A couple of first place teams meet up at American Life Field when the Dodgers (69-49) and Brewers (67-50) begin a 4-game series that could foreshadow a postseason meeting. Los Angeles just completed a 4-2 home stand including a sweep of the Pirates over the weekend while Milwaukee had a 5-game win streak snapped in […]
The Rangers (55-63) thought they could make a run after the All-Star break and although they did put together a 5-game win streak at one point the team is 4-11 since then which has essentially sealed their fate out of the playoffs. Boston (61-55) on the other hand is still just 3GB from the second […]
While the Guardians (69-49) are trying to hold on to their division lead after going 3-7 over their last 10, the Cubs (59-60) are trying to get back to .500 and claw their way to the last wild card spot in the NL, currently sitting 3 GB. Cleveland and Chicago begin a 3-game interleague series […]
Arizona got hot in the second half of the season last year as they made an improbable run to the World Series, and the Diamondbacks (52-50) can push their record to 4-2 on their six game road trip with a win on Wednesday in Kansas City. The Royals (56-46) had won four in a row […]
The free fall for the Blue Jays (45-55) continues as they dropped the series opener to the Rays 4-2 on Tuesday. Toronto has now dropped to 15 GB of the Orioles as they sit in the basement of the AL East. Tampa Bay (51-50) is having a down year by their standards, but they might […]
Kansas City may be sitting in third place in the AL Central, but they are actually the second best home team in baseball (behind the Phillies) with a 30-17 mark at Kauffman Stadium. That’s a great stat for Royals fans, but visiting Tampa Bay doesn’t care as they took the series opener 5-1 on Tuesday […]
The Rangers seem to have put a six game losing streak behind them, winning consecutive games while outscoring their opponents 18-2 in the process. That includes Tuesday’s 7-0 series opening win over the Padres as San Diego has now dropped two in a row after winning their previous five. Offshore oddsmakers like Texas again as […]
The Astros being underdogs on Tuesday is almost an instant locked in play on Houston for a number of reasons. First off, the Astros already have a victory in their visit to the North with a 3-1 win in Toronto on Monday afternoon and they were also the hottest team in baseball in June with […]
Offshore oddsmakers seem a bit torn – at least early – on the line for Tuesday’s Cardinals vs Pirates series opener at PNC Park. Depending on which book you go to, either St. Louis or Pittsburgh is the listed favorite early. The Redbirds having the upper hand for this meeting would make more sense but […]
There’s perhaps nothing better for a team that has hit five grand slams in their last eight games like a trip to the hitter friendly Denver atmosphere at Coors Field. The ball could be rocking off the Brewers (50-34) bats on Monday night as the team has won six of their last seven. The Rockies […]
