Division Races Heading Toward Finish Line

New York Mets at Philadelphia Phillies Betting Analysis

Any hope the Mets have – and it is slender – on catching the Phillies in the NL East has to start this week at Citizens Bank Field. The second game of the series – on Tuesday – will test the mettle of Mets phenom Nolan McLean.

He is 4-0 with a 1.37 ERA since being brought up to the big leagues. He is scheduled to pitch against Ranger Suarez (11-6, 2.89 ERA). Does McLean’s magical start get derailed? MLB odds could be tempting to play the road team. However, look for the Phillies fans to rattle McLean.

The game should be a pitcher’s duel, but it won’t be. Go with the over on the Mets vs Phillies totals odds because those fans are ruthless.

Detroit Tigers at New York Yankees Betting Analysis

The AL Central-leading Tigers hit Yankee Stadium for a series that means more to the Bronx Bombers. Detroit is comfortably ahead in its division, while the Yankees are trying to climb back over the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East.

If you are going to bet on the MLB, don’t hesitate to play the road team. The Tigers have played decently on the road, and they can handle business. The Yankees still have challenges and look for a low-scoring game on Tuesday – that means play the Tigers’ run line odds through the series.

Tampa Bay Rays at Chicago Cubs Betting Analysis

The Cubs can barely see the Brewers ahead of them in the NL Central. The Rays are no pushovers as they remain floating around .500 in the AL East. Tampa Bay is not playing out the string.

The Rays come to Wrigley for a weekend series, and do not be stunned if they hassle the Cubbies. The Rays vs Cubs run line odds in each game should be favorable to Tampa Bay. Don’t hesitate to use the MLB lines at BetUS to try and score as the Rays can score runs.

Colorado Rockies-Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Analysis

Will the Dodgers and their fans get over the shock of what happened on Saturday? What were the MLB odds against the Orioles winning after being no-hit for 8⅔ innings by Yoshinobu Yamamoto and being down 3-0? Put it this way, no team had won a game after being no-hit for 8⅔ while trailing in the expansion era (after 1961) before, but the Orioles did.

The Dodgers come home to face the Rockies in a series. The defending world champions are reeling. Colorado is awful. If LA can’t get well against the cellar-dwellers, it could be a short postseason. Bet on the MLB carefully because the Rockies will be long MLB odds against in each game of the series.

Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres Betting Analysis

The Padres – and Dodgers – have fallen apart in recent MLB play. San Diego gets a Reds team earlier in the week that is trying to stay in the NL Wild-Card race.

Then the Rockies come to SD. After a week that saw the Padres collapse against some of the worst teams in MLB, one has to wonder if they have much left. That said, in MLB odds, they will be favored over the Rockies, and if they want to win the NL West, they have to win the series, if not sweep it. Go with the Padres moneyline odds, no matter how steep they are.

The typical ways to bet on MLB games are like most team sports. There is against the spread, where a team has to win by more runs than it is favored by or lose by less than it is the underdog.

There is the moneyline where you are betting on your team to win the game. Sounds simple, right? It isn’t because odds teeter and there is no guarantee an upset won’t happen. Then there is the total where you are betting whether a game will go over or under a certain number of runs. There are many MLB games every night – and sometimes during the day – so one can do their work and find the perfect spot to make a wager on the game of their choice.

MLB Moneyline Betting: Pick the outright winner, no spreads involved. Example: If the Yankees (-140) face the Red Sox (+120), betting $140 on the Yankees wins $100 if they win, while a $100 bet on the Red Sox returns $120 if they win.

MLB Spreads (Run Lines): MLB spreads are called Run Lines, typically set at ±1.5 runs. Example: If the Dodgers -1.5 beat the Mets by 2+ runs, the bet wins. If the Mets +1.5 lose by 1 run or win outright, the bet wins.

MLB Totals (Over/Under Bets): Bet on the combined total runs of a game. Example: If the total for Cubs vs. Phillies is 8.5, an Over bet wins if 9+ runs are scored, while an Under bet wins if 8 or fewer runs are scored.

MLB Player & Game Prop Bets: Bet on specific players or game events beyond just the final score. Examples:

• Player Prop: If Aaron Judge’s total home runs line is set at 1.5, an Over bet wins if he hits 2 or more home runs, while an Under bet wins if he hits 1 or none.
• Game Prop: If a bet is on “Will the Yankees score first?”, the wager wins if the Yankees score before their opponent.

First 5 Innings Lines (F5 Bets): Bet on the outcome of the game’s first five innings, focusing on starting pitchers and early scoring. Examples:

• F5 Moneyline: If the Braves F5 Moneyline is -150 against the Cubs, the bet wins if the Braves are leading after five innings. If the score is tied or the Cubs are ahead, the bet loses.
• F5 Run Line:  If the Yankees -0.5 (F5) are playing the Red Sox, the Yankees must be leading after five innings for the bet to win. If tied or lost, the bet loses.
• F5 Over/Under:  If the F5 total for Dodgers vs. Phillies is 4.5, an Over bet wins if 5+ runs are scored in the first five innings, while an Under bet wins if 4 or fewer runs are scored.
