Phillies’ Howard Having Blast In Hometown State, Cards Look To Snap Skid
The St. Louis Cardinals (17-9 SU, 15-11 RL, 13-11-2 O/U) will be looking to snap their modest two-game losing streak for BetUS MLB sports betting backers when they host the Philadelphia Phillies (13-10 SU, 9-14 RL, 13-8-2 O/U) at Busch Stadium tonight at 8 PM ET.
The number three has a hold on all of us. Baseball’s inherent beauty is all about threes: three strikes to an out, three outs to an inning, three groups of three innings to a game. That’s why we’re sticking with the format as we present the three best series and the three best single games to bet on this week.
Sunday May 3, 8:05 PM ET
Chicago White Sox (12-11) Tied for 2nd place in AL Central
Texas Rangers (11-12) 2nd place in AL West
The series is split at 1 game apiece. The rubber game matches up John Danks for Chicago and Matt Harrison for Texas.
One of the most intriguing stories of last year’s Major League Baseball season was the Tampa Bay Rays.
The perennial doormat of the AL East, the Rays had a season for the ages, beating out perennial division power Boston Red Sox, for last year’s division title-Tampa Bay finished the regular season with a record of 97-65 while Boston finished second with a 95-67.
Baseball betting fans will get another chance to see the Washington Nationals get pummeled as the St. Louis Cardinals come to town. This will set up a matchup of the best in the National League versus the worst as the Cardinals have been a nice surprise. If you guessed that the MLB odds don’t favor Washington in this series, you would be correct.
The 2009 MLB season has been underway for a couple weeks now, and Scott Orgera weighs in with his weekly MLB Power Rankings article for the MLB baseball season.
Movers and Shakers: Cincinnati Reds (+15) – Baltimore Orioles (-15)
Baseball’s third weekend of the 2009 season offers up the first meeting between the sports biggest rivals, the Yankees and Red Sox.
Nothing says “intense baseball” more than when these two teams get together. Most often it doesn’t even matter what the clubs’ records are, the disdain with which they view one another trumps all.
In this case, both teams come in playing well, so it should be an exciting three-game set.
Finally, the best rivalry in baseball betting, if not all of sports betting, is back. The Yankees vs Red Sox odds return Friday night as the demons of the AL East go head to head for a three-game set at Fenway park. Let’s make some hot sportsbook picks for the entire series.
Yankees and Red Sox. Red Sox and Yankees. If you’re one of the many baseball fans out there who could do quite nicely without having these two teams marketed down your throats year after year, now could be your chance for some payback. Literally.
Baseball begins and ends with pitching. Because of the number of games and the length of the season, the sport lures as many investors as the others. The structure of odds… no point spread… and the nature of the game however, with the disproportionate emphasis on pitching, baseball must be treated in a different way.

Movers and Shakers: Toronto Blue Jays (+21) – Cleveland Indians (-17)

MLB Baseball Betting Matchup:
New York Mets (2-1) at Florida Marlins (3-0)
Dolphin Stadium, Miami Gardens, FL (natural turf) — 6:10 PM ET
(Records good through Thursday’s games)
Right-handers go at it, as New York’s Livan Hernandez, the former Marlin favorite, goes up against Ricky Nolasco, who had a breakout season for Florida in 2008.
The MLB Picks baseball season rolls into it’s second full week of action and as is typically the case has started with a few surprises. In the American League East both of the front runners (Red Sox and Yankees) sit towards the bottom of the MLB Picks division with Baltimore and Toronto at the top.
The Los Angeles Dodgers were stuck in neutral until they acquired a player who might just be the best right-handed hitter in Major League Baseball history. They were a small-ball team until they acquired Manny Ramirez at the trade deadline last season but now that he’s here for the long haul, MLB betting fans know that the Dodgers will be as well.
Earlier this week in MLB betting, we discussed the rise and fall of the Colorado Rockies between 2007 and 2008, and how they were an extremely tough team to forecast this season. Well, their division rivals, the Arizona Diamondbacks, are in a similar boat for the 2009 MLB odds. We know they have talent – particularly in the pitching department – but can the young bats catch up to the arms and lead the D’Backs to the playoffs?
The NL Central was the toughest division in the MLB last year. I am not looking for a repeat in 09. Several big time players left the division during the off-season. Milwaukee will feel the biggest losses after a 2nd place finish. How far will they fall? Keep reading to find out.
