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 […]

Someone was apparently working on an “Uncut Gems” sequel Wednesday night in New York. Caesars Sportsbook reported that an Empire State bettor hit a 16-leg $6.90 parlay that paid $219,746.19. Yes, that’s right: a payout of about 31,847-1. Props.com offers details on the long-shot winner that’s like something out of a sports betting movie. Playing […]

The narrative that has dominated the first month of the 2022 MLB season can be summed up in three words. No, not “The Reds suck” (although that’s not inaccurate). Rather, we’re talking about these three words: low scoring games. As pitchers continue to light up the radar gun and hitters continue to swing for (and […]

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 […]
