Where’s The Money At?
One month into the baseball betting marathon that is the MLB regular season is behind us and there have been some surprises thus far.
Let’s have a quick look at this opening month from a bettor’s perspective.
1) Who is the best “money” team in the AL East?
The Boston Red Sox? No.
The Tampa Bay Rays? Wrong again.

It’s the Toronto Blue Jays and in fact, the Jays aren’t only the top team money team in the AL East, they are the top money team in the AL and second best in all the majors.
As of Wednesday, the Jays are 20-10 overall with a profitable 11-4 record at home and a healthy 9-6 record on the road.
A $100 a game bettor would have a profit of approximately $950 if they wagered on every Jay game this season so far (depending on the lines when they bet on Toronto).
Over/Under bettors can take note. The Jays have posted 19 overs and 11 unders so far this year.
Toronto hasn’t played many games against teams from its own division so far but it has played a three-game set against the Baltimore Orioles and it swept the O’s 3-0.
You can’t win in baseball without good pitching and the Jays have two pitchers who rank in the Top-10 MLB money pitchers.
As the ace of Toronto’s rotation, you expect wins from Roy Halladay and he hasn’t disappointed this year with a 6-1 record but Scott Richmond has been a pleasant surprise.
Last season, Richmond only started in five games all season, grabbing 1 win and 3 losses.
This season, Richmond has already pitched in five games and has paid off for those who backed him, racing out to a perfect 5-0 mark.
Toronto is coming off a 13-1 victory over the L.A. Angels last night, where they covered the moneyline odds of -153 and went Over the Total of 9.
The Jays play the rubber match of their current two-game set tonight sending Robert Ray to the mound against the Angels’ Jered Weaver. The sports betting public likes the Angels in this matchup, as online sportsbooks are reporting early betting action coming in at a clip of 65% on Weaver and the home team.
SPORTSBETTING.com currently has the Angels listed as a -162 favorite.
2) Who is the best “money” team in the major league baseball?
The Toronto Blue Jays are second only to the Los Angeles Dodgers when it comes to the MLB’s top money teams.
With an overall record of 21-8, the Dodgers have been profitable for the sports betting world who have followed them, but a closer look reveals lopsided results.
LA has made their money for their backers when playing at home. They are only .500 on the road at 8-8 but are undefeated at home at 13-0, their last victory coming in a 10-3 win over the Washington Nationals last night where the Dodgers covered the big moneyline number at -210 and the Total went Over 9.5.
Unlike the Jays, the L.A. Dodgers have played against divisional opponents a lot so far and dating back to April 11, they have gone 17-3 against divisional competition and are currently on a 6-0 run.
The Dodgers’ rotation features money pitchers such as righty Chad Billingsley who is a perfect 6-0 and southpaw Eric Stults who is 4-1.
After finishing a current two-game set against the aforementioned Washington Nationals tonight. Sportsbooks have LA listed at -160.
The Dodgers will begin another series against a divisional rival, this time hosting the San Francisco Giants.
In the last 20 games where the Dodgers have hosted the San Francisco Giants, L.A. has gone 11-9 and more recently, has gone 6-2 in its last eight games.
While we are only in the early goings of the MLB season, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays are the Top 2 money teams in all of the majors.
It remains to be seen if they can remain on top.
Enjoy your weekend.
