Melbourne Renegades betting
For the first few seasons of the BBL, the Melbourne Renegades have been the city’s ‘little brother’ team.
While the Melbourne Stars attract all of the limelight, the ‘Gades have built a working-class reputation and attracted fans who love an underdog.
That all changed in BBL08 when the Renegades stunned the Stars in one of the most memorable Big Bash finals yet, but now they have reverted to type and look set for a tough season in 2020/21.
We’ll look at the Renegades’ odds, their squad, the BBL fixture and best betting markets in our full team preview.
