Hard to believe, as many of us watch the snow fall outside, that the Boys of Summer are almost back. But it’s true; teams have reported to 2010 Major League Baseball training camps and it’s time to start our team-by-team baseball gambling previews for the year.

Minnesota Twins
The Twins will enter the break right around .500 and still be in contention in the American League Central. That is the good news. The bad news is that after the break, 40 of their remaining 73 games are on the road. Minnesota finished the first half with a 17-24 record on the road and it will come out of the gates with 10 straight road games beginning July 17th.
Sometimes in sports betting, particularly in baseball, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the day-to-day grind and possibly overlook some obvious and powerful numbers.
For instance, with Interleague play in full swing again this week, did you know that the Minnesota Twins are 19-5 in their last 24 games versus the National League?
That would have been nice to know before their weekend series at the Cubs, right?
Handicapping early season baseball requires a slightly different approach from the rest of the season, as well as a unique approach from any other sport. Baseball also has a vast amount of information available, much more than any of the other three major sports. In fact, successful baseball wagering requires bettors to know pitching match-ups, streaks/trends, line-up changes, travel situations, etc.
The Los Angeles Dodgers were stuck in neutral until they acquired a player who might just be the best right-handed hitter in Major League Baseball history. They were a small-ball team until they acquired Manny Ramirez at the trade deadline last season but now that he’s here for the long haul, MLB betting fans know that the Dodgers will be as well.
Earlier this week in MLB betting, we discussed the rise and fall of the Colorado Rockies between 2007 and 2008, and how they were an extremely tough team to forecast this season. Well, their division rivals, the Arizona Diamondbacks, are in a similar boat for the 2009 MLB odds. We know they have talent – particularly in the pitching department – but can the young bats catch up to the arms and lead the D’Backs to the playoffs?
San Francisco is an MLB betting darkhorse in the National League West, which is more of a statement about the weakness of the division than it is about the Giants. San Francisco has a great pitching staff, but unless its finds a way to generate more run support, it could be another long season in the City by the Bay.
In 2009 MLB betting, few teams are tougher to predict than the Colorado Rockies. A year after a magical late-season run boosted them into the playoffs and the World Series, the Rockies tumbled to a 74-88 record. Which is the real Colorado team? Most online betting fans would answer “why, somewhere in between, silly,” but even that is no sure thing.
MLB betting players know that pitching will take you a long way, but what’s the point if there’s no offense to drive in runs? This is the problem facing San Diego heading into the MLB season, and sportsbook odds are against the Padres in 2009.
