MLB Baseball Betting - Mets vs. Yankees
The third game of the interleague online sports betting series between the New York Mets and the New York Yankees might be the most exciting as pitchers John Maine for the Mets and ace Chien-Ming Wang for the Yankees, take the mound. Maine has been awesome this season. His ERA is a fantastic 2.81. His record is a stellar 5 and 2. With 38 strike-outs in 48 innings, Maine has proven himself to be a viable BetUS online sportbook bet every time he takes the mound.
Of course, Chien-Ming Wang hasn’t exactly been a throw-out online betting wager this season. He’s just as awesome as Maine. Wang has gone 6 and 1 with a 2.90 ERA. His ability to pitch well into games, he’s gone 59 inning in 9 games - - that’s an average of 6 ½ innings each game - - makes him a very viable BetUS baseball betting option on the run-line almost every time he steps onto the mound.
Here are my personal MLB betting odds for this game.
John Maine – R + 1 ½ - 165 - 110 O 8 Ev
Chien-Ming Wang – R - 1 ½ + 135 - 110 U 8 - 120
Here are a few trends not counting Friday’s and Saturday’s games that might help us find a good wager in this Sunday affair.
The New York Mets are 1 and 5 in their last 6 interleague games versus a team with a losing record.
The New York Mets are 10 and 26 in their last 36 interleague games on the road.
The New York Yankees are 47 and 14 in their last 61 interleague games at home.
The New York Yankees are 14 and 6 in their last 20 home games versus a team with a winning record.
Both pitchers, Maine and Wang, are solid. Finding a wager on the run-line is going to be very difficult in this game.
Our best chance is probably to just pick a team and ride it out. The reason I say that is because neither team should go off the favorite in this situation. That means that we are going to get solid online odds on a very good team who has a legitimate chance to win this game.
That’s the idea. I’m going to wait until the actual BetUS betting lines come out on Sunday morning. Then, I’m going to go ahead and bet on the team receiving the best odds.
It ght be the Yankees. It might be the Mets. Because both starting pitchers are so solid, it really doesn’t matter.
