This Week in MLB Baseball Betting By the Numbers
by Aaron Smith - 6/10/2013
We’re about one third of the way through the Major League Baseball season. It’s always important to take a step back and realize how long the season is and how streaks and slumps are going to come and go multiple times during the year. Just like the best baseball teams, even the best baseball bettors will have some nasty slumps. Keeping perspective is extremely important in being a successful baseball bettor.
MLB Totals Betting Analysis and Wagering Tips
by Indian Cowboy - 6/10/2013
Some baseball teams are involved in a lot of high-scoring games. Other teams play a lot of low-scoring affairs. But scoring a lot of runs, and/or giving up a lot of runs, doesn't necessarily mean a team will play a lot of “overs”. Reversely, teams that have trouble scoring but also possess strong pitching don't necessarily play mostly “unders”.
MLB Handicapping and Betting: the Bullpen Report
by Aaron Smith - 6/5/2013
Bullpen blowups seem to come more frequently than they did in the past. The starter does his job and leaves the game with a lead, only to see the bullpen come in and ruin all that hard work. It’s frustrating for the starting pitcher, and it’s definitely frustrating for the bettor who ends up tearing up a losing ticket.
MLB Handicapping Hot/Cold Pitchers and Hitters Betting Report
by Ricky Dimon - 6/4/2013
Quick. Who is leading the National League in home runs? Justin Upton? Nope. Carlos Beltran? No sir. Carlos Gonzalez? Negatory. The answer you are looking for is none other than Domonic Brown. The same Domonic Brown who had never recorded more than 187 at-bats in three previous major-league seasons.
MLB Betting and Handicapping: Scouting the Week Ahead
by Alan Matthews - 6/4/2013
I think this is the make-or-break week for Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly. The Dodgers, with their National League-record $217 million payroll, are simply a mess right now, sitting last in the NL West. Matt Kemp is on the disabled list, not that he was hitting much before landing there.
This Week in MLB Baseball Betting By the Numbers
by Aaron Smith - 6/3/2013
It was an exciting week of interleague action last week, but for most teams it is back to facing familiar foes this week. The Mets four-game sweep of the Yankees really caught everyone off guard during Interleague action. That sweep as well as their series win in the Bronx put the Boston Red Sox back ahead in the American League East.
Weekend MLB Odds and Previews for Top Series
by Robert Ferringo - 5/31/2013
Every week I highlight the weekend’s most interesting baseball series with a breakdown of the odds, pitching matchups and key subplots. But this weekend there are simply too many fantastic matchups to limit our focus to just one, and following this week’s horrendous interleague play (seriously, what the hell was going on with the 2-and-2 series’?) we are rewarded with one of the best weekend slates of the entire season.
MLB Handicapping: High-Value Pitchers
by Trevor Whenham - 5/29/2013
Handicapping baseball is so different than other sports. In most sports you have to focus so much on the whole team — how they are performing and how they match up with an opponent. The nature of baseball, though, means you can look a lot more closely at one player — the pitcher — and what opportunities he can create.
This Week in MLB Baseball Betting By the Numbers

Two months into this year’s MLB season, and it is the St. Louis Cardinals with the best record in baseball. The Cardinals are 34-17 and putting on quite a show for their fans. Heading into the season, everyone knew the Cardinals had a terrific lineup. However, few could have guessed that the Cardinals would have the best team ERA in baseball at this point in the year. To say that the young starters for St. Louis have been great this year is a major understatement.
MLB Betting and Handicapping: Totals Trends Report
by Aaron Smith - 5/28/2013
The Memorial Day holiday is in the past, and the weather is quickly heating up. This is generally the time of the year where the ball starts flying a little better at many parks, and we start to see higher totals. It isn’t as easy as just betting the “over,” though, because the oddsmakers will definitely take into account the warmer weather when setting the lines for each game.
