MLB Online Baseball Betting Picks - Detroit vs. N.Y Yankees
By D.S Williamson
Man, this is going to be a good old-fashioned online betting barn burner, right? BetUS MLB betting fans had better take a close look at this game as the Detroit Tigers are going for the sweep on Thursday night against the New York Yankees. The Tigers haven’t swept the Yankees in forty-two years. That’s a long time. They probably won’t break the forty-two year streak on Thursday night as they send Nate Robinson to the mound. Robinson is 0 and 3 on the season with an ERA of 6.91. He’s downright awful from an online sportsbook wagering point-of-view. The guy doesn’t have what it takes.
Then again, the Yankees aren’t starting their ace either. Did I write the Tigers wouldn’t break the forty-two year old streak? Maybe, I shouldn’t have written that. As bad as Nate Robinson has been for Detroit this season, Ian Kennedy has been worse for the New York Yankees. Kennedy’s ERA is downright ghastly at 8.53. Kennedy is also 0 and 2 on the season.
Here are the BetUS online betting odds for this game:
Detroit Tigers
Nate Robinson – L + 1 ½ - 175 Ev O 10 ½ Ev
New York Yankees
Ian Kennedy – R - 1 ½ + 155 - 120 U 10 ½ - 120
The obvious play with these two pitchers on the mound is the BetUS over/under at 10 ½ runs. But Alexander Rodriguez, better known as A-Rod, is on the 15 day disabled list.
That means that A-Rod won’t play. That means that the Yankees might not score as many runs as they usually do. The BetUS over/under looks like an iffy online wagering proposition at best. At worst it looks like it might take away our money.
We can’t very well bet Ian Kennedy at – 1 ½ runs + 155 in this thing, can we? Kennedy has that horrible ERA. Giving up even a half a run could cost us.
The only real wager in this game is on Detroit to end the forty-two game streak and beat the Yankees straight-up at even betting odds.
The BetUS MLB betting line on the Detroit Tigers to win their game straight-up versus the New York Yankees on Thursday night is even money.
That’s the only real online wager that makes sense in this game.
