Wednesday MLB Daytime Betting Preview – Royals at Nationals

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The Nationals seek a three-game interleague sweep of the lowly Royals with their rookie phenom on the mound.

Kansas City Royals at Washington Nationals

Kansas City dropped its fifth game in a row on Tuesday night, falling 5-4 to the Washington Nationals in the nation’s capitol.  The current losing streak is the club’s longest under current manager Ned Yost.  The Royals are now 5-9 during interleague play this year, but are still 46-40 over the last five seasons against the National League.  OF Jose Guillen has been the lone bright spot during the team’s recent struggles, compiling a career-long 17-game hitting streak.  Being a big-sized road underdog of +225 to +250 is nothing new to the small town Royals, as the lines maker has placed them in this role for the fourth time already this season (2-1, +380).

Tuesday MLB Betting Preview – Dodgers at Angels

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The two teams that make up the Southern California Freeway Series are heading in opposite directions.

Los Angeles Dodgers at Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Dodgers left Boston without picking up a victory, after losing a 2-0 pitcher’s duel on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball.  “They did many things better,” said Dodgers catcher Russell Martin.  “They’re a tough team to beat.”  The club returns to the Southern California area after a day off to face a team that swept them the previous weekend.  Manager Joe Torre’s club is 2-7 (-660) during interleague play this year and 16-26 (-1,330) the last three seasons.  Outfielders Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp hope to lead the offense on Tuesday night against a right-handed starter.  Ethier is batting .331 this season against righties compared to .295 versus southpaws, while Kemp has hit 10 of his 11 home runs against them.

ESPN Monday Night Baseball Betting Preview – Yankees at Diamondbacks

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

Arizona heads back home after a 1-5 road trip and now faces the first-place Yankees on national television.

New York Yankees at Arizona Diamondbacks

The New York Yankees captured the latest installment of the Subway series, picking up 4-0 home victory over the Mets behind a sterling performance by ace C.C. Sabathia.  1B Mark Teixeira provided all the offense, hitting his first grand slam as a member of the Yankees.  “I didn’t get all of it,” Teixeira said.  “I made sure I ran out of the box.”  New York leads the Majors with seven grand slams, including two hit earlier on this homestand by catcher Jorge Posada.  The club is now 7-5 (-220) against the National League this season and head out on the road hoping to improve upon its 18-16 mark on the road (-330).  The Yankees are just an even 3-3 on the year as a road favorite of -150 to -175 (-190).

ESPN Sunday Night Baseball Betting Preview – Dodgers at Red Sox

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

All eyes will be on former Red Sox OF Manny Ramirez with the Dodgers looking to avoid a sweep in this interleague clash.

Los Angeles Dodgers at Boston Red Sox

Los Angeles is set to play its sixth game (2-3) of a nine-game road trip, as the team looks to avoid being swept by Boston.  “You know you’re in a fight when you play in this ballpark,” Dodgers manager Joe Torre said.  The club is five games into a stretch of playing 15 of 18 games on the road.  Tonight’s television coverage will certainly center around OF Manny Ramirez’s return to Beantown.  Since his arrival in Los Angeles on July 31, 2008, the Dodgers have a 163-121 record, the best mark in the NL over that span.  In two games this weekend at Fenway, Ramirez is 3-for-9 with a home run and RBI.  The team finds itself a game back of the division-leading San Diego Padres going into tonight’s game.

Sunday MLB Daytime Betting Feature – Mets at Yankees

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The Yankees captain hopes to return to the lineup, as a pair of aces close out the 2010 Subway Series.

New York Mets at New York Yankees

The New York Mets had its eight-game winning streak snapped on Saturday afternoon, dropping the second game in the series, 5-3.  The club is still a dominating 19-6 in its last 25 games since May 22, giving them the best record in the majors over that span.  The Mets still hold a 3-2 record against the Yankees this season, but will be up against a 3-9 all-time mark in series in the Bronx.  Starting rotation has carried the load especially on the road, posting a 9-2 record and 2.99 ERA in their last 11 games away from Citi Field.  The staff still has quite a disparity between its home/road numbers, with the team having a 4.66 road ERA compared to just 2.73 at home.

Saturday MLB Betting Preview – Orioles at Padres

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

San Diego looks to push its record to a game above .500 this month and hold onto first place in the NL West.

Baltimore Orioles at San Diego Padres

Baltimore held a 2-1 lead on Friday night heading into the bottom of the ninth, only to see the Padres rally for a 3-2 victory behind 1B Adrian Gonzalez’s bases loaded single.  The club has converted just 47.8 percent of its save opportunities, the lowest percentage in the major leagues.  The Orioles have now lost 18 of their last 21 games, being outscored 127-50 over that span.  Friday’s loss also dropped the club to 2-8 in interleague play this year.  In facing a left-handed starter tonight, Baltimore’s offense will be paced by OF Nick Markakis, who leads all left-handed batters in baseball with a .375 batting average against them.  The club has been outscored 65-28 in their last 12 road games, as they are 8-37 in their last 45 games away from Camden Yards.

Saturday MLB on FOX Betting Preview – Dodgers at Red Sox

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

A pair of veteran right-handers are on display in the second game of this interleague series between two historic franchises.

Los Angeles Dodgers at Boston Red Sox

Los Angeles fell 10-6 in the series opener against Boston at Fenway Park and has dropped five straight in interleague play.  This series marks just the second time the two teams have met at here, with the first coming on June 11-13, 2004, when Boston took two out of three.  The Dodgers are four games into a stretch where 15 of 18 games will be played on the road (2-2).  Of course this series is highlighted by OF Manny Ramirez returning to Boston after spending 7 1/2 seasons in front of the Green Monster.  “Manny is certainly going to have a lot of emotions here,” Dodgers manager Joe Torre said.  “This was a huge part of his career.”  Since Ramirez’ arrival in Los Angeles, the club has posted a 163-120 record, the best mark in the National League.

Thursday MLB Betting Preview – Rays at Braves

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The Braves offense has been piling up hits at a rapid pace and faces a struggling pitcher in tonight’s contest.

Tampa Bay Rays at Atlanta Braves

Tampa Bay had spent 52 consecutive days in first place in the AL East, but the Rays have shared the top spot with the Yankees the past three days.  The team has held the majors best record for a total of 59 games this season, 19 more than their first 12 years combined.  The offense has been scuffling since May 21, scoring two runs or fewer in a game nine times.  Manager Joe Maddon summed it up after his club dropped Game Two of the series, “The good thing is we won on Tuesday night and lost today, let’s try and win the series on Thursday.”  Tampa is still a dominating 23-9 on the road this season and has outscored opponents 188-110 away from Tropicana Field.

Thursday MLB Daytime Betting Preview – Rockies at Twins

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

Two of the league’s best fireballers take to the mound at Target Field in the series finale.

Colorado Rockies at Minnesota Twins

Colorado has dropped two straight games and eight of 13 to fall five games behind in the NL West, while also falling to an even 23-23 against right-handed pitchers.  “If I had an answer, I’d be much more definitive, but I don’t,” manager Jim Tracy said.  “But I can tell you there is an element of frustration because we’re a club that is still playing baseball a game over .500.”  Despite last night’s 2-1 defeat, the Rockies have the best winning percentage in interleague play among National League teams since 2006.  Colorado fanned 12 times against Minnesota SP Scott Baker, as they rank fifth in the NL in strikeouts.  A bigger problem is a .215 team batting average with 59 strikeouts with two out and runners in scoring position.
