Saturday MLB Betting Preview – Blue Jays at Yankees

Posted on July 3, 2010 by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The Yankees veteran starter is seemingly pitching for a spot on the All-Star roster and leading his team to victory.

Toronto Blue Jays at New York Yankees

Toronto picked up a 6-1 extra-innings victory over the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Blue Jays streak of games without a home run was pushed to five games, as the team leads the majors with 115 home runs. The six-run outburst was a relief to fans based on the team scoring just 1.8 runs per game during its five-game losing streak. Toronto’s pitching staff has been doing a tremendous job against the league’s second-best offense this year, posting a 1.55 ERA in four games against the Bronx Bombers. A victory in game two of this series will be hard to come by, with the team producing a 7-13 record against left-handed starters (-560). These struggles are nothing new due to the club’s 49-64 mark against southpaws the last three years (-2,020).

Friday MLB Betting Preview – Giants at Rockies

Posted on July 2, 2010July 2, 2010 by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The Giants are falling fast in the NL West standings and are hoping their ace can stop the slide.

San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies

San Francisco is praying that its two-time Cy Young Award winner can jumpstart the club, as the team has lost a season-high six games. The bullpen also needs an extended start by the rotation, as the unit has pitched 40.1 of the club’s last 96 innings. “We can use an extra arm right now,” manager Bruce Bochy said. The Giants have had all kinds of trouble against division opponents, producing a 8-18 versus the NL West (-1,400). Tonight will be San Francisco’s second game of an 11-game, three-city trip, as the team has posted a 15-21 mark away from AT&T Park (-720). The lineup has scored three runs-or-fewer in 36 of its 78 games this year, but there are still seven other teams in that National League that have had more games in the category.

Friday MLB Betting Preview – Marlins at Braves

Posted on July 2, 2010July 2, 2010 by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The first place Braves enjoyed a well-deserved off day and now welcome the world traveling Marlins.

Florida Marlins at Atlanta Braves

Florida dropped a 6-5 decision to the New York Mets in a series finale that was played in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The club is still adjusting to the guidance of new skipper Edwin Rodriguez, after the club dismissed Fredi Gonzalez in late June. After taking two of three against the Mets in a series where they were designated the home team, the Marlins head off on a 10-game road trip. Florida has won five of its last seven games away from Sun Life Stadium and should remain confident in playing at Turner Field. The squad posted a 6-3 mark on the Braves home field last season. Over the last three years, the Fish have posted a 98-75 mark against NL East opponents (+3,010).

The Reds continue to show why their the best team in baseball in tight games with 15 final-at-bat wins. Thursday’s game marked the beginning of the team’s longest road trip of the season, which will last until the All-Star break.

Baseballs Hottest and Coldest Teams In July

Posted on July 1, 2010 by T.O. Whentam in Headlines

Some baseball teams love the hot, sticky days of July – it’s when they are at their best. Others play like they would rather be off at the beach or on the golf course or anywhere other than at the ballpark. There are of course many factors that go into how a team plays at a certain time, and you can get in trouble with broad assumptions. There are some teams, though, that consistently exhibit the same behavior in July. that doesn’t mean that you should be those teams blindly this year, but it does mean that you could keep an eye on them, and if they look like they are going to repeat their past performances then you could climb on board for the ride. Here’s a look at six teams that have shown particular love or hate for July in recent years. I’ll ignore teams like the Royals, Nationals and Orioles – they have been lousy in July, but they’ve been lousy every other month as well:

Thursday MLB Betting Preview – Astros at Padres

Posted on July 1, 2010June 30, 2010 by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The NL West-leading Padres are in for a dog fight on Thursday night.

Houston Astros at San Diego Padres

Houston left Milwaukee with a 5-1 victory on Wednesday afternoon, securing the team’s first month this season in which it didn’t finish at least six games under .500. The Astros also moved its winning streak to nine straight on Wednesday’s this season. “It seems like we’re playing better baseball,” reliever Brandon Lyon said after the game. Houston crossed over the magic four-run barrier against the Brewers, moving its record to 27-11 when scoring four or more runs, which might be tough to do against the league’s best pitching staff coming up. The Astros are 21-39 against right-handed starters (-940), with the team facing southpaws just 18 times (9-9).

Thursday MLB Betting Preview – Rangers at Angels

Posted on June 30, 2010June 30, 2010 by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

Angels starter Jered Weaver has managed just two victories at home while ranking second in the majors in strikeouts.

Texas Rangers at Los Angeles Angels

Texas has the second-best record in the majors and handicappers better start paying attention. The Rangers enjoyed an outstanding June, posting the most wins and best record in the majors. Part of this success must be attributed to the play of outfielder Josh Hamilton. He came into Wednesday night’s contest hitting safely in a career-best 22 straight games and hitting .462 with nine home runs and 29 RBI over that span. Those numbers have led to Hamilton batting an MLB-best .457 in June. The Rangers have held their own against the Angels, posting wins in 13 of their last 22 games before the series started. The Rangers are 13-6 against the AL West (+710), but have played just seven games on the road (4-3).

The Mariners finished June with a 14-13 record, their first winning month of the season. Seattle has now won three straight games in New York for the first time since compiling a six-game winning streak from 2001-03.
