MLB Betting – Who’s Hot MLB’s Hottest SU Teams

Teams are starting to jockey for position as we head towards the end of the month of July in the MLB betting season. Find out which teams are rounding into form as potential playoff teams with BetUS Sportsbook’s list of teams that are on fire…

(Rank) (Team) (SU Record, $$$) (SU Record in L/5, $$$)

1: Philadelphia Phillies (53-38, +$878) (5-0, +$506 in L/5) Not only are the defending champs 5-0 in their L/5, but they’re 10-0 in their L/10! As a result, they’ve opened up a commanding 6.5-game lead in the NL East standings and should coast towards a spot in the playoffs. In this run, they’re doing it with both their hitting and pitching. The bats have hummed to the tune of 5.7 runs per game in that stretch, while the arms have held the opposition to just 2.6 runs per game. 1B Ryan Howard has blasted three dingers and driven in seven runs in those ten games, but perhaps even more impressive is his whopping .500 OBP. Philadelphia is the only team in the bigs to have four players hit at least 20 home runs apiece. To put that in perspective; Howard, OF Raul Ibanez, OF Jayson Werth, and 2B Chase Utley have all combined to hit more home runs than any other team has in the NL East this season.

2: New York Yankees (56-37, +$45) (5-0, +$500 in L/5) The Bronx Bombers are back in first place in the AL East, and they may not give that spot up any time in the near future. They’ve opened up the second half with five straight home wins after losing their L/3 before the All-Star Break, and they certainly starting to look like a playoff team. Whereas the BoSox seemed to be the runaway favorites in the division just a week ago, it sure looks like they are going to be fighting with Tampa Bay and a host of other teams for the AL Wild Card spot instead of the divisional crown. The Yanks have the #1 offense in baseball, as they’re averaging 5.51 runs per game. They also lead the majors with 139 home runs. Imagine how impressive that number would’ve been had A-Rod been in the lineup all season…

3: Tampa Bay Rays (52-42, +$272) (4-1, +$309 in L/5) Here’s more bad news for Red Sox nation… The Rays are playing just as well as the Yanks are, but they’re doing it on the road. Tampa Bay is currently in the middle of a 10-game road trip, but once it’s finished with this trip, there’s a boatload of games to be held at Tropicana Field. Last season, the Rays played .667 ball at home, and if they’re going to make their move to get back into the postseason, that’s where they’re going to have to do it. SP Jeff Niemann won his ninth game of the season last night, and if Roy Halladay ends up getting traded to the National League before the trade deadline, he may be making himself a legitimate Cy Young Award contender. He’s already #1 in the minds of sports bettors as the top starting money pitcher in the game.

And the rest…

4: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (54-38, +$1,635) (4-1, +$299 in L/5)
5: Atlanta Braves (48-46, -$448) (4-1, +$294 in L/5)

Friday Night MLB

Tonight we will be having two PHATLINE`s for the Friday Night MLB plays. We go with Carlos Zambrano and the Cubs for the first game. ZAMBRANO is 67-44 (+21.5 Units) against the money line in road games in games played on a grass field since 1997. ZAMBRANO is 6-2 when starting against WASHINGTON with an ERA of 2.97 and a WHIP of 1.162. His team's record is 6-3 (+1.8 units) in these starts. CHICAGO CUBS are 49-20 (+26.7 Units) against the money line vs. teams who strand 7.5 or more runners on base per game over the last 2 seasons.

All of the stats are great but the best stat is they are playing the worst team in the league with the Nationals.

Game two we go with the Red Sox as I look for them to stay hot and the Blue Jays still trying to unload Roy, The Red Sox are there for Business and the Blue Jays are throwing in the towel for the year.

NFL Future Betting - Most Regular Season Rushing Yards — BetUS Locker Room

NFL Future Betting - Most Regular Season Rushing Yards — BetUS Locker Room

WHICH RUNNING BACK WILL TRAVEL THE FARTHEST?

Here is the entire list, with my comments, and last year's yardage total in parentheses:

BetUS Sportsbook Odds
Most Regular Season Rushing Yards

ADRIAN PETERSON +225 (1760)
-- He is once again the guy the Vikings will count on to get it done, with or without Brett Favre. You may want to count on him too, because he is quite simply the best in the business. He may be running behind a rookie right tackle, though.

MICHAEL TURNER +450 (1699)
-- Last year we thought he had an excellent chance, and he almost went all the way. This year could be even better.

DEANGELO WILLIAMS +800 (1515)
-- Reaching last year's total could be tough. This is more of a two-headed situation (with Jonathan Stewart), and that takes carries away from a guy.

CLINTON PORTIS +1200 (1487)
-- Portis got tired in the second half of last season. Expect him to get more relief early on from Ladell Betts, which won't help him in this derby.

STEVE SLATON +1400 (1282)
-- He is definitely the Texans' go-to guy, and you have to know that coach Gary Kubiak comes from the Denver culture, where he feels he has to run the ball. Slaton had more yardage than any other rookie last year. He can get into the 1600-yard range, which gives him a chance that may make it worth playing at this price.

LADAINIAN TOMLINSON +1400 (1110)
-- Some people think he is poised for a big comeback year. I don't doubt that he can improve on last year's figure, but he's got a lot of mileage on him, and last year was not a good sign as he was coming off an injury.

STEVEN JACKSON +1600 (1042)
-- The Rams are very committed to building their new offense around Jackson, and he has the ability to pull it off, but will THEY be good enough? Remember also that Jackson, at his best, distributes his production pretty well between rushing and receiving.

CHRIS JOHNSON +1600 (1228)
-- A lot of people look at Tennessee's backfield as more of a two-headed monster, but I don't think they'd have any problem putting LenDale White into a more subordinate and/or short yardage role, and letting Johnson make huge plays more often. As a 16/1 shot, he may be well worth a pop, because he is one of the fee guys on this list who can take it coast-to-coast from anywhere. Possible snag - he may see some time at wide receiver.

RYAN GRANT +2000 (1203)
-- Grant showed in the latter stages of 2008 that his 2007 heroics were no fluke. However, I wonder whether the Packers will just be flooding the air with football too much to accommodate him in any quest for the rushing lead.

FRANK GORE +2000 (1036)
-- Gore has been in the position before where he has challenged for the league rushing lead. He also has a coach who is very committed to running the football. That's not a bad combination for a guy who still has the ability, and will go far if he can stay healthy. Put him down on your list of longshot possibilities.

BRANDON JACOBS +2000 (1089)
-- What we like is that the Giants don't have the same kind of faith in backup Ahmad Bradshaw as they did in Derrick Ward. That means Jacobs, who is big and strong and averaged five yards a carry last season, will get the ball more from a coach and offensive coordinator who insist on running the ball. That puts him in our top five and also makes him a value play at 20/1.
