by Devon Rymarchuk - 6/21/2022

With roughly 100 games left in the MLB regular season, and All-Star break a month away, I believe it is official, we are entering the dog days of summer. The AL East is the strongest division in baseball right now, with three of the five teams in the playoff picture and the fourth team, Boston Red Sox, only a couple games behind. The New York Yankees are on pace for a 119-win season, The only other years they’ve matched that success through 65 games?

Boston has turned their season around. And though they are very unlikely to catch the New York Yankees in the AL East, they have themselves back in wild-card contention. Among the reasons for the turnaround is Friday’s expected starting pitcher Michael Wacha, who is 4-1 with a 2.33 ERA. The Red Sox right-hander has not been able to stay healthy, but this season he has, and Boston has won seven of his 10 starts. Wacha will have extra motivation, facing his former team, St. Louis.

After a good start to the season, Colorado has settled into last place in the NL West, where they are expected to battle Arizona for that spot the rest of the season. The Rockies' start was a mirage as they can no longer cover up the fact that they allow almost six runs per game. Playing at Coors Field covers up a mediocre offense that is 28th in scoring on the road thus far.

2021 AL West Predictions and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 4/1/2021

Two years ago, the Houston Astros were -800 to win the American League West. Playing the regular season was a mere formality, and Houston ended up taking the division title with 107 wins and a 10-game margin over second-place Oakland. Last year Oakland won the West in the truncated 60-game season.

2021 NL West Predictions and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 4/1/2021

The Los Angeles Dodgers were finally able to shake off several recent heartbreaks, specifically losing in the World Series in 2017 and 2018 to the cheating-their-asses Astros and Red Sox, respectively, and claim L.A.’s first world championship in over 30 years. The Dodgers were able to take that next crucial step and become champions. Now they want to take another step and become a dynasty.

2021 NL East Predictions and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 4/1/2021

The National League East is by far the best division in baseball. It is the only division with four teams boasting season win totals of 81.5 or higher, and this group could produce one of the best pennant races of the decade. Atlanta has won three straight division titles and is the favorite to do it again. But the Mets loaded up with one of the biggest offseasons in baseball, Washington still has the starting staff intact from their 2019 World Series championship team, and Philadelphia might be the most underrated team in all of baseball right now.

2021 NL Central Predictions and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 4/1/2021

For my money, the National League Central is the most competitive division in baseball. It is definitely not the best division in the Major Leagues. It isn’t even the second-best division. But with four legitimate contenders for the N.L. Central crown, this division could provide us with one of the best races of the season.

2021 AL Central Predictions and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 4/1/2021

This division is still pathetic. I’ve read all kinds of missives about Minnesota’s potential as a World Series sleeper and Chicago’s priming for a return to relevance. It’s all nonsense. The American League Central is by far the most pathetic division in baseball. And winning the worst division in the sport doesn’t make a team a true competitor for the American League crown.

2021 AL East Predictions and Expert Betting Advice
by Robert Ferringo - 3/31/2021

If betting value is what you crave, then I must direct you away from the American League East this MLB betting season. The East is one of the most highly publicized divisions in baseball. New York and Boston are two of the sport’s biggest draws, and Tampa Bay is the defending American League champion. Toronto is also an exciting team full of young, up-and-coming stars and has enjoyed its share of headlines.

2021 Cleveland Indians Predictions and Odds to Win the World Series
by Chris Vasile - 3/29/2021

Since 1995, the Cleveland Indians have been a franchise that has produced mixed results. The Indians earned spots in two World Series in a three-year span between 1995 and 1997 but would ultimately lose out on both of them to the Braves and Marlins, respectively. Since then, the Indians have two appearances in the ALCS (losses) and one World Series appearance, which was also a loss.
