Baseball Betting: American League Power Poll

There are still only five teams in the American League to be on the plus side of the sports MLB betting proceedings this year thanks to how strongly the Rangers have played. It doesn’t look like anyone can run them down in the near future, but will someone step up and go on a run? Check out BetUS’s list of the top AL $$$ teams in the bigs continuing into June… 1) Texas Rangers (33-23, +$1,296) (3-3, +$158 LW) (LW: 1) When you play three games in Yankee Stadium and three games at Fenway Park... 

MLB Betting: National League Power Rankings

In spite of the fact that the Dodgers are head and shoulders above the rest of the National League, there are still plenty of teams that are making baseball bettors happy. As the month of June continues, check out BetUS Sportsbook’s MLB Betting power poll of teams that are making sports betting aficionados money this season… 1) Los Angeles Dodgers (39-20, +$1,739) (4-3, +$27 LW) (LW: 1) Another week down, and the Dodgers are still atop the poll as the best team in baseball. They split a great... 

LA Angels vs Tampa Bay Rays Betting Line

Tuesday’s Los Angeles at Tampa Bay matchup is what many thought could be an American League Championship Series preview before the season began, but instead we have two teams who have been pretty mediocre all season and hoping not to fall too far behind in their respective divisions. The Rays have opened as -132 money line favorites for Game 1 of this series on Tuesday. The good news for Tampa Bay is that its best player, Evan Longoria, returned to the starting lineup Monday against the Yankees... 

MLB Betting: Tampa Bay Rays at New York Yankees

So who is your favorite Andy? Yes, the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees finish their three-game series (well, it was supposed to be four but Friday’s game was rained out) tonight in the Bronx with Tampa Bay’s Andy Sonnanstine opposing the Yanks’ Andy Pettitte. Sonnanstine was potentially close to losing his spot in the rotation as he had been struggling. But he had one of his sharpest outings of the season last Tuesday against Kansas City, allowing two runs on six hits in 6 2/3 innings for... 

Toronto Blue Jays at Texas Ragers Preview

Good news for the Toronto Blue Jays, as it appears the slump of star second baseman Aaron Hill is over. Hill was probably the main reason the Jays occupied first place in the AL East for the first month or so of the season, but he had been in a 0-for-25 skid entering Sunday’s game against the Royals. But he hit a two-run blast on Sunday to push his team-leading totals to 13 homers and 40 RBIs. “It was a relief to help the team with something instead of just defense,” said Hill. Now Toronto... 

LA Dodgers vs Chicago Cubs: Series Preview

Online sports betting handicappers thought that a Dodgers vs Cubs betting matchup could potentially be a National League Pennant preview. In reality, the two teams couldn’t be any more opposite right now as the Dodgers are the best team in baseball – even without Manny Ramirez –while the Cubs are in their worst rut of the young season. Dodgers vs Cubs odds: Dodgers cruising, Cubs struggling * Dodgers 9-3 in last 12 games; Cubs have lost eight of their last nine * Cubs starting pitching has... 

MLB Odds: Chicago White Sox at LA Angels

The Chicago White Sox offense has been an issue this year, so the news that arguably the team’s best hitter, outfielder Carlos Quentin, will be out at least the rest of this week does not bode well for White Sox bettors on WagerWeb.com. And indeed the Sox are big +167 money line underdogs on WagerWeb.com for tonight’s game against the Angels. Quentin returned to Chicago on Wednesday in a move that could eventually determine whether he can avoid the 15-day disabled list. He will be examined by... 

Boston Red Sox at Minnesota Twins MLB Game Preview

The Boston Red Sox tried benching struggling DH David Ortiz, but that didn’t shake Big Papi out of his season-long slump. So on Tuesday night, Ortiz hit sixth in the lineup against the Minnesota Twins. Ortiz carried a .195 average and one home run into the game and for the first time in four years found his name somewhere other than third in the lineup. He had one hit in three official at-bats in the 5-2 loss. The lineup shift is designed to take pressure off Ortiz so he can return to his usual... 

Atlanta Braves at San Francisco Giants Preview

The San Francisco Giants have had the Atlanta Braves’ number out West of late, beating them 4-0 behind Tim Lincecum on Tuesday for their sixth win over Atlanta in seven games at AT&T Park dating back to 2007. The Braves’ 12-20 record at the park is their worst since 2000 at any stadium where they’ve played at least 15 games. Yet Atlanta is a slight -113 money line favorite on WagerWeb.com for Wednesday’s game. That’s probably because of the struggles of Giants lefty Randy Johnson, who...
