Gill Alexander hit one of the best futures bets of the baseball season when he picked the Red Sox at 80-1 to finish with the most wins in July.
Naturally, VSiN followers wanted to know who he likes for August.
Gill has been on vacation this week from A Numbers Game, but we convinced him to make a special appearance Friday to reveal his pick.
This month’s challenge is completely different. Monday’s trade deadline could reshape rosters across baseball.
His choice might surprise you.
One hint: It’s a team that a few years ago traded away a starting pitcher at the deadline . . . and still reached the postseason.
The Yankees and Cubs continue their weekend series at Wrigley Field, and Greg Peterson likes New York to win again.
Greg points to Max Fried, who has allowed just one home run this season while generating plenty of soft contact, along with a Yankees bullpen that ranks No. 1 in MLB in ERA since June 1.
His projections make the Yankees a stronger favorite than the betting market currently indicates.
Greg’s projections: Yankees -140 • Total 6.9
Best Bets: Yankees Moneyline (-120) and Over 6.5 Runs
