The Hottest Teams in All of Baseball
by BetUS Staff
(59-59) (8-2 L/10 +$767.00) The Astros find themselves at the top of the heap after churning out victories in eight of their last 10 overall to reel in close to $800 for MLB bettors.
Houston’s been one of the better clubs since the All Star break compiling an impressive 15-8 SU mark, but still finds itself 12-games in back of the Chicago Cubs for the top spot in the NL Central.
If not for a very poor first half of the season, they could be competing with the Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati.
The Astros are now one of just six teams that the MLB wagering public has made money on betting on both home (30-26 +$270) and away (29-33 +$455). Owners of a five game winning streak, Houston get to play 12 of its next 19 at home in August and could manage to get within shouting distance within the division if it continues to play at this level.
Washington Nationals at home and take four of six from Cincinnati and Atlanta on the road. They now sit just 3.5-games in back of the NL Central division leaders.
Since Manny Parra and Prince Fielder got into that dugout tussle, the Brew Crew has won six in a row.
However, that streak will be put to the test when they invade the west coast to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers this week. Milwaukee’s been kind to its betting backers as a visitor in ’08 compiling a 32-28 overall mark to reel in close to $600 of profit on the year.
They’ll have to go to war without All Star rightfielder Ryan Braun whose been suffering from tightness in his lower back forcing him to miss the last three games. The Brewers will really earn their paychecks this month if they’re able to continue playing at this level with 11 of their next 17 games scheduled on the road.
NY Yankees.
They squared off against a trio of losing franchises this past week (MLB betting backers to haul in a $575.00 return on their investments.
They’ll look to improve upon their mediocre 26-29 road record this week against the Texas Rangers who’ve fallen on some tough times of their own.
Unfortunately, they’ll have to go to war without a pair of key components to their roster as rookie phenom 3B Evan Longoria and OF Carl Crawford are sidelined with hand injuries. Hopefully those injuries aren’t the catalyst to the Rays demise as Tampa’s been one of the greatest stories to come out of professional sports in quite some time.
