August’s Betting Review: As BrownBagBets Turns the Page to September

August has officially come to a close, and what a finale it was! We wrapped up the month with a stellar 10-3 record on the day, going 6-2 in college football, 2-0 in EPL plays, and 3-1 in MLB. This final push solidified an incredible month for BrownBagBets, where we finished at an impressive 199% of our starting bankroll. This is what it’s all about—strategic plays, disciplined bankroll management, and the relentless pursuit of passive income.

At BrownBagBets, our mission is simple: to turn sports betting into a sustainable source of passive income for our community. We don’t just aim for quick wins or daily highs; we focus on the long game, winning the month, and ultimately the year. Our approach ensures that we’re not just chasing victories but creating a consistent, reliable system that allows us to cash out profits month after month.

August is a prime example of this strategy in action. Over the course of the month, we made 198 total bets—each one an opportunity not just for a win, but to accumulate valuable tier credits with your preferred betting loyalty program. These credits, when combined with our winning plays, add another layer of value to your betting experience. It’s not just about the money you win; it’s about the perks and rewards that come with every wager you place.

As we turn the page to September, things are about to get even more exciting. With NFL joining our winning picks in NCAA Football and MLB playoff races heating up, we’re set for another month of strategic plays and potential big wins. The best part? We’re all in this together, refining our craft, and making smarter bets every step of the way.

Let’s keep this momentum going as we dive into September—bringing our A-game to every pick, every play, and every bet we make.

English Premier League: Tottenham at Newcastle United

Balanced Defensive Play: Both Tottenham and Newcastle United have shown solid defensive capabilities in their recent games. This balanced approach often leads to a tighter contest with fewer goals, as neither team is able to fully dominate the attacking play.

Tactical Matchup: Recent form suggests both teams are likely to play a more tactical game rather than engaging in an all-out attack. This controlled approach could limit the number of high-scoring opportunities, leading to a lower total of goals.

Pick: Under 3.5 Goals / Wager: 1%

NCAA Football: USC at LSU

Strong Offensive Line: LSU’s offensive line returns four starters and a veteran tight end, providing stability and experience crucial for a successful season. This solid foundation is complemented by Garrett Nussmeier, who demonstrated his readiness with a standout performance in last year’s bowl game. His connection with CJ Daniels, a transfer with over a thousand receiving yards, is expected to enhance the Tigers’ offensive potency.

Improved Defense: LSU’s defense looks poised to be stronger this season with a senior-laden front line and three returning starters in the secondary. This experience should improve their defensive performance compared to last year, making them more formidable against USC.

Pick: LSU -4 / Wager: 2%

MLB: St. Louis Cardinals at New York Yankees

Mikolas’ Recent Struggles: Miles Mikolas has had a tough August with a 6.39 ERA, allowing 4 or more earned runs in 4 of his 5 starts. He has struggled in his recent road outings, failing to pitch more than 4 innings and giving up 9 earned runs. This poor form, combined with the challenging conditions of Yankee Stadium, makes him vulnerable.

Yankees’ Home Advantage: Nestor Cortes has been effective at home with a 2.79 ERA. Despite the Yankees’ inconsistent offense recently, Cortes’ solid performance should help control the Cardinals’ lineup, which has been lackluster against left-handed pitchers. The Yankees’ favorable matchup against Mikolas and the Cardinals’ struggles defensively suggest a potential for a significant win.

Pick: Yankees -1.5 @ +105 / Wager: 2%

MLB: New York Mets at Chicago White Sox

Mets’ Performance with Manaea: Sean Manaea has been solid for the Mets, with the team winning 18 of his 26 starts, including 12 by 2 or more runs. Over his last 7 starts, the Mets are 6-1 with 5 wins by multiple runs. This indicates a consistent performance when Manaea is on the mound.

White Sox’s Struggles and Recent Trends: The White Sox have been in poor form, particularly in recent games. They are 2-9 in Garrett Crochet’s last 11 starts, with 6 of those losses by more than one run. The team is also struggling overall, contributing to their poor performance.

Pick: Mets -1.5 / Wager: 2%

MLB: Toronto Blue Jays at Minnesota Twins

Bounce-Back Potential for the Twins: After a heavy 15-0 defeat on Saturday, the Twins are likely to come out with a strong effort to redeem themselves. Historically, such significant losses often prompt teams to play with renewed intensity in their next game.

Bailey Ober’s Recent Performance: Despite a rough outing against the Braves, Ober has been solid overall, with the Twins winning five of his six prior starts and Ober posting a 2.03 ERA in those games. This suggests he is capable of a strong rebound performance.

Yariel Rodriguez’s Struggles: Toronto’s starter, Yariel Rodriguez, has been inconsistent, with the Jays losing in his last six starts. His recent ERA of 9.42 over his last three starts reflects ongoing pitching difficulties, which could be a major disadvantage against the Twins.

Pick: Twins -1.5 @ +110 / Wager: 3%
