No. We do not and cannot guarantee winning bets. Sports betting involves inherent risk and uncertainty. Our analytics are designed to provide informed insights, not guaranteed outcomes. Always bet responsibly and never wager more than you can afford to lose.

Responsible gambling means setting limits, never chasing losses, only betting what you can afford to lose, and recognizing when gambling becomes a problem. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER for help.

Our predictions should be one factor in your decision-making process. Consider combining our analytics with your own research, current events, and risk tolerance. Use proper bankroll management and never rely solely on any single source for betting decisions.

Bankroll management involves setting aside a specific amount of money for betting and wagering only a small percentage (typically 1-5%) on any single bet. This strategy helps protect your funds and allows you to weather losing streaks without going broke.

Sandlot Picks Analytics is a data-driven platform that provides predictive analytics and insights for MLB betting. We use advanced machine learning models and statistical analysis to help you make informed betting decisions on player props and game outcomes.

Our models are continuously validated using metrics like RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) and R² (Coefficient of Determination). While no prediction is 100% accurate, our models are trained on years of historical data and updated regularly to maintain high accuracy. We transparently share our model performance metrics with our users.

Our predictions use machine learning models trained on historical MLB data. We employ advanced regression techniques, feature engineering, and real-time matchup analysis. Key factors include player statistics, pitcher-batter history, ballpark factors, weather conditions, and recent performance trends.

Confidence scores indicate how certain our model is about a prediction based on historical accuracy and data quality. Higher confidence doesn't guarantee success but indicates stronger statistical backing. We recommend considering both the prediction and confidence level when making decisions.
