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 […]

It’s getaway day across the MLB landscape Thursday, which means a bunch of matinee affairs on the schedule. In fact, just two of 13 games are under the lights, with one of them taking place in Atlanta, where the Cubs and Braves square off in the rubber match of a three-game series. Despite both teams […]

If you asked a bunch of sports bettors — both professional and recreational — which sport they most enjoy betting, there’s a good chance the answer wouldn’t be the NFL. Or college football. Or college or pro hoops. Rather, the consensus choice probably would be baseball. The reason? Sheer volume. With 30 teams playing 162 […]

The Seattle Mariners have won seven of their last eight games, scoring 53 runs in the process. They’re 11-6 on the season and 22-9 dating back to mid-September. And they have completely owned the Tampa Bay Rays in recent years, winning 21 of the last 28 meetings (including seven of the last eight). So of […]

For baseball fans, spotting the Seattle Mariners in first place is akin to UFO believers laying eyes on an actual spaceship: You know in your heart it’s possible; you just don’t think you’ll ever see it. And yet here we are nearly three weeks into the 2022 season, and the Mariners are indeed perched atop […]

The New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals engaged in a thrilling opener to a three-game series Monday — well, thrilling to those who aren’t Cardinals fans. Or Under bettors. After the teams scored precisely zero runs through the seventh-inning stretch, they combined for seven before recording the next six outs. The result: A 5-2 Mets […]

Even if you’re just a casual baseball bettor, you know that most teams have needed Siri’s help to find home plate this season. The St. Louis Cardinals certainly can relate. Since scoring 25 runs in their first four games against two of baseball’s worst teams (Pirates and Royals), St. Louis has touched home plate 35 […]

Rafael Devers, J.D. Martinez, Trevor Story, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., George Springer, Bo Bichette. Yep, there’s one sure-fire way to make some dough every time Red Sox vs Blue Jays odds hit the board: Bet on a low-scoring snoozefest. Wait, what? It’s true: The Under has cashed in seven of the last 10 meetings between these […]
