Both games exceeded the run total.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: One of the league's punching bags, the Houston Astros will be playing host to their new AL West rivals, the Oakland Athletics, Saturday night on FOX. Even though the Astros enter this series with the worst record in the American League at 14-33, there are still some bright spots to talk about. The team has gone 4-6 in its last 10 games played here at Minute Maid Park, and it has earned bettors a profit of 1.16 units in those outings.  Continue...

He has allowed just 10 hits and three walks over 14.1 scoreless innings of work, which translated into 10-0 and 5-1 wins for the Reds as chalk.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: The New York Yankees are the kings of the American League East right now, and the Tampa Bay Rays are set to try to knock them off their throne on national television on Sunday. The two division foes meet on TBS on Sunday afternoon for what would be a sun drenched battle were it not for the domed roof above Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. The lines on this one will be available at BookMaker for when you are ready to use this AL East showdown to bet on MLB baseball, but lets take an early look at what may yet come from this contest.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: The Atlanta Braves currently reside in the top spot in the National League East, though only thanks to a successful recent home stretch that saved them from a disappointing start to the month of May. Through the first two weeks of May, the Braves were merely 5-9, a sordid stretch that brought them back down to earth after their homerun fueled explosion in April. Still, a sweep of the Dodgers at home was the perfect medicine to put space back between them and the other division challengers, and now they look to create even more space by taking down a familiar foe in the New York Mets.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: The Baltimore Orioles head to Canada on Thursday for the first of three games against the Blue Jays. This is the second series this season for the American League East rivals. The teams previously had a three-game set in Baltimore. The Orioles came away with the series two-games-to-one as the Birds won the first two (2-1 and 4-3) and dropped the final 6-5.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: Thursday’s matchup between the Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox is the first of three games at Fenway.

MLB Betting Online: Whenever an interleague matchup rolls around on the schedule, fans of the home team rejoice in the chance to see a new and exciting team come into their ballpark that would normally stay isolated in their own respective league. For Chicago White Sox fans, another interleague showdown has arrived, though the opponent could never be mistaken for exciting. The White Sox welcome in the Miami Marlins to US Cellular Field, hoping for an easy series full of runs and wins. The White Sox will be easy favorites in this bet on MLB baseball, so their fans should at least get up for the opportunity to climb in the standings some.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: Neither the Philadelphia Phillies nor the Washington Nationals sit in their desired place in the standings, as the Atlanta Braves hold the top spot in the National League East. However, there is plenty of time for either team to turn things around, especially as neither trail the Braves by an exceptionally large amount of games. So, both teams need wins to propel their season forward, but only one can come out victorious. It is your job to make that prediction in this bet on MLB baseball, but let me see if I can help you decipher the winner here.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: The Atlanta Braves and New York Mets rivalry comes from their close proximity in the National League East. In the late 90’s and early 200’s these two sides routinely battled it out for the right to the AL East crown. While neither side has looked particularly impressive in recent years, all it takes is one season of dual contention to reignite the sparks in what was once a heated battle between two talented ball clubs. I wouldn’t miss the opportunity to see some drama on the field, especially if I used this game to bet on MLB baseball.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: The St. Louis Cardinals have been a force so far this season, owning the top record in the National League and standing behind only the Texas Rangers for the top spot in all of baseball. St. Louis owns the best run differential in the NL, displaying a great balance between offense and pitching so far this season. Whether the game turns into a slugfest or a pitcher’s duel, the Cardinals know how to win. They have been a solid choice in a bet on MLB baseball all year, and they look to be again as they prepare for this weekend showdown with the Los Angeles Dodgers.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: Wednesday’s game between the Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates is the second of a three-game series in the Steel City.

These teams met once already, opening the 2013 season in Pittsburgh, for a trio of outings with the Cubs as road dogs in all three. Chicago took the series 2-1.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: The Houston Astros have to figure out a way to keep opposing batters from round the bases. Tied for the worst record in the league, the burden falls squarely on the shoulders of their pitching staff, a group that would be better off in a slow pitch softball league. The Astros allow the most runs of any team in baseball at nearly 6 per game. It is no surprise, then, that they also own the worst run differential in the majors. The best offense in baseball, the Detroit Tigers, has produced 40 fewer runs than Houston has allowed on the year. In other words, the Astros make opposing hitters look good. The over is an easy bet on MLB baseball when the Astros take the mound.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: The Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers are two of the best teams in the American League and they will be showcased in the finale of a four-game set in Arlington on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball this weekend.

The Rangers are on fire offensively at the moment, and they are translating all those runs into wins.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: The New York Mets are one of the worst road teams in baseball this year, as they are just 6-12 and -3.68 units. Take Matt Harvey's starts out of the mix, and the team only has three road wins going into this series against the Chicago Cubs.

On Sunday, it will be up to Dillon Gee to break that cycle of lousy road results for the Mets. The righty has led his team to just a 1-3 record on the road this season, and that isn't going to be good enough by any stretch of the imagination.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: Take one step into Tinseltown and you'll notice just how laid back the city is. That's part of the identity and culture of LA LA Land, and the Dodgers seemed to have embraced that lethargy during in their 13-21 start to the season.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: The West Coast game on FOX Saturday Baseball heads to Anaheim this week, where the Los Angeles Angels and the Chicago White Sox will duke it out. The Angels have been around for 53 seasons, but they had never lost the first eight games that a starting pitcher was on the mound in a season.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: If you add up the payrolls of the Tampa Bay Rays and the Baltimore Orioles, you don't have the payrolls of any of the other three teams in the AL East.

Yet it is Baltimore and Tampa Bay that are the scary teams in this division, and the two will have at it at Camden Yards in a crucial clash on Saturday.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: Last month, the Cincinnati Reds swept the Philadelphia Phillies at Great American Ball Park. Now, the two are going to be facing off once again in the City of Brotherly Love as a part of FOX Saturday Baseball action this weekend.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: The Ballpark in Arlington has been a house of horrors for the Detroit Tigers.

They have lost four of their last five meetings in the Lone Star State. Game 2 of this week's four-game set between these perennial American League powers in Arlington will take place on Friday night.  Continue...

MLB Betting Online: Matt Harvey has been one of the best pitchers in the National League early in the season, and he is going to make another bid on Friday night at Wrigley Field to perhaps be named the starting pitcher at the All-Star Game.

Can you imagine just how good the Mets would be if Harvey would get some run support? He only has gotten six total runs of support in his last three outings, and instead of being 3-0 in those outings, he’s received three no-decisions and has guided the team to a 1-2 record.  Continue...
