Yankees vs Rays MLB Betting + Handicapping Picks
Two of the biggest powerhouses in the American League East will do battle in game one of a three game set when the New York Yankees open the 2012 season in Florida against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Boston Red Sox (0-0) vs Detroit Tigers (0-0)
I know it is early but I don’t like the look of this Red Sox team. They had an epic collapse last year and I don’t see where they are improved at all heading into this season. A bunch of players had great years last season and it still wasn’t enough.
Miami Marlins vs. Cincinnati Reds MLB Betting Preview
The Miami Marlins have a whole new look this season. No longer are they the “Florida” Marlins, and no longer do they have low expectations.

It is almost that time of year folks – the smell of popcorn and hot dogs is filling the air in 30 North American cities – baseball is here! Every two weeks during the regular season, Dave B will compile a list of teams on the rise and teams on the decline in the Majors.
St. Louis Cardinals (0-0) vs Miami Marlins (0-0)
First game of the year as St. Louis tried to defend its World Series title. The first and most obvious difference this season is that ALbert Pujols now plays for the Angels but this club enters the season with a lot more question marks than that.
MLB 2012 Division Odds and Win Totals – AL East
The 2012 MLB season is just days away. Spring Training will be winding down soon, and the games will start to count. We’re taking a division-by-division look at betting odds and team by team season win totals. Let’s take a closer look at the American League East.
2012 AL MVP Odds + Picks
In 2011, Justin Verlander became the first pitcher to win the MVP award in a long time. Verlander earned the pitchers version of the Triple Crown and edged out Jacoby Ellsbury and Jose Bautista. The 2012 Major League Baseball season is about to get started.
2012 AL ROY Predictions / Picks / Odds
The 2011 AL Rookie of the Year award as taken away by the Tampa Bay Rays’ Jeremy Hellickson.
The 2005 4th round amateur draft pick had a heck of a season, setting the bar high as he put up Cy Young worthy numbers as a rookie a year ago. Unfortunately, with an abnormal number of pitchers in the sub 3 ERA range, he was not even in contention.
So , he settled for a very much deserved Rookie of the Year award though with his 2.95 ERA, and 1.15 WHIP in 189 innings pitched.
So, with that, it makes it even more intriguing that our No. 1 pick for this year’s NL ROY Award winner also comes from the sunshine state.
Matt Moore
Everyone knows this guy’s pedigree by now. Moor made his first Major League start last season on September 9th in the lone star state against a dominant Texas Rangers’ lineup. What did he do? The Ray’s future ace threw seven shutout innings, allowing just two hits, and struck out six, to just two walks. During his 2011 season prior to being called up, he made two stops. In AA he sported a 2.20 ERA, 11.52 K/9, and a FIP of 2.62 in 18 starts.
He after, moving up to Triple A, had an ERA of 1.37, K/9 of 13.50 in 9 starts and his FIP fell to 2.02.
Jesus Montero
The former Yankee farmhand was the centerpiece of the Michael Pineda deal that took place back in the off-season. This will finally free up Montero for some consistent playing time that he has long deserved. He has hit at least .280 every stop along the way in the minor leagues. In his short stint with the Yankees a year ago, he managed a .328 average with a .406 OBP. If he can find a way to cut down on the strikeouts, he will be a force in the middle of that Seattle order.
Danny Hultzen
Another Mariner, Hultzen was the second overall pick in last year’s first player draft. He will no doubt be on the fast track to the majors, and if he gets there early enough in the season, will be a major player for this award. His case will be aided by pitching in Safeco as it is a major pitcher’s park. He is a three pitch pitcher that employs a mid-90’s fastball with a devastating changeup that sits in the lower 80’s. His third pitch is a slider that needs some work, but with time will develop into a very solid third pitch for him at the Major League level.
Brad Peacock
The A’s picked this guy up when they dealt Gio Gonzalez to the Nationals in the off-season. He made a couple of starts a season ago, and picked up a couple of wins in the process. He came on quickly last season as before the year he hadn’t had a year with a sub 3 ERA, but after dominating AA and AAA was given a shot at the Major League level where he thrived.
Jarrod Parker
The A’s have another contender, and at one time this guy was one of the best prospects around. While injuries delayed Parker’s arrival to the big leagues, he will get there at some point during this season. Although he is with a new club this season following the trade of Trevor Cahill to the Diamondbacks, he should thrive in Oakland. Parker made his first major league start a season ago, throwing 5.2 shutout innings, and A’s fans will be delighted with their new boy.

2012 MLB Handicapping: Chicago White Sox
