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.

Wednesday MLB Daytime Betting Feature – Orioles at Giants

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The Giants two-time Cy Young winner takes to the mound, looking to gain more confidence against the worst team in baseball.

Baltimore Orioles at San Francisco Giants

Baltimore grabbed a 4-1 victory in the second game of this three-game series last night, winning for just the third time in their last 19 games.  The Orioles have been outscored 118-45 over that span.  Tuesday’s victory also snapped the team’s nine-game road losing streak, as opponents held a 55-19 advantage in those games.  OF Adam Jones launched a solo home run in leading the Orioles offense, but the team has still hit just 51 home runs on the year, good for 10th in the American League and 51 behind league-leading Toronto.  Baltimore is still the only team in baseball without a home run from its first baseman.  Scoring runs is still difficult for the group, managing to score just 39 runs in their last 17 games and 45 runs in their last 19 games.

Monday MLB Betting Preview – Brewers at Angels

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The Angels return home after a successful 11-3 road trip and continue interleague play against the visiting Brewers.

Milwaukee Brewers at Los Angeles Angels

Milwaukee continues its 15-game interleague schedule tonight with the first of three games at Los Angeles.  The Brewers are 86-104 all-time during interleague play, including 2-4 this season (-180) and 5-10 last season.  Tonight’s contest is the Brewers’ first game against the Angels since the team took two of three games in Anaheim in 2004.  The club managed to post an even 3-3 record on its recent homestand despite managing just a .125 (6-for-48) batting average with runners in scoring position.  One player that has carried the offense is outfielder Corey Hart, hitting 14 home runs in his last 28 games, tops in the majors over that span.  The Brewers bullpen has been much better of late, posting a 2.96 ERA over its last eight games.

Sunday MLB Daytime Betting Feature – Mets at Orioles

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The Mets are on the verge of doing something for possibly the first time in franchise history.

New York Mets at Baltimore Orioles

New York’s pitching staff dominated Baltimore hitters for a second consecutive night, picking up a 3-1 victory on Saturday night and capturing its first road series win of the season.  The Mets lead the majors with a 2.31 ERA in June, leading the team to an 8-2 record during the month (+540).  The offense is hoping to get a contribution from OF Jason Bay in the series finale, as he’s suffering from a 0-for-16 slump.  It’s hard to imagine that he breaks out this afternoon due to his .152 average (5-for-33) in his last nine games at Camden Yards.  The Mets are 4-1 in interleague play this year (+380) and 109-107 overall against the American League since 1997.

Friday MLB Evening Betting Feature – Phillies at Red Sox

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

Two teams going in opposite directions meet at historic Fenway Park for a three-game interleague set.

Philadelphia Phillies at Boston Red Sox

Philadelphia was shutout for the seventh time this season and now head to face one of the hottest teams in baseball.  The Phillies are on pace for 20 shutouts, which would be the most since being blanked 22 times in 1969.  Even with its offensive troubles of the past few weeks, Philadelphia is the only team in baseball to have four different players with 10 home runs this season.  The club is currently 3-5 this month (-380), after going 11-15 during the 2009 season in June.  Don’t expect things to drastically turn around for the Phillies during interleague play, as they’ve gone 17-30 the past three years (-1,690)
