BBL Markets Preview Game 48: Heat v Scorchers

Jan 31, 2019, 11:21PM

Welcome to Stats Insider's Big Bash Market Preview - your daily look at what the model (and my gut!) are seeing in the main markets (and a few exotics) each and every day of BBL08!

No suggested bets at this early stage from the model as the Heat host the Scorchers in the battle of the underachievers for 2019.

No suggested bets early on

These two sides have been playing that poorly that not even the power of the Stats Insider model can discern an obvious edge or value play tonight. It is a tricky game betting wise with both sides capable of smashing 200 runs or capitulating for under 90.

Check back in on the match page closer to the toss to see if markets have fluctuated enough for the model to have spotted some value.

High Bat

Time to fire up Chris Lynn. Yes he is short at $3's and horribly out of form, but this Scorchers side has been horrible with the ball outside of Perth and if Lynn gets in he will ton up tonight.

Really liking the value about Ashton turner at $5.50 tonight. Should spend plenty of time in the middle and the Heat bowlers will not trouble him at all.

Player of the Match

i like both first drops tonight - Lynn at $7.50 and Turner at $13's. Don't mind Bryant at $12's this could be the night he goes nuts.

Former ABC Journo and Champion Data stats nerd who loves his fantasy sport, punting, footy, cricket, golf - you get the point. More than prepared to take driver off the deck from 250 out (especially if it's for a beverage or two!) but will also happily take my medicine when the occasion calls for it. Pumped to be part of the Stats Insider team - if it's value and it's footy, I'm all over it in 2019 folks!
