    Default Philadelphia vs. Oakland MLB Predictions

    The Phillies open a three-game sports betting interleague series against the surprising Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night while suffering through their worst losing streak in two years. The Phillies have lost five straight baseball betting contests and even though their most consistent pitcher, Jamie Moyer, takes the mound tonight the Athletics will not be an easy online wagering opponent for the Phillies to overcome. Moyer has a pretty good record of 7 and 4 on the season. Baseball betting fans could do worse then to throw their weight, and dollars, behind this forty-five year old man. His ERA is a decent 4.09.

    The Athletics counter with pitcher Joe Blanton. Blanton’s had some bad luck this season. His ERA isn’t the worst I’ve seen all year - - not even close actually - - but it’s not that great. Currently, Blanton’s ERA is 4.81. His record is a terrible 3 and 10 on the season. That means that, from an MLB betting point-of-view, Blanton just isn’t getting the needed run support for sportsbook betting faithful to feel safe putting money on him.

    Here are the BetUS online sportsbook betting odds for this game:

    Philadelphia Phillies
    Jamie Moyer – L + 1 ½ - 225 - 105 O 9 + 105

    Oakland Athletics
    Joe Blanton – R - 1 ½ + 185 - 115 U 9 - 125

    Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game:

    The Philadelphia Phillies are 6 and 1 in Jamie Moyer’s last seven starts on grass.
    The Philadelphia Phillies are 4 and 1 in Jamie Moyer’s last five starts as an underdog on the road.
    The Oakland Athletics are 2 and 9 in Joe Blanton’s last eleven starts at home.
    The Oakland Athletics are 0 and 4 in Joe Blanton’s last four starts on grass.

    The trends are obvious. Jamie Moyer makes sense as a play on the run-line, but in reality he should be the BetUS online betting favorite in this game.

    He isn’t which means that baseball betting fans will have to put up an extra one-hundred and twenty-five bucks in order to get the 1 ½ runs on Moyer.

    Forget that when the trends all point to the Phillies breaking their losing streak in this game. The streak now stands at five games. Philadelphia dropped two out of three against the Red Sox and was swept by the Angels.

    I expect them to bounce back in this series. I’ll be making an online wager on the Philadelphia Phillies to beat the Oakland Athletics straight-up in this game at the BetUS online odds of – 105.

    The Phillies are too good to keep losing and Moyer is the perfect antidote, along with a match-up against Joe Blanton, to soothe what ails them.
