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.
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.

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.
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.
St. Louis (48-30) vs Oakland (46-34)
Heading into the weekend St. Louis is tied with Pittsburgh atop the National League Central and all of baseball.
New York (42-36) vs Baltimore (43-36)
By virtue of the Yankees loss and the Orioles’ win on Thursday night New York find themselves a half game back of the O’s heading into the weekend. Worse yet, there seems to be too much focus off the field on players that are not contributing to the team at all – I wonder who that could be.
Toronto (39-38) vs Boston (46-33)
The Toronto Blue Jays did their usual thing in Tampa…lose. This time it put an end to their 11 game winning streak which tied a franchise best. The Jays were able to take at least one game from the Rays as R.A. Dickey dominated them in the finale on Wednesday.
Philadelphia (38-41) vs. Los Angeles (35-42)
For a moment it looked like the Philadelphia Phillies were going to start mounting a charge in the National League East. But with inconsistency in their everyday lineup and throughout the rotation (except for Cliff Lee) it just hasn’t happened.
Giants vs Dodgers Baseball Odds
Both the Dodgers and the Giants are 4-6 in their last 10 games and while San Francisco is in 2nd place in the NL West 3 games back of the Diamondbacks the Dodgers are in the basement of the division 8.5 games back of Arizona.
