Why should I use your website instead of the original sources?

You're welcome to use the original sources, but I created this website to streamline the process. Instead of visiting multiple sites daily for baseball information, you can find all the essential data in one place here. Additionally, this site avoids the high subscription costs of many other platforms(as it is free this 2024 season and the plans to be only $5 after that), providing a comprehensive and cost-effective resource for baseball bettors.
