Host Gill Alexander breaks down the most and least profitable money line clubs in baseball (home/road splits), the best and worst run line clubs, the clubs with the biggest difference between their money line and run line performances, the most reliable totals umpires, the best and worst first 5 inning teams in terms of run production and prevention, and the most and least reliable 1st inning clubs as seen through the prism of scoring percentage.  Plus, proprietary betting stats on the best and worst 5 inning clubs and pitchers are included, as are numbers that you won’t find anywhere else on 1st inning pitching performers, all designed to inform your MLB derivative wagers.  It’s all preceded by Marco D'Angelo of WagerTalk.com, Chris Fallica of ESPN’s College GameDay, and Ron Flatter of the Vegas Stats & Information Network breaking down the Preakness, the second jewel of the Triple Crown, on Thursday's Beating The Book (May 17, 2018).
