Former MLB pitcher Jensen Lewis is one of the newest faces at The Sports Betting Network, co-hosting VSiN By The Books (7-10 a.m. ET) with Dave Ross.
So I was happy to hear that VSiN.com managing editor Adam Burke had enlisted Jensen to contribute to our MLB Betting Guide, out today for VSiN Pro subscribers. >>Download here.
Jensen, who played for Cleveland from 2007-2010, offers a player’s perspective for bettors, including this one:
I love targeting East Coast teams coming off long, three-city road trips, particularly those finishing up on the West Coast.
How to attack:
>Back the home team against the road team who’s headed home after the final game of that trip.
>Back the road team when the home team returns from a three-city road trip, especially in the first game of their homestand.
>This strategy targets the wear and tear from travel, regardless of the starting pitcher’s name.
You can easily identify these spots on the calendar right now, so keep your eyes peeled for those matchups!
Plenty more advice on betting baseball in general and specifically the 2025 season in the guide.
