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 […]
With 12 baseball games under the lights, it’s no surprise to discover some differences of opinion in Friday’s MLB betting market. But the majority of moneyline cash landing on the Reds (against Toronto)? And the Rangers (at Houston)? And the Pirates (vs. St. Louis)? And the Royals (vs. Minnesota)? Looks like there’s some serious dog […]
Preseason expectations are already starting to recede for two teams that face off Thursday. The Boston Red Sox reached the American League Championship Series last year but are already 13 games out of first place in the AL East. The Seattle Mariners just missed ending a 20-year postseason drought in 2021 and got off to […]
In case you didn’t know, this pitcher for the Mets named (checks notes) Max Scherzer is pretty good at throwing a baseball. How good you ask? Well, he’s 4-1 on the season, and that lone blemish represents his first regular-season loss in 343 days. Scherzer gave up 10 hits and three earned runs as the […]

In Monday’s MLB betting report, we noted just one matchup that featured definitive two-way action. Tuesday presents more of the same, at least at DraftKings, where there’s just one game in which wagers are going one direction and cash is going the other. And what do you know, as was the case Monday, the same […]
It took 46 games and 11 series, but the New York Mets finally came out on the short end of a series after dropping two of three to the Mariners at Citi Field over the weekend. Now the Mets host a St. Louis Cardinals squad that just tallied 20 runs in consecutive home victories over […]
Maybe you’re a recreational player who occasionally dabbles in the MLB betting market. Or maybe you’re a full-on seamhead running 14 different win-probability analytics models for every game, every day. Either way, you’re probably curious which way the stick-and-ball action is going at various sportsbooks each day. Is one particular game seeing lopsided action on […]
Not exactly our finest effort with Best Bets last week. But we’re primed to bounce back like a baseball ricocheting off the foul pole for a home run. Why the baseball analogy? The answer can be found in the headline. That’s right, after a flurry of Game 7s in the NBA or NHL over the […]
Is this Giants vs Cardinals series a preview of things to come in October? Both fanbases certainly hope so, and the expansion to a 12-team playoff improves the chances of both teams getting in. Of course, we are only about one-fifth of the way through this MLB season, and a lot can happen in the […]
The Houston Astros were playing .500 baseball on May 1, but two weeks later, they’re on the cusp of the greatest winning streak in team history. The Astros have won 11 in a row and can tie the club record with a 12th straight victory Saturday against the Washington Nationals. With Houston heating up, prominent […]
