The Baseball Betting Show with Greg Peterson

The Baseball Betting Show treats each day of Major League Baseball as a betting card to work through from top to bottom. Greg Peterson hosts, and the show's opener sets the scope: 'every game, every day.' Episodes start with a welcome to lovely Las Vegas and a call for listener questions. Those come in through X or through an Apple Podcasts review, and Peterson says so plainly on days when none arrived. Then the previous day gets its turn. A segment introduced as the 'rowdy recap' goes back through yesterday's games looking for trends. The details are the kind a box score buries: a Nationals extra-inning win over the Pirates tilted by fielding errors, a reliever giving up a run in the tenth, the Brewers finally winning a game, 2-1 against Toronto. The recap is not filler. It is how the show gets to know the teams before making picks on them. The middle segment goes to a guest, usually someone who covers a single team or works in betting. Recent guests have come from DraftKings, Action Network, 710 Seattle Sports and WBAL in Baltimore. Early in the season the talk follows the calendar: the Mariners, the Orioles, a wild American League, and which surprise young teams have staying power. The final segment is the card itself, picks and analysis on every game on the board, which Peterson sets up with the phrase 'as we touch them all.' This is where the analysis gets specific. On one April slate he works out how the wind should play and expects it to hold down scoring. Then he turns to a Mets lineup playing without Juan Soto and goes through who is getting on base, who has cooled after a hot start and who is a perennial slow starter. It is warm, numbers-first talk, more box score than bluster. The coverage doesn't stop when the regular season does. An October episode previews the championship series through murky pitching plans, a possible opener and a rebuilt Dodgers bullpen. Episodes are titled by date, in the form 4/19/26-Baseball Betting Show, and the feed holds a large archive. Since each episode is tied to one day's games, the natural place to start is the date that matches the games a listener is looking at. Sponsor reads, including sportsbook ads, run between the segments.
