Orioles at Red Sox Picks and MLB Betting Odds
by Alan Matthews - 4/10/2013

I realize the 2013 Major League Baseball season is barely a week old, but it already looks like both the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles are what I thought they would be. The teams had a rare off day Tuesday before resuming their three-game series Wednesday night at Fenway.

Athletics at Angels Picks and MLB Betting Odds
by Dave Schwab - 4/9/2013

The Oakland Athletics and the Los Angeles Angels kick off a three-game set this Tuesday night at Angels Stadium in the first meeting this season between the AL West rivals. The game is slated to get underway at 10:05 p.m. (ET), and it will be available on MLB Extra Innings.

Mets at Phillies Picks and MLB Betting Odds
by Alan Matthews - 4/8/2013

Yeah, I'd say it's time to start worrying about Roy Halladay if you are a Philadelphia Phillies backer. All those innings finally caught up to the two-time Cy Young winner last year, as “Doc” finished 11-8 with a 4.49 ERA in 25 starts, easily his worst season in years.

Pirates at Dodgers Picks and MLB Betting Odds
by Alan Matthews - 4/6/2013

There have been four contracts worth at least $200 million given out in Major League Baseball history, and all were to position players: Alex Rodriguez (twice), Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder. It seems only a matter of time that a pitcher joins that group, and it's almost certainly going to be the Los Angeles Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw.

Angels at Rangers Picks and MLB Betting Odds
by Alan Matthews - 4/5/2013

Josh Hamilton will go down as one of the greatest Texas Rangers of all time, no doubt about it. He was also incredibly popular there for the vast majority of his career, thanks in part to having overcome some personal addiction demons. However, things fell apart late last season for Hamilton, and it probably ensured he wouldn't re-sign with the team as a free agent this offseason.

Red Sox at Yankees Picks and MLB Betting Odds
by Alan Matthews - 4/3/2013

I'm not saying New York Yankees fans should panic quite yet, but I fully expect that the team misses the playoffs for only the second time since 1995. As I'm sure everyone knows by now, almost every recognizable name in the Yanks' lineup is on the disabled list to start the season. Thus, this was the lineup Joe Girardi wrote out for Monday's opener against Boston, a 8-2 Red Sox win: CF Brett Gardner, SS Eduardo Nunez, 2B Robinson Cano, 1B Kevin Youkilis, LF Vernon Wells, DH Ben Francisco (normally would be Travis Hafner, but he came off bench with the Yanks facing a lefty starter), RF Ichiro Suzuki, 3B Jayson Nix and C Francisco Cervelli.

Indians at Blue Jays Picks and MLB Betting Odds
by Dave Schwab - 4/2/2013

The Cleveland Indians and the Toronto Blue Jays will kick off their 2013 MLB regular season campaign this Tuesday night at the Rogers Centre in the first of a three-game set. This American League matchup is slated to get underway at 7:07 p.m. (ET), and it will be available on MLB Extra Innings.
