The Cardinals are second in the majors in BA (.262) while ranking eighth in runs per game (4.74). The Rangers are just 26th in slugging (.360) but their xSLG of .421 suggests we'll see positive regression. The Cards are starting Sonny Gray who has pitched to a 4.06 ERA through 11 starts. His ERA sits at a whopping 7.36 in the first inning. Texas responds with Patrick Corbin who has been one of the worst full-time starters in the majors over the last few years and has an xERA of 4.45 this season.

About Units and “ROI”

Units are a standardized measurement used to determine the size of each of your bets relative to your bankroll. For example, if you have a bankroll of $200 and you bet 5% of your bankroll each time, each of your units is worth $10. A bettor with a $2000 bankroll who bets 5% per bet has units of $100. We use the number of units to standardize the amount the trend is up or down across different bet amounts.

ROI is the best indicator of success and measures how much you bet vs. how much you profited. Any positive ROI is good in sports betting with great long-term bettors sitting in the 5-7% range.
