The New York Mets started the baseball betting season just like most sports wagering fans expected: terribly. After losing most of their games during the first two weeks of the MLB odd action something strange started to happen. The Mets started to win, and win some more and now, heading into the second game of three-game baseball betting series with the LA Dodgers the Mets have won four games in a row and will looking for a fifth straight victory.

This is something quite unusual for this team which has suffered through one disappointing season after another during the past few MLB betting seasons. Last in particular was awful for NY Mets fans as the team was among the worst in the NL baseball betting. But after acquiring a few free agent bats in the off season and keeping their pitching staff healthy the Mets are finally playing a like with the front office hoped it would be when it put together this gazillion dollar payroll.

The New York Mets are currently playing host to the LA Dodgers in an intriguing NL baseball series in the Big Apple. It probably comes as little surprise that one of these teams is in last place in their MLB odds division, but might surprise is which team. The Mets, coming off a horrendous 2009 MLB betting season and a rotten start to the 2010 baseball wagering season have actually climbed out their hole and currently sit second in the NL East.

It’s the LA Dodgers that are in last place of their baseball betting division. At 8-10 this is not where the Dodgers wanted to be after a month of MLB odds action and this team is trying to pull back into contention in a very competitive NL West. Surprisingly the San Diego Padres (11-7) have snatched the early lead in the NL West betting competition but only three games separate the first place team from the last place team. Read more…

No player in all of baseball betting has received more attention from the media for activities off the field than A-Rod. He’s the highest paid player in not just baseball wagering but in all of sports betting. He dates high profile celebrities, lives in the biggest media market in MLB betting and in case anyone forgot is also an admitted user of steroids.

So while it’s quite understandable why the baseball betting public (or at least the people who buy newspapers and magazines) are fascinated by A-Rods behavior both on the baseball wagering diamond and off it this massive spotlight has no doubt been a distraction to the player. Read more…

Only several weeks into the new baseball betting season and some division rivalries are already starting to look like MLB playoff betting series. Perhaps that’s an exaggeration, but you can expect plenty of intensity when the Philadelphia Phillies travel to Atlanta to take on the Braves in game two of this MLB odds series.

Philadelphia (8-4), the defending NL champs are off to a great start to the 2010 ML betting season and are likely an even better team this season than they were last baseball betting season. The reason of course is the addition of ace Roy Halladay who has been dominating NL batters so far in his brief stint as the Phillies’ MLB betting ace. Read more…

Two of the premier teams in the NL East will go head to head in the baseball betting action on Tuesday night when the Philadelphia Phillies cruise into Hotlanta in what should be an NL East sports betting extravaganza. On April 20th the 7-5 Braves play host to the division leading Phillies (8-4) in the first game of three game MLB odd matchup.

The Phillies have picked up right where they left off last baseball betting season and have established themselves atop the NL East standings. After getting off to a great start to the MLB betting season this team has lost some ground in the past week to an up and coming Marlin team that just took a series in Philly to pull within one game of the division leaders in the baseball wagering standings.