MLB Series Picks: Yankees at Rays Odds and Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 5/24/2013
New York travels to Florida this weekend for a three-game set with rival Tampa Bay. New York (28-18) is four games ahead of the Rays (24-22) right now, and the Yankees have overcome all manner of injury to get off to this hot start. But the main question surrounding New York is, just how long can guys like Vernon Wells, Lyle Overbay and Travis Hafner – guys left for dead entering this year – continue to carry water for the Bronx Bombers?
MLB Handicapping: Can Pirates Make the Postseason?
by Trevor Whenham - 5/24/2013
If the playoffs were to start today, the Pittsburgh Pirates would be a wild-card team. It’s not even close, either — they have a full three game lead over Colorado and Arizona. Now, it’s only May, so it is far too early to get excited — especially because Pittsburgh started strong last year before remembering who they are.
MLB Handicapping: Washington Nationals Struggles
by Trevor Whenham - 5/24/2013
Don’t the Nationals realize that they are supposed to be an elite team? Don’t they know that I picked them to win the World Series? They sure haven’t played like they do. Despite coming into the season with massive expectations befitting the preseason favorites to win the National League, they currently sit just one game above .500 at 24-23. They sit 4.5 games behind the Braves in the division and five games behind the Pirates and Reds in the wild-card hunt.
MLB Handicapping and Betting: the Bullpen Report
by Aaron Smith - 5/21/2013
Nothing ticks a baseball bettor off more than a bullpen blowing a seemingly sure victory. I’d like to say that this is a rare occurrence, but we all know that isn’t true. It seems as if the quality of bullpen pitchers has gone downhill over the past few years. There are still some great relievers, but there certainly isn’t an abundance of depth.
MLB Handicapping Hot/Cold Pitchers and Hitters Betting Report
by Ricky Dimon - 5/21/2013
Miguel Cabrera isn’t necessarily hot at the moment. He’s just plain good in general. The same can almost be said for Justin Masterson, who has been on a steady burn for the most part this year. Chris Sale? Brandon McCarthy? Now those guys are hot. At the other end of the spectrum, some big names like Barry Zito and Ichiro Suzuki are struggling. It’s time to take another look at the hot-cold meter as the 2013 season approaches the end of its second month (all odds provided by Sportsbook.ag).
This Week in MLB Baseball Betting By the Numbers
by Aaron Smith - 5/20/2013
One quarter of the MLB season is now complete. It’s still very early in the year, but it looks like we’ll see some great races in several different divisions. The AL East, NL Central, NL West, and AL Central all look like they have potential to be great races. If the Nationals ever start playing like they really should, then the NL East could be added to that list as well.
Reds at Phillies Picks, Odds and MLB Series Predictions
by Robert Ferringo - 5/17/2013
Two teams stalking their respective division leaders will lock horns in the City of Brotherly Love this weekend as Cincinnati takes a six-game winning streak to Philadelphia for a set against the Phillies. The Reds, currently with the second-best record in the National League, have pulled back-to-back sweeps to get within 1.5 games of St. Louis.
This Week in MLB Baseball Betting By the Numbers
by Aaron Smith - 5/15/2013
At the last installment of this report, the Boston Red Sox were in first place in the AL East. Baseball is a long season, but that doesn’t mean things can’t change quickly. Fast forward to this week, and the Red Sox are three games behind the red-hot New York Yankees.
MLB Betting and Handicapping: Totals Trends Report
by Aaron Smith - 5/14/2013
We’re halfway through the month of May, and the baseball action is heating up as the weather slowly warms up. After Boston shot out of the gates, it is the New York Yankees who now sit at the top of the AL East standings with the best record in baseball. The Bronx Bombers aren’t letting injuries slow them down.
MLB Handicapping Hot/Cold Pitchers and Hitters Betting Report
by Ricky Dimon - 5/14/2013
The Brewers are a disappointing 16-20 because they have given up 178 runs, more than any other team in the National League. As for their hitting, however, Ryan Braun is having a solid season, and he is getting help not only from Carlos Gomez but also from someone named Jean Segura. Segura is not merely the hottest player on his team; he is the hottest player in baseball.
