MLB Predictions: Braves Season Wins Over/Under Odds

2009 Atlanta Braves Wins Predictions – Lines & Baseball Props

Atlanta Braves (2008 Record: 72-90, 4th place in NL East, 20 GB)

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.

MLB Predictions: Rays Season Wins Over/Under Odds

2009 Tampa Bay Rays Wins Predictions – Lines & Baseball Props

Tampa Bay Rays (2008 Record: 97-65, 1st place in AL East, AL Champions)

The Rays as a team were definitely one of the feel good stories of the year in 2008, riding a healthy mixture of youth and optimism all the way to the AL Pennant. Perennial bottom dwellers since their inception 10 years earlier, the ’08 Rays came out of the gate strong and never really looked back.

MLB Predictions: Mariners Season Wins Over/Under Odds

2009 Seattle Mariners Wins Predictions – Lines & Baseball Props

Seattle Mariners 2008 Record: 61-101, 39 GB in AL West

By far the most disappointing team in baseball last year, the Mariners and new manager Don Wakamatsu look to return some semblance of respectability to the Pacific Northwest. On paper this was a club filled with promise as it broke camp last March, carrying a pitching staff that had the potential to keep the M’s in the playoff chase all season.

MLB Predictions: Cubs Season Wins Over/Under Odds

2009 Chicago Cubs Wins Predictions – Lines & Baseball Props

Chicago Cubs 2008 Record: 97-64, NL Central Winner

After early post-season exits the past two seasons, the North Siders are in prime position to make a run at their third straight NL Central title. Heartbreak has been a common theme for this franchise since what seems like the dawn of time, but they will once again sport a roster that all but guarantees that they’ll at least be in the mix for a playoff spot in ’09.

Red Sox 2009 MLB Prediction

Boston Red Sox 2009 Season Wins Prediction

Boston Red Sox (2008 Record: 95-67, 2 GB in AL East – AL Wild Card Winner)

After coming within 3 measly runs of another AL Pennant in 2008, the BoSox are back with what could be a much stronger team.

While the boys from the Bronx grabbed the East Coast headlines this Winter by spending enough money to purchase a small country, GM Theo Epstein and crew took a somewhat different approach to retooling. By taking fliers on injury risks with tremendous upside and proven track records like John Smoltz, Brad Penny, and Rocco Baldelli, they may wind up getting the most bang for their buck out of all the 30 MLB teams.

Even if the aforementioned players do not pan out, the Sox still boast a very strong roster. The outfield is made up of a formidable group featuring Jason “don’t call me Manny” Bay, Jacoby Elisbury, and JD Drew in right with Baldelli able to fill in at all 3 positions. Being with the team from the start of the season should boost Bay’s numbers, who still put up a respectable showing after having to fill some really big shoes down the stretch in ’08. The right side of the infield is solid with on-base machines Kevin Youkilis and reigning MVP Dustin Pedroia. The left side, on the other hand, is a bit of a question mark with third baseman Mike Lowell recovering from hip surgery and the shortstop position up for grabs in a battle between veteran Julio Lugo and 25-year old Jed Lowrie.

After a lot of uncertainty over contract details, the Sox were finally able to bring back the man with the C on his jersey to man the backstop. Reduced to a mediocre hitter at this point in his career, Jason Varitek is still crucial to the success of a pitching staff which is relying on some young but effective arms like phenom Jon Lester and even some key bullpen pieces such as Boston native Manny Delcarmen.

The starting rotation is as deep as they come, led by post-season hero Josh Beckett, Lester, and Dice-K, and rounded out by knuckleballer Tim Wakefield and newcomer Penny. Smoltz is expected back in May, which should push either Wakefield or Penny to an already solid pen. If injuries should hit, already experienced youngsters Clay Buckhholz and Justin Masterson are waiting in the wings as well as top prospect Michael Bowden. The fiery Johathan Papelbon may be the best 9th inning man in the league next to Mariano Rivera and he now has ex-Dodger Takashi Saito, a closer in his own right, to set him up.  If David Ortiz can bounce back to anything close to his 2007 form, Terry Francona’s squad should once again be playing meaningful October baseball. Look for Boston to finish with around 97 wins this season.

Orioles 2009 MLB Prediction

Baltimore Orioles 2009 Season Wins Prediction

Baltimore Orioles 2008 Record: 68-93, 28.5 GB in AL East

The O’s finally appear to be headed in the right direction after years of misguided acquisitions and poor draft choices. They are still a few years away from challenging in what should once again be baseball’s toughest division.

Okay MLB Sportsbook bettors, I’ll admit that the Chicago Cubs (97-65 SU, 82-74-6 O/U, 83-79 RL) dropped the ball in a big way on Wednesday, losing Game 1 of their NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers (85-78 SU, 74-83-5 O/U, 81-81 RL) 7-2 while simultaneously ruining what would have been a perfect 5-0 MLB wagering day for me.

NFL Weekly Handicapping Notes

NFL Notes,
By Big Al McMordie

Everyone talks about the great parts of football teams. The Broncos’ new-look passing attack, QBs Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and Donovan McNabb, or coaches like Andy Reid, Mike Shanahan and Tom Coughlin. But sports bettors can also find winning ATS opportunities by going AGAINST certain things. The Arizona Cardinals, for instance, have been a lousy team on the road the last few years. With that in mind, here is a look at some truly bad things about the NFL as we just finished up Week 3.

D-Backs vs. Padres Free MLB Monday Pick

D-Backs vs. Padres Free MLB Monday Pick

1 Unit FREE PLAY on D-backs/Padres UNDER 6.5 (listing Haren and Peavy)

I like the UNDER in this NL West pitcher’s duel scheduled for Monday night. Peavy’s ERA is a brilliant 2.84 and the Padres never bring run support behind him. The Under is 7-1-1 in Peavy’s last 9 starts overall, 5-0 in Peavy’s last 5 home starts vs. a team with a winning record, and 7-2 in the Padres last 9 home games. The 14-6 Haren has been a great addition to the D-backs and his 3.12 ERA is among the best in the league as well. Oddsmakers are begging for us to take the over with this line, but we won’t take the bait.

Cleveland Indians vs. Texas Rangers Free MLB Pick – Friday

Friday Indians vs. Rangers Free MLB Pick

MLB | Aug 22
John Martin
Cleveland Indians vs. Texas Rangers

Martin’s Friday Free Play: 1 Unit on Texas Rangers -118 (Listing Harrison)

Matt Harrison has been a great addition to the Rangers staff with a 5-2 mark as a starter this season. Harrison is only getting better the more innings he throws, going 3-0 with a 3.72 ERA through his last three starts. Harrison and the Rangers are a solid bet as my free play at home today against Fausto Carmona and the Cleveland Indians. Carmona is 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA through his last three starts. Carmona has already faced the Rangers once this season, yielding 6 earned runs before getting relieved of his duties after 2 innings of work. Cleveland is 11-28 as a road underdog of +100 or higher this season. Texas is 61-30 in home games vs. an AL team with a batting average of .260 or worse in the second half of the season since 1997. Harrison over Carmona tonight.

Cash in with Texas as the favorite.
