feel like they did something on Wednesday morning, or that so many of the rest of us don't. The clearest emotion to find is joy for Rafael Devers, his evolution from a 16-year-old Dominican free agent to the unquestioned face of the franchise complete in a shade less than a decade.…

I can't be the only person whose pulse spiked seeing the words "Rafael Devers" and "agreement" on their phone Tuesday until realizing it was just for a $17.5-million deal covering his last year before free agency. No matter. Good news is good news, and avoiding even the suggestion of arbitration with The Last Red Sox Superstar qualifies as…

It's not the Rafael Devers news Red Sox fans were hoping for. Tuesday afternoon, the Red Sox agreed to a one-year deal with Devers that will cover his final year of salary arbitration and pay him $17.5 million in 2023, as first reported by ESPN and later announced by the club. At the very least, the team will avoid taking Devers to arbitration,…

Chris Bevilacqua doesn't have to work his imagination too hard to see a future where a fellow New York Yankees fan experiences a ballgame in an entirely novel way.

We are one game into the 2022 season, and while Opening Day certainly did not go the way we were all hoping here at OTM, it is still a very long year and one game does not a season make.
