After a sizzling start to the 2022 campaign, the Los Angeles Angels are stuck in their first extended funk of the season. So it’s not exactly the ideal time to be visiting Yankee Stadium to face baseball’s best team. But even though Angels vs Yankees odds reveal the Halos as decided underdogs in Tuesday’s series […]
The Best Bets series is coming off another profitable week, extending its overall record to 99-94-2. That’s a 51.3 percent win rate for those keeping score at home. Our Best Bets selections mostly have been NBA-centric since March Madness ended. But with Game 1 of the NBA Finals not tipping off until Thursday, our crew […]
There’s a new favorite on the AL Cy Young odds board — and he just happens to be an old face. That’s right, Houston Astros (once-again) ace and two-time Cy Young recipient Justin Verlander is now favored to take home the hardware for the third time in his career. Not too bad for a 39-year-old […]
NL Cy Young odds have gotten two noteworthy jolts this season. And unfortunately for the New York Mets, they’ve provided both those shake-ups, losing two of the best pitchers in MLB. Just before the season started, Jacob deGrom was shelved by a shoulder issue. He’s still not back in the rotation. Now, Max Scherzer has […]
It’s not often that a team carrying MLB’s best record heading into Memorial Day Weekend is an underdog in the betting market. Yet that’s where the New York Yankees find themselves Friday, as Yankees vs Rays odds for the second game of a four-game series in Florida reveal Tampa Bay as a slight home favorite. […]
The staff ace of the New York Yankees is … Nestor Cortes? New York’s apple eatin’ mustache man has been stellar this season, taking a no-no into the eighth inning three starts back against Texas, then twirling eight innings of three-hit, one-run ball two starts ago against the White Sox. It’s only in his last […]
Los Angeles Angels rookie pitcher Reid Detmers experienced the highs and lows of baseball in his past two starts. After throwing a no-hitter against the Rays in just his 11th career start May 10, he didn’t make it out of the fourth inning against the Rangers in Texas on May 17. Now Detmers faces the […]
The New York Mets treated San Francisco’s Oracle Park like their personal playground Monday night. Round and round the bases went Pete Alonso and Co., and when the music finally stopped, New York had collected 18 hits (including three home runs) in a 13-3 shellacking of the Giants. Less than 24 hours later, the Mets […]
Major League Baseball keeps setting ’em up, and the San Diego Padres keep knocking ’em down — but apparently not with enough force to impress bookmakers. After San Diego rallied for its fifth straight victory Monday night, Padres vs Brewers odds are back on the board Tuesday, with the Swinging Friars listed as a … […]
So who out there in Wager Land wants a piece of the Baltimore Orioles at juicy plus-money odds against Gerrit Cole in the Bronx tonight? What about the Washington Nationals as a fat, near-$2 underdog at home against the L.A. Dodgers? Eh, you’re not alone in violently shaking your head, as MLB betting action swings […]
Before breaking down Brewers vs Padres odds for Monday’s opener of a three-game series at Petco Park, here’s a quick reminder of these franchises’ shared history: Both entered MLB together in 1969, with the Brewers spending their first year as the Seattle Pilots. And in 54 seasons since, neither has won a World Series — […]
Their $340 million shortstop hasn’t played a single inning (and won’t until probably July). Their co-ace pitcher didn’t make his season debut until 48 hours ago. And they’ve hit seven fewer home runs (30) than they’ve allowed (37). Despite all that, the San Diego Padres enter Friday with the fifth-best record in baseball (tied with […]
