Monday MLB Betting Preview – Giants at Brewers

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

Playing the total is a definite option for bettors in the first game of this NL series.

San Francisco Giants at Milwaukee Brewers

San Francisco dropped a 4-3 decision to the Colorado Rockies in 15 innings on Sunday at Coors Field.  The club is four games into a season-long 11-game road trip that takes the team through three different time zones.  “We need to be more consistent on both sides of the ball,” manager Bruce Bochy said.  Since June 22, the Giants have lost 10 of 12 games and have been outscored by a 67-42 margin.  San Francisco’s recent troubles has caused the team to fall back a season-high 7.5 games in the NL West divisional race.  The team has good reason to be confident in playing the Brewers, as the Giants have posted their best record against NL Central opponents this season (15-7).  San Francisco played at Miller Park twice last season, going 3-3, but the club has won just six of their last 23 games in Milwaukee.

Sunday MLB Betting Preview – Giants at Rockies

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The Rockies are a difficult team to deal with at home especially during the month of July.

San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies

San Francisco earned an 11-8 come-from-behind victory last night over Colorado ace Ubaldo Jimenez at Coors Field.  The club has still lost nine of their last 11 games, but finally broke over the three-run barrier.  During the team’s seven-game losing streak, the offense failed to score more than three runs over that span.  “After losing so many in a row, we weren’t going to roll over and die,” said outfielder Nate Schierholtz.  Closer Brian Wilson continues to shut the door when given the opportunity, picking up his 22nd save of the season last night.  The Giants stand at an even 15-15 during the day this season (-260), with the total going 11-16-3 (O/U) in those contests.  The offense is batting .251 in the afternoon in 2010, while combining to hit just .225 over the past seven games.

Saturday MLB Betting Preview – Giants at Rockies

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The Giants are hoping starting pitcher Barry Zito’s success against tonight’s opponent will ultimately snap their losing streak.

San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies

San Francisco lost its seventh straight game in dropping a 6-3 contest to the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field.  The offense is much to blame during the streak, failing to score more than three runs in any contest over that span.  The Giants have now lost nine of their last 10 games and 11 of their previous 14.  Facing division foes will not make turning things around any easier, with the team going 8-19 against the NL West division this season (-1,500).  That mark gets even worse with the team being 2-10 on the road against divisional opponents.  The team has produced a dismal 3-7 record in games after three or more consecutive losses (-460).

Friday MLB Betting Preview – Giants at Rockies

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The Giants are falling fast in the NL West standings and are hoping their ace can stop the slide.

San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies

San Francisco is praying that its two-time Cy Young Award winner can jumpstart the club, as the team has lost a season-high six games.  The bullpen also needs an extended start by the rotation, as the unit has pitched 40.1 of the club’s last 96 innings.  “We can use an extra arm right now,” manager Bruce Bochy said.  The Giants have had all kinds of trouble against division opponents, producing a 8-18 versus the NL West (-1,400).  Tonight will be San Francisco’s second game of an 11-game, three-city trip, as the team has posted a 15-21 mark away from AT&T Park (-720).  The lineup has scored three runs-or-fewer in 36 of its 78 games this year, but there are still seven other teams in that National League that have had more games in the category.

Wednesday MLB Daytime Betting Feature – Orioles at Giants

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

The Giants two-time Cy Young winner takes to the mound, looking to gain more confidence against the worst team in baseball.

Baltimore Orioles at San Francisco Giants

Baltimore grabbed a 4-1 victory in the second game of this three-game series last night, winning for just the third time in their last 19 games.  The Orioles have been outscored 118-45 over that span.  Tuesday’s victory also snapped the team’s nine-game road losing streak, as opponents held a 55-19 advantage in those games.  OF Adam Jones launched a solo home run in leading the Orioles offense, but the team has still hit just 51 home runs on the year, good for 10th in the American League and 51 behind league-leading Toronto.  Baltimore is still the only team in baseball without a home run from its first baseman.  Scoring runs is still difficult for the group, managing to score just 39 runs in their last 17 games and 45 runs in their last 19 games.

Memorial Day MLB Betting Preview

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

Two of the prize pitchers in the National League face off for the fifth time in their careers at AT&T Park.

Colorado Rockies at San Francisco Giants

Colorado dropped Sunday’s rubber match, 4-3, against the Los Angeles Dodgers.  “We did nothing to lose the game and everything we could to win the game,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy said after the game.  The Rockies are still 15-12 in the month of May (+280), which is an improvement from their 36-47 mark during the month the last three years (-1,500).  Colorado finds itself in one of its worst betting situations as a team, being placed on the road with a money line of -100 to -125, going 2-5 this year (-380) and 10-26 the last three seasons (-1,920).

This Years Best Baseball Rotations

Posted on by Anthony Kustral in Headlines

Needless to say, not all rotations in baseball are created equal. Some teams have five starting pitchers who are trustworthy and reliable to bettors, while others barely have one or two. You obviously need to handicap each pitcher separately – as opposed to betting on a team based on the strength or weakness of their rotation – but looking at the comparative strengths of the rotations from a betting perspective is still a useful and entertaining exercise. Here are my top four rotations in order:

Sunday MLB Daytime Betting Preview

Posted on by Jeff Mattinger in Headlines

Both the Chicago White Sox and Oakland Athletics are poised to complete a sweep of their opponent on Sunday.

Florida Marlins at Chicago White Sox

Florida managed to score just a single run on Saturday, ending a season long stretch of 23 scoreless innings.  In its last six road games, the Marlins have been held to three runs or fewer five times (5-0-1 O/U).  “We need to make an adjustment and start scoring runs again,” said 2B Dan Uggla.  A win today would keep the team’s May record above .500 (11-10, +40), which is still a remarkable improvement from a disastrous 9-20 record in the month last season.  Florida is 12-16 against right-handed starters this season (-600), but has garnered a 131-125 mark the last three seasons (+810).
