About Dugout Edge
Índice de contenidos
What We Cover
Dugout Edge is an independent editorial publication focused on the intersection of Major League Baseball and sports wagering. Our coverage spans three areas: analytical strategy for MLB bettors, investigative reporting on gambling scandals and integrity violations, and the evolving regulatory landscape that shapes how baseball wagering operates across legal markets.
We do not operate a sportsbook, sell picks, or accept advertising from gambling operators. Our revenue model does not influence our editorial positions.
Editorial Methodology
Every article published on Dugout Edge follows a structured editorial process designed to ensure accuracy, transparency, and analytical rigor.
Primary sourcing: We prioritize first-party data from official bodies including Major League Baseball, the U.S. Department of Justice, the UK Gambling Commission, the Gambling Act 2005 regulatory framework, GambleAware, and the NCAA. Statistics cited in our articles are traced back to their original source and include the publication year for context.
Verification: Quantitative claims are cross-referenced against at least two independent sources before publication. When data points originate from a single source, we identify that source explicitly and note the limitation.
Expert context: We incorporate direct statements from league officials, legislators, academics, and industry analysts. Quoted material is attributed with the speaker’s name, title, and the publication or forum where the statement was made.
Ongoing updates: Articles covering active legal cases, pending legislation, or evolving league policy are reviewed and updated as new information becomes available. Each article displays its most recent update date.
Our Standards
We do not fabricate sources or statistics. We do not present sponsored content as editorial analysis. We do not rank or recommend specific sportsbook operators. When we discuss betting strategy, we also present the relevant data on sportsbook hold rates, problem gambling prevalence, and the mathematical realities of long-term wagering.
We believe that informed bettors make better decisions. We also believe that honest coverage of gambling harm is inseparable from responsible coverage of gambling strategy.
