MLB Baseball Betting - New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers
In another nationally televised sports betting game on the Fox Network, the New York Yankees take on the Detroit Tigers in a game between two American League teams that, so far this season, have performed below expectations. As a BetUS online MLB betting fan, I expected more from both of these teams. Now, I just expect to make some dollars on betting against either team instead of sitting down with a six pack and enjoying the game.
Hey, that’s okay! Making money is always fun even if your making online wagers on one or two teams that have no chance of making it to the post-season. The Yankees just don’t have the pitchers to get them there this year. They send Darrell Rasner to the mound in this afternoon game. He is 1 and 0 on the season with a 3.00 ERA. Maybe Rasner keeps the good times going - - maybe not. It’s hard to tell.
The Tigers send Jeremy Bonderman to the mound. Like almost every player in Detroit’s rotation, Bonderman is having an off year. His ERA stands at 4.17 and his record is 2 and 3.
Here are my personal online sportsbook betting odds for this Saturday game.
Darrell Rasner – R + 1 ½ - 145 + 125 O 9 ½
Jeremy Bonderman – R - 1 ½ + 130 - 145 U 9 ½
Here are some trends that might help us find a suitable BetUS baseball betting wager on this game.
The New York Yankees are 1 and 4 in their last 5 games on a Saturday.
The New York Yankees are 1 and 5 in their last 6 games versus a team from the A.L. Central Division.
The Detroit Tigers are 4 and 1 in Jeremy Bonderman’s last 5 starts on grass.
There’s nothing really to like about either one of the starters in this game. That means that we’ll have to get creative with our online wagers.
I just don’t have faith in Bonderman to give up a run and a half. So, I’m going to go with the BetUS over in this game.
The BetUS over is at a very nice 9 ½ runs. I have to take it for the simple fact that it’s probably the only online wager that BetUS will be offering on Saturday in this game that makes sense.
Bonderman isn’t good enough for me to bite. Rasner isn’t good enough to warrant my dollars. That leaves me with a simple online bet on the BetUS over.
