Baseball Betting: AL Pitchers Report

Betting pitchers is like riding the city bus – you’ve got to know when to get on, and you’ve got to know when to get off. Some rides last only a few starts before sportsbooks adjust the betting odds, while other arms can boost your bankroll for the entire season.

Leading the American League money rankings is Los Angeles Angels righthander Matt Palmer, who is 5-0 with an ERA just over 4.00 but will likely be used out of the bullpen for the remainder of the season now that Kelvim Escobar has returned from the DL.

MLB: TOP PROSPECT TO NATIONALS, OR MAYBE NOT

The Washington Nationals made San Diego State pitcher Stephen Strasburg the first selection of the MLB Draft on Tuesday but will they have enough cash to sign him?

Sportsbook.com handicappers aren’t too convinced, listing the prospect at -130 odds to sign with the Nationals and -110 to not sign.

MLB Weekend Top 10

Sometimes we analysts make baseball betting way too complicated. We go on about obscure statistics, all sorts of day/night and home/road splits, and letdown spots. We search so hard for value that we often miss what’s right in front of us.

Take a look at this season’s MLB runline trends: Home underdogs are 144-95, good for just over 60%. Who needs to look farther than that to make some coin on baseball?

NBA Finals Game 4 Preview/Pick

The Lakers almost had the NBA Finals odds wrapped up with a nice little bow entering Game 3; they were ready to cruise to the title and maybe hit the golf course like those guys playing their St. Jude odds this weekend. Then the pesky Magic had to shoot the lights out – they do that sometimes – and climb back into the series. Can Orlando do it again in Game 4?

Burns’ Bad Beats: Hinch manages D’Backs to loss

Going by the Book guarantees nothing.

But it would be nice if your manager at least acted like he was aware when he was taking huge statisical gamble.

For example, in Tuesday’s Diamondbacks-Dodgers game, Arizona manager A.J. Hinch’s squad was in a bind.

Game 3 Magic Win – What does it mean for the series?

A very nice performance by the Orlando Magic in game 3 has this series at 2-1.

Now as a sports handicapper we need to analyze what does it mean for the upcoming games?

Can the Orlando Magic shoot over 60% for three more games?

The Arizona Cardinals came within inches of completing one of the most improbable runs in NFL history. While they didn’t win the Super Bowl, the Cardinals’ march through the regular season and playoffs has their NFL futures odds for 2009 a little smaller compared to past years.

NBA: GAME 3 BRINGS BIG-TIME REVENGE ANGLES
