Top Sportsbooks for Zerillo

Factors that matter most in choosing a sportsbook:

  • Best lines on things I like to bet,
  •  Easy to use app
  •  Desktop experience
  • High betting limit
  •  Unique offerings and bet types

Favorite Types of bets:  Straight bets, Parlays, Player props, Futures

 

Top 3 Sportsbooks Ranked with Pros/Cons:

1. FanDuel Sportsbook

FanDuel Pros

  • Competitive pricing.
  •  Make F5 lines for baseball available overnight. 
  • Higher limits than most.

FanDuel Cons

  • Need a more accessible layout. I have to click through/into too many individual game pages to find options that I want to be (ex. have to click on a game, then toggle to "1st Half" to find F5 lines)

Get more details about the FanDuel Sportsbook promo code and the good and bad about the sportsbook.

2. DraftKings Sportsbook

DraftKings Pros

  • Best layout of the bunch. They put the entire menu for individual betting options on one screen so you don't have to click through into individual game pages, which is almost unique.

DraftKings Cons

  • Can often find matching or better prices elsewhere.

Join Zerillo–get the DraftKings promo code and learn the good and bad about the sportsbook.

 

3. WynnBET Sportsbook

WynnBET Pros

  • Typically has the best prices - especially for MLB - often matching the best prices, even offshore.

WynnBET Cons

  • F5 lines for MLB not available overnight. 
  • Similar UX issues to Fanduel and other books - have to click through too many game pages/menus to find the market I'm looking for.

Learn more about the WynnBET Promo code and if the app is available in your state.

Luis Severino+7000
2023 MLB American League Cy Young
0.05u
Finished 3rd in 2017, 9th in 2018 before the injuries. Finally healthy and projects far better than this pricetag
39
10
Luis Arraez+2200
2023 MLB Most Regular Season Hits
0.15u
Favorite hits leader bet. Marlins may try to jam him in the lineup everyday. Ranks second behind Tim Anderson in projected hits per PA, but Anderson is +1200.

Bo Bichette+1300

365. Projected 6th in hits per PA. Right behind Bichette. Injury risk more than built in here. Steal if he plays a whole season
38
9
Mookie Betts+1100
2023 MLB Most Regular Season Runs
0.15u
Favorite Runs leader bet. First in average (per PA) and overall projected Runs
53
8
Freddie Freeman+1800
2023 MLB Most Regular Season Runs
0.1u
Projected 2nd in total runs, 8th in avg per PA. Higher floor, lower ceiling - but the price is right. Would handicap Betts and Freddie as favorites ahead of Soto and Judge
38
8
Yordan Alvarez+2500
2023 MLB Most Regular Season Runs
0.1u
Allocating 0.75u across three player props and the MVP bet. If you want to wait b/c of the hand I get it / but the odds may start dipping when he picks up a bat. Threat to lead every offensive category if he’s healthy.
43
7
Julio Rodriguez+2000
2023 MLB Most Regular Season Runs
0.1u
Price has moved closer to +1500. Wouldn’t go much below that. Just assume going forward to bet J-Rod if we’re getting these prices on Runs Leader / HR Leader / MVP
37
8
Michael Harris II+7500
2023 MLB Most Regular Season Runs
0.1u
My other favorite Runs leader bet. Projected 21st in runs scored. Betting on lineup spot variance. Could leadoff if Acuna misses time / could move to the 2 spot if he’s their second best hitter like last season
47
8
Yordan Alvarez+1000
2023 MLB Most Regular Season RBIs
0.2u
Projected 1st in RBI per PA. 3rd in total RBI. Would set him as the favorite ahead of Alonso and Judge
69
10
Jose Ramirez+2000
2023 MLB Most Regular Season RBIs
0.1u
Projected 4th in total RBI, 5th in avg per PA. Closer to 12th on the odds board
50

Matt Olson+1800
2023 MLB Most Regular Season RBIs
0.1u
Projected 6th in total RBI but correlation to my other Braves futures / Harris Runs leader
42
9
Giancarlo Stanton+5000
2023 MLB Most Regular Season RBIs
0.05u
Projected 8th in RBI per PA. 37th in total RBI. Small investment on injury variance. Exact type of bet this process is meant to uncover
46
8
Manny Machado+2500
2023 MLB Most Regular Season RBIs
0.1u
Projected 8th in total RBI. Tied for 13th on the odds board.
46
9
Yordan Alvarez+1200
2023 MLB Most Regular Season Home Runs
0.25u
Same # at Superbook. Projected 4th. Again, can wait on the hand here but assuming this closes +1000 or lower everywhere if he’s ready in a month
76
10
Mat Olsen+5000
2023 MLB Most Regular Season Home Runs
0.05u
Superbook. Bet to +3000 (FD). Projected 8th in total HR. Listed 10th on the board at FD, 13th at SB
38
9
Giancarlo Stanton+4000
2023 MLB Most Regular Season Home Runs
0.05u
Superbook. Projected 11th in HR per PA, 16th in total HR. Small bet on injury variance. Even if he’s washed can hit .200 with 45 HR and lead the league
39
8
Juan Soto+5000
2023 MLB Most Regular Season Home Runs
0.05u
Superbook. Bet to +3500 (FD). Projected 15th in total HR and 51st in HR per PA. Still, this is the best category to spec on HOF talent. Projections didn’t support Vlad bets at the same prices in 2021 and we played those. 45+ HR season is coming at some point
50
8
Julio Rodriguez+5000
2023 MLB Most Regular Season Home Runs
0.05u
Superbook. Bet to +4000 (CZR). Everything I said about Soto applies here - and JROD hits the ball harder
49
10
Cal Raleigh+20000
2023 MLB Most Regular Season Home Runs
0.02u
Would only bet this at 200-1. Oddly, Superbook at +4000 - they typically have the best # on HR leaders. Projected 18th in HR per PA. Elite power metrics while injured last season. If Raleigh gets enough DH at bats he can get to 40+.
45

Jazz Chisholm Jr.+2200
2023 MLB Most Regular Season Stolen Bases

365. Projected 2nd. Listed 12th on the odds board

365. Projected 4th. Listed 18th on the odds board
47
9
Jon Berti+2000
2023 MLB Most Regular Season Stolen Bases
0.1u
Projected 5th in steals per PA. Top 4 are Thompson, Moore, Mondesi, Ruiz - 2 longshots I bet and 2 favorites I didn’t. Led the league last year. Wouldn’t go below +2000 here - more competition for ABs this season
