The early bird gets the worm, right?
That’s why we’re releasing the VSiN 2026 MLB Betting Guide earlier than ever. One other reason? In March, the bird gets distracted by the NCAA Tournament.
You can buy and download the 77-page PDF now for just $19.99 — and we truly believe it’s the most comprehensive baseball betting preview we’ve ever produced. (VSiN Pro subscribers can get it here.)
VSiN.com managing editor Adam Burke explains why:
This year’s Guide is unlike any we have ever done because we have incorporated more insights from VSIN By The Books host Jensen Lewis, who made 161 appearances over four MLB seasons and 362 total appearances in pro ball. His unique perspective having played the game and been in the clubhouses paired with my experience as a self-described nerd and analytics-driven handicapper has produced something special for us.
That combination — The Analyst and The Athlete — powers a Guide built to attack the season from every angle.
Inside, you’ll find:
⚾ Previews for all 30 MLB teams from Adam and Jensen, blending advanced metrics with real clubhouse insight.
📊 A fully updated 2026 stats glossary, breaking down the numbers that matter for bettors.
💰 A deep dive into payroll vs. championships, plus a World Series futures discussion to frame the betting market before Opening Day.
🏟️ A detailed look at “park factors” from our friends at Ballpark Pal — because not all 400-foot fly balls are created equal.
We may be early with the Guide, but Opening Day (March 25) will be here before you know it — especially with the World Baseball Classic (March 5–17) serving as the appetizer.
One more announcement: In time for the season openers, we’ll roll out our OptaAI MLB Player Prop Projections at VSiN.com — daily projected performance numbers across seven offensive categories and five pitching categories. They’ve already become an essential betting tool in the NFL and NBA. Now they’re coming to baseball.
Just another reason to become a VSiN Pro subscriber. 👉 Find the best deal for you.
The last of the unbeatens
There are 365 Division I college basketball teams. One remains undefeated — but Miami of Ohio will put its 25-0 record on the line at UMass (+2.5) tonight (7 ET, ESPN+).
Adam Burke breaks down the MACtion:
UMass certainly has a knack for playing close games and the first one between these two could’ve gone either way. Miami doesn’t seem too pressured keeping up their perfect record of late, as they hammered Marshall by 16 on the road and then Ohio by 16 at home. The Redhawks are even shooting a higher percentage on 2s and 3s in conference play in their five road games compared to their seven home games.
Adam also has a play on the marquee matchup of the night, No. 1 Michigan (-1.5) at Purdue (6:30 ET, Peacock).
Look for even more Best Bets from Adam later this morning on our college basketball page. You’ll also find columns from Tyler Shoemaker and Josh Appelbaum.
Greg “Hoops” Peterson already is in with 11 plays for tonight’s action.
Greg posts handicapped lines every day and breaks down every game on the Coast-to-Coast Hoops podcast throughout the season.
