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 […]

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 […]
