The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets are finally tangling after posting the best records in the National League nearly one-third of the way into the 2022 season. In the opener of a four-game set Thursday, the Dodgers halted their three-game losing skid and also stopped the Mets’ six-game winning streak with a 2-0…
Thursday’s trio of Best Bets looked good … until they didn’t. For instance, we needed Boston forward Grant Williams to snag at least four rebounds. He grabbed two in the first three minutes, but only found one board the rest of the game. Cue the meme: Hide the pain, Harold! Friday’s Best Bets bring fresh…
About the only thing that can keep the Los Angeles Angels from losing baseball games these days is Mother Nature — and even then, the losses are only delayed. After Wednesday’s game at Yankee Stadium was rained out, the Angels returned to the field Thursday afternoon and lost 6-1 in a rain-delayed opener of a…
The San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers have already penciled themselves into the thick of the National League playoff race this season. The Brewers lead the NL Central, and the Padres are only three games behind the powerhouse Dodgers in the NL West. Record-wise, Milwaukee and San Diego are two of the four NL teams…
The extra rest served us well. After taking Memorial Day off, we started the week with a perfect 3-0 effort with Tuesday’s Best Bets. That brings us to 102-94-2 overall since we started this Best Bets experiment — good for a solid 52 percent win rate. Let’s keep the momentum with three Best Bets for…
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…
