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)
