Another full set of Interleague games is on tap for this weekend, and the American League is starting to distance itself from the Senior Circuit once again, as A.L. teams own a 67-58 record in the MLB betting matchups to date.
For this weekend, there are several intriguing matchups, including Milwaukee visiting Detroit in a battle of divisional leaders, as well as the renewal of regional rivalries between St. Louis and Kansas City and Dodgers-Angels.
The baseball season is picking up steam.
Today features more interleague MLB Gambling action, with the exception of the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds game.
One of the things interleague baseball allows for is cross-town rivalries and that is exactly what’s happening in the Windy City as the north side Chicago Cubs host the south side Chicago White Sox with the Cubbies listed as -165 favorites and the ChiSox at +145.
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?
Baseball’s second full weekend in May features several intriguing series’ between divisional mates, as well as a matchup between a surprising early front runner and an expected contender that is still finding its feet in ‘09.
With the usual 15 MLB matchups slated each day, it figures to be an exciting weekend on the diamond.

Baseball’s third weekend of the 2009 season offers up the first meeting between the sports biggest rivals, the Yankees and Red Sox.
Nothing says “intense baseball” more than when these two teams get together. Most often it doesn’t even matter what the clubs’ records are, the disdain with which they view one another trumps all.
In this case, both teams come in playing well, so it should be an exciting three-game set.
New York Yankees’ slugger Alex Rodriguez may be a bit of a fallen hero in Major League Baseball, but not in the Dominican Republic.
That’s because the Dominican team is listed as the favorite at betED.com to win the World Baseball Classic, thanks largely to A-Rod’s decision to play for the Dominican Republic instead of the U.S. team.

The angst, the outrage, the fan uprising, the media frenzy.
What about you? Shocked? Feeling letdown? Is baseball over for you?
Well, get over yourself. Everyone should have known years ago had we only been paying attention.
The question today is: which teams have made the biggest strides toward fulfilling their goal of unseating the Philadelphia Phillies as World Series champs, and because of the changes (or even lack of same), who offers value in the BetUS odds?

Don’t be surprised if the Philadelphia Phillies somehow manage to beat the Tampa Bay Rays, by bashing their fantastic young pitchers senseless en route to winning the second World Series title in franchise history.
Now, after guiding BetUS MLB wagering fanatics to a respectable 3-2 wagering mark in the BetUS Sportsbook on the first five games of this World Series matchup, including calling Sunday’s 10-2 overwhelming rout ‘dead-on’ in the BetUS Locker Room, finishing off the 2008 MLB season with one more winning wager is going to be an almost literal, ‘piece of cake.’
Series: 2-1 Phillies
This Game 4 matchup is a contest that the Philadelphia Phillies would love to win if they are to have any chance at beating the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2008 MLB World Series!
The fact of the matter is that the Phillies clearly don’t have the starting pitching to match up with a Rays team that genuinely looks like they could – not only go from worst to first – but could maintain their newfound level of excellence for years to come!
The Tampa Bay Rays started their turnaround 2008 campaign with a trade – they sent outfielder Delmon Young and infielder Brendan Harris to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for shortstop Jason Bartlett and starting pitcher Matt Garza. Bartlett has had a solid season, but it’s Garza who has paid off the most for all those doing MLB betting.
