This column is all about MLB players to bet on this week who are on the verge of breaking out. We’ll help you get ahead of the oddsmakers, which can also lead to identifying some contrarian DFS picks<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter how talented a hitter, there are always spells during a long MLB season where many of their metrics indicate they\u2019re doing everything right, but the results they\u2019re producing are anything but. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These rough stretches are often accompanied by abnormally low BABIP (Batting Average of Balls in Play) figures, and when we combine those scenarios with several other numbers that would appear to portend success at the plate, we can sometimes get ahead as prop bettors in identifying batters who may be due for a reversal of fortune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Simmering Sluggers, we\u2019ll aim to highlight five MLB players to bet each week for the remainder of the season, examining a suite of key numbers over a reasonable sample size in an attempt to pinpoint such opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
