MLB Trend Report – The Starting Five
MLB Handicapping
There isn’t a team in the game employing a four-man rotation at the moment, which means that each week, each team will send out five different starting pitchers. That’s five players from each of Major League Baseball’s 30 teams, meaning that at least 150 different names will hit the betting board in a given week.
Cincinnati Reds (51-40) vs Atlanta Braves (52-39)
After winning yesterday, the Cincinnati Reds have the 4th best record in the National League but unfortunately that is only good for third place in their own division.
San Francisco Giants (40-50) vs San Diego Padres (41-51)
It is almost hard to believe, but with their loss to the New York Mets today, San Francisco has sunk all the way to last in the National League West.
Nationals vs Phillies Baseball Odds
The Phillies have won 3 straight games and the first 2 in this NL East series. The Nationals are in 2nd place in the division 6 games behind the Atlanta Braves and the Phillies are in 3rd 7.5 games back of Atlanta.
Dodgers vs D-Backs Baseball Odds
The Diamondbacks have won 5 straight and this is after losing 5 in a row. They are in first place with a 4.5 game lead over the Dodgers, who have won 7 of their last 10 games.
Fall Classic
MLB All Star rosters were announced on Saturday, and with the game that decides who gets home field advantage in the World Series just a week away, let’s look at which teams could put that home field advantage to good use and claim the Commissioner’s Trophy. Odds courtesy of Bovada.lv.
White Sox (34-48) vs Rays (47-40)
The struggling Chicago White Sox dropped the opener of their series against Tampa on Friday night. It was the same old story of not getting much from their starting pitching as Dylan Axelrod couldn’t even get through 2 innings.
Braves (49-37) vs Phillies (42-45)
The Braves dropped the first game of their series against Philadelphia 5-4 Friday night. Atlanta still holds a 5 game lead in the National League East over Washington making this series way more important to the Phillies than the Braves.
St. Louis (50-33) vs Los Angeles (40-44)
St. Louis has been struggling lately with American League West clubs but they got the win yesterday over the Los Angeles Angels.
Dodgers (40-43) vs. Rockies (41-44)
The Los Angeles Dodgers have parlayed their great play of late into a big jump in the standings. Now out of the basement they enter today tied with Colorado for second place just 2.5 games behind Arizona in the National League West.
Dodgers vs Rockies Baseball Odds
The Dodgers are one of the hottest teams in the Majors, as they have won 3 straight and 9 of their last 10. They are only 2.5 games out of first place in the NL West.
Cardinals vs Angels Baseball Odds
The Cardinals have not fared well on their West Coast trip losing 6 of their last 8 games, but they still are in 2nd place in the tough NL West 2 games behind the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Angels are red-hot winners of 6 straight, but still trail the Texas Rangers by 9 games in the AL West.

MLB Trend Report – A Tale of Two Teammates
MLB Handicapping
It was Dickens who penned the line “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,” and for our purposes I’ll use that as a way of leading into this week’s Trend Report, one which focuses on teammates that are trending in opposite directions.
Milwaukee (32-46) vs Pittsburgh (49-30)
The Milwaukee Brewers jumped all over Pirates phenom Gerrit Cole in the first inning last night scoring 3 runs but the bats went silent after that. The end result a 10-3 loss at the hands of the Bucs.
Cincinnati (45-35) vs Texas (47-33)
The Cincinnati Reds have a nice record and a solid lead on that second Wild Card spot but they are slipping in the National League Central. They used to be neck and neck with Pittsburgh but the Pirates have raced ahead of late, zooming to the top of the league standings.
