Two of the favorites in the American League East are struggling right now and will look to get back on track as they square off against each other with the Boston Red Sox ( 13-15, -$516 ) traveling north of the border to take on the Toronto Blue Jays ( 14-15, -$204 ).The BoSox are trending in the wrong direction and with Hanley Ramirez out, this may be the best time for the Jays to take on Boston....
The Kansas City Royals ( 18-10, $790 ) and the Detroit Tigers ( 18-11, $588 ) continue to be two of the best teams in all of baseball as they kick off a three game weekend set that includes the middle game on Saturday.Evenly matched, this series is an early battle for the top spot in the AL Central....
ODDS ANALYSISThe AL Central won’t be decided this weekend in Detroit but it already seems like the teams battling at Comerica Park will be vying for that title all season long. The Royals and Tigers hook up for the second straight weekend after splitting a four-game set in Kansas City from Apr. 30 to May 3.The team’s played even on the moneyline in last weekend’s series with both teams winning twice. Thanks to an 8-1 win in the opener on Apr. 30, the Royals outscored Detroit 17-10....

ODDS ANALYSISA rough week for the Cubs started when they dropped the last two of a three-game set in Wrigley Field to the Brewers last weekend and they won just once in six games entering this series.A showdown with the Cardinals didn’t go as planned for the Cubbies as they dropped three of four in Busch Stadium and look to get back on track with their first visit to Milwaukee. Chicago lost two of three to the Brewers last weekend down 2.2 units on the moneyline and scored just ...
ODDS ANALYSISThe Reds have been a middle of the road team all season on the field and at the betting window. Cincinnati enters its interleague series with the White Sox at 14-14 through its first 28 games up slightly on the moneyline 0.52 units. They’ve also alternated over/under plays in its last 10 games with the under going 13-12-3 for the season. The Reds haven’t been spectacular in any area and they haven’t been horrible which makes them a selective bet. With ace Johnny Cueto on the hill Saturday against a team at the bottom of the rankings in runs scored, this might be the time to make the selection....
ODDS ANALYSISIt's been a difficult opening month of the season for the Washington Nationals, who were projected as a World Series contender before the season started. With wins in seven of nine games heading into their weekend series though, the Nats have seemingly found some consistency as they look to reach the .500 mark....
The Kansas City Royals (17-10 SU, +6.87 Units) and Detroit Tigers (17-11 SU, +4.82 Units) figure to be two of the best teams in baseball this year. They'll wrap up their weekend series on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball this weekend....
The St. Louis Cardinal ( 20-7, $1,152 ) enter play with the best record in baseball and a sizeable division lead. Originally, the Pittsburgh Pirates ( 12-15, -$529 ) were expected to be their biggest challenger, but offensive woes have prevented them from getting off to the start they were expecting....
For years and years, the New York Yankees ( 17-10 SU, +7.15 Units ) were one of the most public teams in the league and were generally horrible for bettors. Now though, they seem to have a lot of value, perhaps even more than the Baltimore Orioles ( 12-12 SU, +0.13 ), the team they will face on Thursday in the Bronx....
Despite injuries to key players like Yasiel Puig and Carl Crawford, the Los Angeles Dodgers ( 17-9, $437 ) have kept the ball rolling with the National League’s second best record. Meanwhile, their opponent in Thursday’s series finale, the Milwaukee Brewers ( 8-19, -$1,021 ) hold the worst mark in baseball and have already relieved manager Ron Roenicke of his duties....
ODDS ANALYSISAfter losing five straight, including a four-game set at Minnesota over the weekend, rumors began to swirl regarding White Sox manager Robin Ventura and his status. With expectations high for the Sox this season an underachieving start is unacceptable. A series with the AL Central leading Tigers could tell us a lot about the direction the Sox are headed and a win in the opener was a good start....
ODDS ANALYSISWill anybody score off the Giants pitching staff? Nobody has in the last three games with the Padres getting blanked in each of the first two of the three-game set that concludes Wednesday. At 14-14 through 28 games, San Diego is probably not where general manager AJ Preller thought they would be after a complete offseason roster overhaul, but it’s still better than where they’ve been at this point in any of the past 10 seasons....
The home team has won the last six games between the Miami Marlins (12-14 SU, -4.20 Units) and the Washington Nationals (13-14 SU, -4.32 Units). The home standing Nats will hope that streak continues on getaway day Wednesday afternoon....
ODDS ANALYSISIf the Cubbies are to be serious contenders in the NL Central they must prove it by beating the team widely considered the class of the division. They had a chance Monday in the series opener and let a five-run first inning lead disappear before succumbing with bullpen failures. The teams continue their four-game series Tuesday....
ODDS ANALYSISWhile the New York Mets offense has fallen off since an 11-game win streak, the Baltimore Orioles have gone in the other direction following a five-game skid. The clubs meet in an interleague matchup playing the second of a quick two-game set Wednesday in New York....
The New York Mets (16-10 SU, +6.89 Units) were beaten in successive 1-0 games over the weekend by the Nationals. They'll hope that a switch to Interleague play will give them a little more pep in their offense when they face the temporarily homeless Baltimore Orioles (12-11 SU, +1.13) to conclude a short two-game set....
A once fierce rivalry is once again starting to build as the Chicago Cubs ( 13-10, $109 ) sit second, behind the St. Louis Cardinals (18-6, $1,079 ) in the NL Central standings here in early May....
The somewhat surprising Minnesota Twins (13-12 SU, +3.51 Units) have been dominating at home this season. They'll look to continue that dominance against the Oakland Athletics (11-15 SU, -6.75 Units) on Tuesday night....
ODDS ANALYSISThe season’s first month has been an exciting resurgence for the Chicago Cubs. For the Cardinals is been business as usual. The two hook up in a meeting between the NL Central’s top two clubs in the first of a four-game set Monday....
The St. Louis Cardinals (18-6 SU, +10.79 Units) have been dominant en route to the lead in the NL Central through the first month of the season. They can continue to open up space between themselves and the Chicago Cubs (13-10, +1.09 Units) if they can win the first game of a four-game set on Monday night....
ODDS ANALYSISWinners in 10 of their last 13 games the New York Yankees enter the series with their bitter rival one game up in the AL East standings.Both teams are relevant again in the division and with Alex Rodriguez one home run shy of tying Willie Mays for fourth place on the all-time list there will be plenty of excitement surrounding this three-game set....
ODDS ANALYSISThe Angels and Giants dip into the interleague portion of their schedule for the first time this season hooking up in the middle of a three-game set. Both teams struggled offensively in the first month of the season ranking near the bottom of their respective leagues in runs scored and a breakout in a park that doesn’t normally allow a lot of runs is unlikely.The Angels showed signs of snapping out of their scoring slump scoring six times in each of their last two games at Oakland winning both for their fourth straight over play....
ODDS ANALYSISIf things couldn’t get more bizarre for the Orioles they’ll travel to Tampa due to unrest in downtown Baltimore to take on the Rays in a three-game ‘home’ set starting Friday. The O’s will play as the home team in their series with the Rays at Tropicana Field wearing home whites and getting last at-bats.This coming after Wednesday’s contest with Chicago was closed to spectators due to safety concerns from rioting in the city....
