Baseball analytics expert reveals best bets for Saturday's MLB action

SportsLine expert John Bollman used to utilize his biostatistics background to enhance player development in Major League Baseball. Now he uses it to enhance bankrolls with MLB picks.

Bollman combines MLB front-office experience with a deep statistical background. Last season Bollman, who has a master's degree in biostatistics, worked in the Toronto Blue Jays' analytics department, focusing on high-performance sports science and player development.

John's expertise stretches to the NHL and NFL, but he is known for his elite baseball mind and his ability to quantify the unquantifiable. And he's in the midst of a red-hot run, hitting on 54 of his last 83 picks (65 percent), raking in $1,813 to $100 bettors in a short amount of time.

Now he's studied Saturday's packed MLB slate and his top three picks are in. If you parlay these together, you could be looking at a return of 5-1.

We can tell you that Bollman is going with the Miami Marlins (+113) at home against the Philadelphia Phillies.

"Jordan Yamamoto is 3-0 with a .95 ERA this season, and he did not allow a run in his one home start," Bollman told SportsLine. "Zach Eflin is 7-7 with a 3.26 ERA but 2-5 with a 3.5 ERA on the road. In one game against the Marlins this season, Eflin threw four innings giving up 10 hits and six runs. In Yamamoto's one start against the Phillies, he gave up two runs in five innings. These teams are 5-5 against each other this season, and the Phillies are 7-8 when Eflin starts while the Marlins are 3-0 when Yamamoto starts. Take the value in the Marlins."

Bollman has also found a key x-factor that has him all over a road team Saturday. This team offers major value on the money line and pushes the parlay to new heights. You ABSOLUTELY need to see what he's picking before you make any plays of your own.
