Welcome to Best on the Board, The Athletic's sports gambling podcast. Best on the Board takes a quality-over-quantity approach, diving deep into just a handful of picks every episode rather than trying to cover every single game. In other words, Best on the Board gives you just the best bets on the board, as selected by our rotating panel. Host Michael Beller is joined by a cast of co-hosts to break it all down.
