Expert Sports Analyst Shares Best Bets for March 29 Action

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Expert betting analyst Greg Peterson has revealed his top picks for college basketball and Major League Baseball for March 29, 2024. Peterson’s insights come after a successful analysis of team performances and player statistics.

In college basketball, Texas Tech is grappling with the injury of Chance McMillian, a key player shooting 43.4% from three-point range and averaging 14.2 points per game. The team is reeling from needing to recover from a 13-point deficit late in their last game, currently relying on a seven-man rotation. Consequently, they need to moderate their play pace, ranking 228th in possessions per game. Florida, on the other hand, is formidable defensively, ranking 21st in points allowed per possession and fifth in opponent three-point shooting percentage.

Peterson predicts a low-scoring affair in this matchup, suggesting a bet on the total points. “I recommend taking the under at 157, with my handicapped total being 154,” Peterson stated.

In a contrasting high-energy game, Alabama leads the nation in total possessions per game while also showing off a record-breaking performance with 25 successful three-pointers in their last game. Mark Sears notably excelled, going 10-of-15 from the three-point line, a stark contrast to his previous 5-for-35 performance in the prior six games. Yet, they’ll face a defensive stalwart in Duke, which ranks third in the nation for points allowed per possession.

Peterson calls for a bet on Alabama with a spread of +7.5 and the total at under 174, noting, “My handicapped line for Alabama is +5.5, with a total of 169.5.”

Switching to baseball, Peterson also shared his picks for MLB games on the same day, emphasizing the inherent volatility of early-season matchups. With all teams in action, he highlighted notable pitching matchups, particularly involving Nestor Cortes of the Brewers and Max Fried of New York. “Both starters have shown promise historically, and I advise taking the under at 8.5 runs, with my handicapped total set at 7.6,” Peterson said.

He noted that both the White Sox and Angels had struggled offensively last season, averaging 3.13 and 3.93 runs per game, respectively. With Jose Soriano on the mound for Los Angeles after a strong 2024 season, Peterson advises a similar bet on ‘under 8.5 runs,’ with a handicapped total of 7.8.

As for other key matchups, Peterson expressed confidence in the Cardinals over the Twins, with recommendations on moneyline odds at +110 and commended the rookies on display. Furthermore, he supports the under in several matchups, including those involving the Nationals and Phillies, both struggling offensively last season hitting the fewest home runs in the National League.

Peterson’s comprehensive analysis provides bettors with essential insights into last-minute decisions leading into match day. For fans and bettors alike, March 29 presents an exciting opportunity to engage with both collegiate and MLB action.
