August ushers in the dog days of summer, soaring temperatures and truly meaningful baseball games…finally. Sports bettors have been focused on baseball for months, as the daily baseball lines have bettors grinding out the long season. But now the heat gets really turned up, as teams, fans and bettors begin to get serious. With the stretch drive on the horizon, these wins and losses have real implications for many teams. The Division and Wild-Card races are on.
<o> </o>
The AL East, as usual, demands a ton of attention. Currently it looks like business as usual with the New York Yankees leading the division and the Boston Red Sox trying to chase them down (2.5-games back).
<o> </o>
Online sportsbook SPORTSBETTING.com has the Yankees listed as the odds-on faves to win the division, pegged at -125, while the BoSox are +100 to do the same.
<o> </o>
Guess which two teams start a four-game series?
<o> </o>
Red Sox at Yankees:
Going into the opener at Yankee Stadium tonight, the hometown Yanks are listed at -175 while the visiting Boston Red Sox are +155 underdogs—the Total is set at 10.
<o> </o>
Despite the AL East lead, the Yanks have struggled against the BoSox recently.
<o> </o>
In the last nine games overall between the two, the Yanks have yet to win, going 0-9 straight up.
<o> </o>
Total bettors take note as these two have combined for a mark of 1 over, 6 unders and 2 pushes in those nine games.
<o> </o>
The Yanks’ last 10 home games against <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Boston</st1:City></st1lace> haven’t gone well either as they are 3-7 SU.
<o> </o>
The Red Sox send veteran John Smoltz to the mound. <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Boston</st1lace></st1:City> has not fared well in Smoltz’s starts, going 2-5 when he has taken the mound to start a game.
<o> </o>
The same can’t be said for the Yanks, who have Joba Chamberlain going for them. In his last nine home starts, the Yanks are an impressive 8-1 and 4-0 in his last four starts.
<o> </o>
Early betting action has tilted to the Yankees, as SPORTSBETTING.com is reporting 71% of all the action on <st1:State w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">New York</st1lace></st1:State>.
<o> </o>
Mariners at Royals:<o></o>
The Seattle Mariners play the rubber match of their current road series against the Kansas City Royals. The M’s are listed at -115, the Royals are listed at -105 when betting into the baseball dime line.
<o> </o>
The Mariners are going for the three-game sweep but history hasn’t been kind to them when they play in K.C.
<o> </o>
In the nine games prior to their current series against the Royals, <st1:City w:st="on">Seattle</st1:City> went 1-8 SU in <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Kansas City</st1:City></st1lace>.
<o> </o>
It will be lefty Jason Vargas’ turn in the Mariner rotation and in his last 10 road games, he has struggled going 3-7 SU.
<o> </o>
<st1lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Kansas City</st1:City></st1lace> has struggled mightily against southpaws, especially in the last 10 games, as they are only 2-8 SU.
<o> </o>
The Royals will send LHP Bruce Chen to the mound and in his last 12 home starts, <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Kansas City</st1:City></st1lace> is 4-8 SU.
<o> </o>
Braves at Dodgers:<o></o>
Seeing as the Los Angeles Dodgers are 6-games in the clear in the NL West and the Atlanta Braves are 5-games back of the NL Wild Card, the upcoming four-gamer between the two should be interesting.
<o> </o>
The last 10 times the Dodgers have hosted <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Atlanta</st1:City></st1lace>, the Over/Under has gone 7-3.
<o> </o>
The game takes place at Dodger Stadium with Derek Lowe getting the start for <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Atlanta</st1:City></st1lace> and Randy Wolf starting for the home team.
<o> </o>
Lowe is on a bit of a roll when pitching on grass as he is 5-0 SU in his last five games on that surface.
<o> </o>
Wolf has gone 9-3 SU in his last 12 home games.
<o> </o>
Bettors are torn on this matchup, as early action has Lowe favored by a small margin (54%).
<o> </o>
Enjoy the big games this weekend.
