Two of the American League’s playoff teams from last season are two of the biggest disappointments in baseball so far this season. The Boston Red Sox lost to Houston in the ALCS last fall, but they find themselves in the AL East cellar early in 2022. Meanwhile, the Chicago White Sox have a losing record […]
Every year, a new wave of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed young guns enter the MLB. However, the expectations and pressure to perform are different if you are the No. 1 overall pick. After all, your team has placed enough confidence in you to hopefully make an immediate impact in a struggling organization. Just ask 2020’s first […]
The Seattle Mariners aren’t playing Kansas City anymore. After starting 11-6 — including a 9-2 run that stretched to late April — the Mariners have lost seven of eight to fall below .500 for the season. Seattle does get to send out reigning American League Cy Young winner Robbie Ray against Tampa Bay on Thursday. […]
Sporting an impressive 18-9 record, the New York Mets lead the NL East by 4.5 games. It’s a different story in Philadelphia, as the Phillies have lost four of five, dropping to 11-14 overall on the season. However, none of that seems to matter when it comes to the Mets vs Phillies odds on Thursday, […]
Betting on baseball is easy, apparently. Just throw some bucks down on the New York Yankees, get paid, then reinvest the next day. The Yankees extended their winning streak to 11 on Tuesday, and they’re favored to keep it going again Wednesday in the series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays. With the Bronx Bombers […]
Last summer, they combined for 213 wins against just 111 defeats, and by season’s end only one game separated the two bitter rivals. And yet after an offseason of roster shuffling, here are the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers yet again separated by the thinnest of hairs heading into their first of 19 […]
The Toronto Blue Jays have the man to stop the New York Yankees’ lengthy win streak. At least that’s what sportsbooks are saying based on the odds for Tuesday’s game. Despite the Yankees having won 10 in a row, including a victory in Toronto on Monday, the Blue Jays are favored Tuesday to trim New […]
The New York Yankees’ current nine-game winning streak has featured a little bit of everything: pitchers’ duels, slugfests, nailbiters and blowouts. It’s also featured a bunch of punching-bag opponents. All nine victories came against Cleveland, Baltimore and Kansas City (the first six at home). And the Bronx Bombers were at least a -170 favorite in […]
The Philadelphia Phillies took a game from the New York Mets on Saturday, but turning that into a winning streak could be an uphill climb. And that uphill climb’s name is Max Scherzer, who will be the starting pitcher for the Mets on Sunday. The ace hasn’t lost in his first four starts for New […]
You’ve heard the cliché, “Two teams going in opposite directions.” It certainly applies to the Los Angeles Angels and Chicago White Sox — with the Halos moving toward the sun and the Pale Hose nearing Pluto. So it’s only natural to do a double-take when looking at Angles vs White Sox odds for Friday’s series […]
The New York Mets woke up today with the most wins in baseball and the best record in baseball. They also woke up refreshed, having been idle Thursday after playing 20 games in 21 days to begin the season. New York will try to remain on top of the MLB mountain when it welcomes the […]
The NL Cy Young odds tell a similar story to last year when it comes to picking a winner. Reigning award holder, Corbin Burnes, led the majors with 12.6 strikeouts per nine innings and 6.88 strikeouts to walks, yet bettors are looking elsewhere in 2022. So which pitchers are capturing the imagination (and wallet) of […]
