Baseball Betting Insider – Thursday’s MLB Best Bets and Hot and Not Teams

MLB betting buffs that are looking for some in-depth wagering information to help with their Thursday selections have come to the right place!

I’ve got the league on ‘lock’ this morning for my beloved BetUS MLB baseball betting brethren as I get set to dish out more useful information than Steve Nash does assists.

With that said, at least two games on today’s full slate look like value-packed matchups that avid MLB gamblers may want to think long and hard about riding to a potentially winning payday in the BetUS Baseball Sportsbook tonight.

MLB betting enthusiasts will also get the scoop on which teams are rolling right along and which ones to either wager against or simply avoid like the Bubonic Plague.

With that said – and a full slate of MLB action taking place tonight, let me get started.

Pittsburgh at Colorado (-140, 8.5-Run O/U Total)

The Rockies have dropped eight straight games – including two straight to the Pirates this week – while losing each of Ubaldo Jimenez’s last two starts. Nevertheless, I like the Rockies to snap out of their funk in a big way as Jimenez gives the reeling ballclub a much-needed pick-me-up.

The Rockies have gone a blistering 31-18 at home this season while the Pirates have managed to go just 13-38 on the road this season.

Florida Marlins at San Francisco Giants (-150, 8-Run O/U Total)
Giants’ young southpaw hurler, Madison Bumgarner has won four consecutive starts (all on the road) while goin4-1 over his last five starts while compiling a stellar 1.87 ERA over the span

The Florida Marlins, on the other hand, have gone a disappointing 1-4 in Anibel Sanchez's last five starts and he hasn't been able to pick up a win since way back on June 22. The right-hander has allowed 12 runs over his last 16 innings of work.

Who's hot

The San Francisco Giants have won eight of its last ten.
The Texas Rangers have won seven of their last nine.
The Philadelphia Phillies have won six in a row.
The L.A. Dodgers have won five of their last seven.
The Tampa Bay Rays have won five straight.

Who's not

The Colorado Rockies have lost eight in a row.
The Baltimore Orioles have lost five straight and seven of its last eight.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have lost six in a row.
The Kansas City Royals have lost six of its last seven.
