Summary

Tanner McGrath covers college basketball, college football and Major League Baseball at Action Network. He is a contributor to Payoff Pitch, Action Network’s Major League Baseball betting podcast. He's been working in the space for more than five years with past journalism experience in Canadian collegiate sports, finance and economics. He has an obsession with America East basketball, betting the Miami Marlins and sweating out home underdogs.

Experience

Tanner joined Action Network in late 2020 after almost a year of hounding the site's senior editors. Eventually, he was allowed to join the team as both a college basketball and baseball contributor. He wrote about finance and economics at McGill University and then Canadian collegiate football while pursuing a Masters of Journalism at the University of British Columbia. But on the side, he started writing for two small sports gambling sites and his own blog. As his writing improved and his betting analysis became sharper, he managed to work his way up the ladder.

Education

Tanner graduated from McGill University in Montréal, QC, with a double major in Economics and English. He was a Division-1 athlete (in Canada) in Alpine Ski Racing and was the editor of his school paper's Finance and Economics section.

Shouldn’t be priced behind Bryant and Cats. Gives me options on Bears/Danes with “hedge” on River Hawks. If Vermont or Bryant wins the regular season it’ll be a dark day in my household but I’ll take my chances.

Betting Highlights
Favorite Bet of All-Time
Sandy Alcantara 40-1 to win 2022 National League Cy Young.
Most Heartbreaking Bet
The Pats were the final leg of a five-team ML parlay when the Miami Miracle happened. Thankfully, the only result was the Dolphins dropped down a few spots in the next draft.
