Francisco Rodriguez, K-Rod to online betting fans because of his ability to strike-out opposing batters, today signed a 3 year 37 million dollar deal with the New York Mets.
The signing, almost a year after the Mets signed top pitcher Johann Santana, was the lead story on some of the major sports broadcasting networks throughout the night.

Don’t be surprised if the Philadelphia Phillies somehow manage to beat the Tampa Bay Rays, by bashing their fantastic young pitchers senseless en route to winning the second World Series title in franchise history.
Now, after guiding BetUS MLB wagering fanatics to a respectable 3-2 wagering mark in the BetUS Sportsbook on the first five games of this World Series matchup, including calling Sunday’s 10-2 overwhelming rout ‘dead-on’ in the BetUS Locker Room, finishing off the 2008 MLB season with one more winning wager is going to be an almost literal, ‘piece of cake.’
Series: 2-1 Phillies
This Game 4 matchup is a contest that the Philadelphia Phillies would love to win if they are to have any chance at beating the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2008 MLB World Series!
The fact of the matter is that the Phillies clearly don’t have the starting pitching to match up with a Rays team that genuinely looks like they could – not only go from worst to first – but could maintain their newfound level of excellence for years to come!
The Tampa Bay Rays started their turnaround 2008 campaign with a trade – they sent outfielder Delmon Young and infielder Brendan Harris to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for shortstop Jason Bartlett and starting pitcher Matt Garza. Bartlett has had a solid season, but it’s Garza who has paid off the most for all those doing MLB betting.
The Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays may play to low television ratings but that doesn’t mean we won’t see stellar and exciting baseball.
The Sportsbook.com odds for the opening game are Even. The Series odds are Philadelphia +125, Tampa Bay -145.
The Philadelphia Phillies (99-72 SU, 76-89-6 O/U, 81-90 RL) and Tampa Bay Rays (104-69 SU, 80-90-2 O/U, 92-80 RL) will take square off at Tropicana Field tonight at 8PM Eastern for Game 1 of the 2008 MLB World Series in the BetUS Sportsbook and tonight’s pitching matchup figures to be a thriller with Phillies left-handed staff ace Cole Hamels (17-10, 2.92 ERA), going up against talented Rays lefty, Scott Kazmir (13-8, 3.54 ERA).
After correctly predicting the outcomes of both LCS matchups in the BetUS Locker Room days before the respective winning teams took the field, I am back to give MLB wagering enthusiasts the low-down – and eventual winner – for what looks to be an absolutely thrilling World Series matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies (99-72 SU, 76-89-6 O/U, 81-90 RL) and Tampa Bay Rays (104-69 SU, 80-90-2 O/U, 92-80 RL).
Without a doubt, magic is in the air in the American League Championship Series. The Tampa Bay Rays may be the ultimate Cinderella story, but Lady Luck was on the side of the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night, as it staved off elimination by scoring eight unanswered runs in the final three frames of their baseball betting match-up to win 8-7.
Baseball is the gift that keeps on giving. No other sport provides as many opportunities for winning as America’s national pastime; imagine a 162-game NFL regular season, only with softer betting lines.
The playoffs are even sweeter for sharp handicappers. Just by following the simple “take the underdog” method, they’ve earned 4.17 units on a record of 12-12. You won’t find a system that’s any easier to manage than that. At this time of year, all the teams are very good, and it’s easy to get overly dramatic about their differences in talent level. The betting market floods with fans betting blindly on their heroes. Their money is yours for the taking.
Oddsmakers like the Boston Red Sox chances at extending the ALCS and heading back to Tampa Bay for a Game 6 on Saturday.
Behind starting pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka, the Red Sox are a -150 favorite to win Thursday’s Game 5; the Tampa Bay Rays are a +140 with Scott Kazmir on the mound.
Cole Hamels has been lights out in two postseason starts and oddsmakers like his chance of sending the Philadelphia Phillies to the World Series.
Hamels and the Phillies are listed at -121 odds for Game 5 of the NLCS against the L.A. Dodgers on Wednesday night. Philadelphia leads the series 3-1 and can advance to the World Series with a win.

I’m not impressed! Not with the Philadelphia Phillies (96-71 SU, 78-89 RL, 73-88-6 O/U) Game 1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers (87-79 SU, 84-82 RL, 75-85-6 O/U).
I’m actually not that impressed with my Game 1 selection that I predicted on Thursday as a blind man could have called Philadelphia’s Game 1 win with crafty lefty Cole Hamels on the mound.
If familiarity breeds contempt, the ALCS between rivals Boston and Tampa Bay will be a great one beginning tonight.
The pitching matchup for Game 1 is Boston’s Daisuke Matsuzaka versus Tampa Bay’s James Shields. First pitch is set for 8:37 pm ET and Tampa is a slight -110 favorite.
