MLB Team Preview – Los Angeles Angels

Few MLB odds competitors have had easier rides over the last five years than the Los Angeles Angels. Consistently fielding strong, well-rounded teams and sharing a division with weak competition have translated into four AL West titles in the last five years. Though the Angels made a few changes in the offseason, they remain strong in virtually every area, so there’s no reason for online sports betting fans to expect anything less than continued success in 2009.

MLB Team Preview – Oakland Athletics

In MLB betting, general managers don’t come much crazier than Billy Beane. The man who popularized Moneyball was thinking outside the box again this offseason, but not in his usual sense. Sure, he grabbed another handful of on-base machines from free agency, but they weren’t they typical no-name guys whose peripheral stats suggested breakouts.

PGA Betting – Woods Overwhelming Favorite At Bay Hill

Golf betting odds are throwing their weight behind Tiger Woods this weekend in the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club and Lodge, and that’s no surprise given that Woods is the defending champion and has won this event five times in the past. But there are still some solid sportsbook options out there besides the world No.1, including a 25-year veteran who has been one of the best on the Tour over the last year.

2009 Texas Rangers Wins Predictions – Lines & Baseball Props

Texas Rangers (2008 Record: 79-83, 2nd place in AL West, 21 GB)

Since their late ’90’s run of division titles and playoff appearances, the Rangers have done a complete about face when it comes to winning baseball. With the exception of a decent 2004 season under Buck Showalter, in which they finished 16 games above .500, this team has failed to push their record into the black in ten years.

America’s Team was the model of consistency between 1991 and 2005, winning 14 division titles, 4 National League pennants, and 1 World Series in that span. Anchored by dominant pitching staffs and led by the legendary Bobby Cox, the Braves were the class of the NL year after year. The tide has shifted, however, and Atlanta has been unable to punch its ticket to the post-season for three seasons running.
