Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale is going back to his hometown team for his latest multimillion-dollar futures wagers. The Houston furniture store owner has thrown down a combined $4 million on the Astros to win the World Series for a potential score of $42 million. Caesars Sportsbook confirmed a bet of $3 million to win $30 […]
The Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays are trying to shake off a rough few days as they stare up at the New York Yankees in the American League East standings. The division rivals meet Friday in Tampa Bay, with each sending out more-than-capable starters in the Blue Jays’ Kevin Gausman and the Rays’ […]
Similar to the American League, the National League has a clear front runner in the Rookie of the Year contest. Seiya Suzuki has blasted onto the scene for the Chicago Cubs, looking to join the likes of Japanese-born superstars such as Shohei Ohtani and Ichiro Suzuki. Having said that, there’s some interesting competition battling Suzuki […]
Something’s gotta give Thursday night in Chicago. The White Sox are heating up, and the New York Yankees aren’t cooling down. Both teams were pegged among the top American League contenders in the preseason. While the Yankees have certainly lived up to the billing, the White Sox have been a little slow out of the […]
However bad your week is going, it can’t possibly be worse than what the Tampa Bay Rays are experiencing. After seeing their season-high six-game winning streak end with Sunday’s 2-1 loss at Seattle, the Rays headed to southern California to face the Angels and got boat-raced by a combined score of 23-3 on Monday and […]
The Houston Astros took the field in Minnesota on Tuesday night armed with a season-best seven-game winning streak. The Twins took the field having won nine consecutive home games. Thanks largely to yet another dominant pitching gem — this one by the ageless Justin Verlander — Houston’s streak is still alive. Can the ’Stros make […]
Want to make some life-changing money in short order betting sports? Apparently just start firing in-game wagers on Major League Baseball teams trailing by six runs in the ninth inning. It worked for New York Mets backers last week and Cleveland Guardians bettors Monday night. Facing an 8-2 deficit in Chicago, the Guardians rallied for […]
Just one game separates the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants in the hotly contested NL West. However, the MLB betting standings reveal the Rockies (+3.97 units, 6th place) to be far more profitable than the Giants (+1.04 units, 15th place). Colorado also has a 4-1 record behind Tuesday’s starting pitcher, Antonio Senzatela, who sports […]
When you think of Minnesota, the word “hot” rarely comes to mind. But the Twins certainly deserve that description right now as they’re riding a nine-game home winning streak heading into Tuesday’s game against the visiting Astros. On the other hand, Houston is no stranger to the heat (weather and baseball-wise). Sure enough, the Astros […]
Maybe a team with Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout on the roster actually can win. The Los Angeles Angels duo has collected four American League MVP awards over the past eight seasons. But with that hardware has come only one postseason appearance and no playoff victories. That could finally change this season, as the Angels […]
Heading into the 2022 MLB season, expectations were sky high for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Chicago Cubs? Not so much. So far, both squads are making preseason prognosticators look prescient. Following Saturday’s dominant doubleheader sweep at Wrigley Field, the Dodgers are riding a five-game winning streak and have matched the Yankees for baseball’s best […]
It all began innocently enough Thursday night, in the top of the ninth inning between the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies. The Mets, trailing 7-1 in a game seemingly lost, got an infield single from Starling Marte to open the inning. A nice effort, sure, but something to worry about in the MLB betting […]
