Intentionally walking Trae Turner on a 1-2 count only two give up a three-run jack to the next hitter will put you on the hot seat…just ask Tony La Russa.
La Russa defended his head-scratching decision following Thursday’s loss to the Dodgers, but it’s clear the White Sox trust in the 77-year-old manager is waning.
SportsBetting supports that notion with the odds it released Friday morning regarding the next MLB manager to be fired. La Russa is at the top of the list with +400, or 4-1 odds, while Dave Martinez (+500) and Scott Servais (+550) round out the Top 3.
There have been two skippers axed in the past two weeks (Angels and Phillies next full-time manager odds below), so who’s next? Every possibility is on the list.

TAMPA (MCCLANAHAN -186) White Sox (Valasquez)
The last eight games, Tampa has not been more than a -135 favorite. When oddsmakers tell you a team has their best chance to win in recent play, we turn that knowledge against them with a system that is enormously profitable on both run and money lines. It is up +408.82 units and a solid 7.4 percent ROI. Sox have dropped 5-of-6. Vincent Valasquez, one of the streakiest pitchers in MLB has been tagged for 11 ERA last 10 IP. McClanahan just two runs, no unearned last 26 IP.

San Francisco-Miami UNDER 7 (Wood-Alcantara)
This is the lowest total Wood has seen all season and in fact twice in his last three starts the total has been double digits. We have an angle that tells you when a pitcher’s total seems disproportionately low compared to previous starts, listen to what the oddsmakers are telling you because it goes under 3275-2501-253.
Two free winners from Grandmaster Joe Duffy. The systems behind both would almost always be Wise Guy plays. However, many rightfully argue the biggest day for regular season home-field advantage in MLB is Saturday and alas home underdogs do well on Saturdays. Hence, these are not among my premium picks for today.
These are though: Entire card at 4:30 ET or later. Got ‘em! My super sharp outscource you and I have bet for years has our Preakness Stakes Top 5 in order. He said he is definitely betting top 3 in trifecta. More details inside.
Grandmaster Sports Handicapper Joe Duffy has Miami-Boston side and total build on my clockwork 19-10 NBA playoff ledger. Assume at your own risk. Three MLB Wise Guys, first at 4:05, next two at night. Some tell us we release too many bets for their comfort zone. Just bet our Wise Guys if that is the case. Get the picks now
CUBS (STEELE -148) Arizona (Bumgarner)
Odds relative to recent numbers weaponizing the oddsmakers knowledge against them is +848. 50 units. When oddsmakers tell you a team is playing their most winnable game in recent play, listen to them. An angle that exploits their knowledge is +86.64 units, but with a whopping 17.1 ROI. When inferior team (based on winning percentage) is the favorite, listen to what the oddsmakers are telling you. This wins big on both run and moneyline.

BOSTON +1.5 Milwaukee
Of course, the zigzag has gone in reverse in recent years, but even when it won, there were specific “bounce back” situations in which it did great and others which momentum was more important. Those bounce back still hold up including one that is 401-319-9. While favorites are generally good bets in the playoffs, not in this specific situation, which is even better with dogs. Boston is also a decent computer bet.
UFC 276 is setting up to be a massive event as the men’s middleweight and featherweight championships are on the line.
