Host Adam Burke had a lot to say on today’s edition of The Bettor’s Box. As somebody that actually uses and pays attention to spin rates and the impact that they have on betting baseball, this has been a frustrating few days as MLB has made a fundamental change to the game in the middle of a season. Adam talked about why spin rates are important, the tangible impact that they have on offense, what we’ve seen already this month that could be part of the crackdown, and some pitchers and teams more likely to be affected than others. It wasn’t all about spin rates on the show, as Adam also looked at recent line moves over the last few days and then previewed five series for the week ahead. Adam talked about his thoughts and some look-ahead picks for Cubs vs. Padres, Astros vs. Red Sox, Yankees vs. Twins, Blue Jays vs. White Sox, and Mariners vs. Tigers.
