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 […]

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.

It’s only in his last […]

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 […]

Less than 24 hours later, the Mets […]
