Wednesday MLB Daytime Betting Preview – Phillies at Reds

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The much-improved Reds may find themselves as a +150 or higher home underdog for the first time this season.

Philadelphia Phillies at Cincinnati Reds

Philadelphia picked up a 9-6 extra-innings victory in the middle game of this three-game series, while ending Cincinnati relief pitcher Arthur Rhodes record-tying scoreless innings streak for a reliever.  The Phillies guaranteed at least a .500 record in June (13-12, +90 ), as the team has gone 131-134 in the month over the last 10 seasons.  Philadelphia has enjoyed success against the NL Central Division in 2010, moving its record to 12-4, including sweeps of Houston and Milwaukee on the road.  Over their last 13 games (9-4), the Phillies have scored 87 runs and hit a combined .273.  Philadelphia finds itself as a road favorite of -150 to -175 for just the fourth time this season (-120), with the total being 3-1 O/U in those games.

Tuesday MLB Betting Feature – Rays at Red Sox

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The Red Sox picked up tonight’s starter in the offseason for big games like this in the American League East division.

Tampa Bay Rays at Boston Red Sox

Tampa Bay is floundering after starting the season with a fantastic 32-12 mark, going 12-19 over its last 31 games.  “We’ve had a rough patch…as bad as we’ve been playing and we’re only three games back, that’s got to say a lot about where we were,” pitcher Matt Garza said.  The Rays offense must get back on track, hitting .170 over their recent six-game homestand, including just .063 (7-for-50) with runners in scoring position.  Being away from Tropicana Field has been a winning combination for the young squad, posting an impressive 24-12 mark (+990) and averaging 5.6 runs.  This fits well with the road team winning all seven games between these clubs in 2010.  The Rays are surprisingly just 3-4 as a road underdog of +100 to +125 this season (-50).

ESPN2 Monday Night Baseball Betting Preview – Nationals at Braves

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The Braves veteran right-hander will be overshadowed by all the hype of the opposing pitcher, but I have a feeling the final spotlight will be placed on him.

Washington Nationals at Atlanta Braves

Sunday MLB Betting Preview – Tigers at Braves

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The Braves look to remain red-hot and complete the interleague sweep, but the road underdog has an ace up its sleeve.

Detroit Tigers at Atlanta Braves

Detroit was in control of Saturday’s contest against the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field, but one pitch in the seventh inning changed that in a hurry.  Relief pitcher Joel Zumaya gave up two walks in the inning before Braves 3B Chipper Jones sent a fastball into the right-center field bleachers to give the home team a 4-3 victory.  The Tigers are now 10-7 in interleague play (+280) and 1-4 on its current road trip that has sent them to New York (1-2) and Atlanta (0-2).  First baseman Miguel Cabrera was the lone bright spot in the defeat, hitting a solo home run in the ninth inning to tie Toronto’s Jose Bautista for the MLB-lead (20).  He came into the game hitting .356 with 11 home runs and 35 RBI on the road this season.

Saturday MLB Daytime Betting Feature – Twins at Mets

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

Mets 3B David Wright looks to continue terrorizing American League pitchers in Game 2 of this interleague series.

Minnesota Twins at New York Mets

Minnesota has now lost four straight games for the first time this season, but manager Ron Gardenhire is not one to panic, “These guys are feeling it a bit right now, they’re disappointed.  It’s a long season and we’ve got to keep grinding.”  The Twins are 2-5 on its current road trip and have gone 8-17 in their last 25 games away from Target Field.  The starting rotation has struggled on the road, posting a 17-20 record and 5.49 ERA compared to a 23-13 mark and 3.37 ERA at home.  The Twins face former teammate Johan Santana this afternoon, as they were 3-0 with him on the mound versus the Mets during his tenure in Minnesota.  The club is a disappointing 7-9 in interleague action (-260), but has still posted the third-best all-time mark at 139-105 against the NL.

Twins Vs Mets Baseball Betting Preview

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

Minnesota comes into this interleague series having lost five of its last seven games and getting swept by the Milwaukee Brewers.  It was just the second time the club had been swept in a series this season, with the only other time coming in a two-game series against Boston on May 19-20.  The Twins are now just 7-8 on the season during interleague play (-180) and are watching the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers gain ground on them in the divisional race.  “I didn’t like our energy today,” 1B Justin Morneau said.  Minnesota has a losing 9-12 record in the month of June (-380).

Friday MLB Daytime Betting Preview – Cubs at White Sox

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The South Siders are the hottest team in baseball and look to finish off a 15-game interleague stretch in style.

Chicago Cubs at Chicago White Sox

Manager Lou Piniella’s team picked up a 3-2 road victory in 13 innings over the Seattle Mariners, in one of those games that may jumpstart the season.  “I’m hoping we’re going to put together a run,” outfielder Marlon Byrd said after the game.  The Cubs are now 7-8 during interleague play this year (-110) and are set to play the 13th game of a 15-game stretch against the American League this afternoon.  The pitching staff has tallied a 3.69 ERA this month, fifth-best in the National League, but the offense has failed to deliver.  Chicago has scored three or fewer runs in 12 games and two or fewer in eight contests this month.

Thursday MLB Daytime Betting Preview – Padres at Rays

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

Tampa Bay looks to avoid being swept by the NL West-leading San Diego Padres.

San Diego Padres at Tampa Bay Rays – Day

San Diego hammered out three home runs in picking up a 5-4 road victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday night.  The victory moved the team’s record to 19-13 on the road (+1,060), giving them the top record in the National League away from home.  First baseman Adrian Gonzalez continued his red-hot month of June, as he ranks first in the National League in batting average in June (.428).  The rest of the league is starting to realize that the Padres are not a fluke this season, with the team recording a 75-54 record since August 1, 2009.  This series is the first for San Diego on artificial turf and it doesn’t seem to be bothering them with victories in the opening two games

ESPN Wednesday Night Baseball Betting Preview – Tigers at Mets

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

Two of the best interleague teams in all of baseball get set to square off in Game 2 of this series in front of a national audience.

Detroit Tigers at New York Mets

Detroit suffered a 14-6 blowout loss against the New York Mets in its first game of  nine-game road trip, after finishing a nine-game home stand with an 8-1 record.  “We made about as many bad pitches in one game as you could make,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.  The Tigers have dropped nine of their last 12 road games, as the pitching staff has produced a terrible 6.36 ERA over that span.   One member of the until that hasn’t been part of those troubles is closer Jose Valverde.  The Tigers will be in a solid position if he enters the game tonight, as he’s converted each of his last 16 save opportunities and tops all AL relievers with a 0.59 ERA.
