MLB Baseball Betting - Los Angeles Angels vs. Boston Red Sox

By D.S Williamson

This early game offers some hopes of a few BetUS sportsbook wagers as the Boston Red Sox must once again use a pitcher other then the one they designated for the start. Dice-K was supposed to start this game, but he is suffering from flu-like symptoms. So, the BoSox will start Justin Masterson instead. What’s very strange about this game is that there are no real stats on Masterson. Yet, because he pitches for the BoSox the BetUS online wagers sort of favor him.

In any case the Angels will start Joe Saunders in this game. Saunders has been terrific for the Angels so far this season. He’s 3 and 0 with a 2.15 ERA. One of the best things about Saunders is his ability to get batters to swing at bad pitches. Although Saunders has only struck out 12 batters in four games this season, he has also only allowed 20 hits in those four games. That’s the sort of production that makes MLB betting so much fun for us online gamblers!

Let’s take a look at the BetUS MLB wagering odds.

Los Angeles Angels

Joe Saunders – L + 1 ½ - 220 - 110 O 10 ½

Boston Red Sox

Justin Masterson – R - 1 ½ + 180 - 110 U 10 ½

Last night, with John Garland on the mound, the Angels beat the Red Sox by a score of 6 to 4. The BetUS over/under online odds of 10 ½ looks legit but not because of Joe Saunders. Saunders pitches on average around 7 2/3rd innings a game. That’s excellent production.

If he can hold the Red Sox to his usual five hits, then Saunders will be well on his way to the fourth victory of his career. By analyzing the over/under baseball bet in this game, we can determine what sports book wager will most likely provide profits for us.

That would be the Angels to win this game straight-up. The BetUS online bet of Angels – 110 makes the most sense in this case. Saunders should have no trouble pitching a very good game while Masterson will struggle against the power-hitters in that Angels’ line-up.

To me the Angels at online wagering odds of – 110 is the only way to go in this one.

The BetUS MLB betting odds on the Los Angeles Angels to win their game versus the Boston Red Sox on Thursday afternoon is – 110.

I’ll have a few dollars in the BetUS online sportsbook on the Angels to win this game.
