MLB F5 SYSTEM

June 19, 2026

Strongest play on the early evening games is Detroit Tigers F5

1. S-Tier Plays (Diff ≥ 2.50
)
• DET F5 (Skubal over Eisert) — Diff 3.4 | 70%+
• NYY F5 (Schlittler over Lowder) — Diff 2.9 | 70%+

2. A-Tier Plays (Diff 1.75–2.49)
• MIL F5 (Misiorowski over Pérez) — Diff 2.3 | 64–66%

3. Underdog Pitching Edges
• WSH — Poulin carries a slight edge in a low-confidence, low-Diff spot vs. Jax (spot/bulk role). Small sample but clean recent results.

• MIA — Bachar’s small-sample effectiveness gives a narrow underdog-side nod in a close C-Tier game.

4. Strongest Edge On Slate
Strongest Play — DET F5 (Skubal). Largest Diff on the slate (3.4), elite 2026 metrics from Skubal (low FIP, excellent command/ratios, proven sample), and very weak opposing starter in Eisert. Highest conviction and profile strength.

Close second: NYY F5 (Schlittler) — Nearly as large a gap (2.9) with Schlittler’s Cy Young-caliber 2026 numbers and 15 GS of dominance.

World Cup Groups C & D Round Two - My Picks

1% Scotland and Morocco to draw at 27c (good to 30c)
1% Brazil -2.5 vs Haiti at 51c (good to 55c)
1% Turkey to beat Paraguay at 47c (good to 52c)

We've reached that early stage of the tournament where everyone has played at least once with some teams already having played twice. This is when teams become a little bit more clear on what needs to be done as well as what's to be avoided so there tends to be a little more calculated risk taking now. Let's look at tonight's games.

Scotland vs Morocco - until last week's game against Brazil I believe that the betting markets were pricing in Morocco under their previous manager Walid Regragui, under whom they played a very conservative, defensive style where they could keep it tight against big teams and hit them on the break. They are now managed by Mohamed Ouahbi, who won the U20 World Cup with Morocco. He has brought a more aggressive high pressing style to Morocco while still allowing them to...

OFFICIAL PICKS: Midterms, 2026

House Elections Projections

The House tends to be more responsive to midterm dynamics, but, like the Senate, swings hard in elections where some combination of the Four Factors are present -- cost of living crisis or recession; war; major scandal; betrayal or down-ballot realignment. A fun map to use is this simulator, which takes partisan averages from existing models, and plugs in the map based on your adjustment of the generic ballot edge for one party or another. https://globalelectionsimulator.com/#/usa-house

Historic Norms: When a combination of the Four Factors are present, this is the kind of swing you get:

1930: 52 seat swing

1946: 55 seat swing

1958: 49 seat swing

1974: 49 seat swing

1994: 54 seat swing

2006: 31 seat swing

Barnes Betting Report: Senate 2026

First, four factors dictate whether there is major turnover in the Senate in a midterm election independent of the favorability of the Senate map (due to only one-third of seats being up in any given midterm). Often, as was the case in both 2018 and 2022, is that incumbents are not destined to lose seats, outside of realigning elections in unfavorable maps. This cycle's map favors the GOP, which is why the prediction markets and most forecasters expect a GOP majority in the 2027 Senate. The four factors that prove dangerous to the incumbent party are: first, a recession or cost of living crisis; second, a war; third, a major scandal; and fourth, a sense of betrayal in the voter group that backed the incumbent amongst some portion of their prior electoral coalition. Five midterms feature some combingation of those factors in some significant degree: 1930, 1946, 1958, 1974 and 2006.

Without those factors present in multiple forms, the incumbent party can expect to hold on to seats in states it previously won outside the national margin. When those factors are present, the landscape shifts dramatically. Examining those White House incumbent seats that showed a state-wide election decided by single digits in the prior decade produces the following probabilities: the incumbent White House party lost at least 67% of its incumbent held seats, as much as 85% of its incumbent held seats, and an average of 75% of its incumbent hold seats, rarely upsetting the opposition party in any seat and often losing a surprise or two in seats considered completely safe.
