Betting with Bodog

Bodog Sportsbook
The trade deadline is fast approaching, meaning baseball bets can be destroyed by a single trade of a quality position player.  While the chances of such an occurrence is minimal, it might be good to stay away from teams with potential trade bait until the deadline passes.  With that said, it’s time to analyze the day’s baseball odds, and we look to Bodog sportsbook for the goods.

Bodog  internet sportsbook offers overnight lines for your viewing pleasure.  The big baseball pitching matchup for Monday is Ben Sheets and Brandon Webb.  Yes, the teams are pathetic, but this is a perfect time to take the under, even the baseball handicappers will likely set the line at negative 5.   The money line is also enticing for the D-backs, at +140.  Don’t fall for it.  The NL West is a minor league division, with minor league skills and lineups made of gingerbread men.   Sheets will tear through these players like a knife through warm butter.  At the same time, do you honestly want to bet on the Brew crew?  The under looks better and better.

As for props, like a black moon Bodog  sportsbook always has them in full.  The most intriguing of which is the individual player matchups, such as “more hits + runs, Derek Lee vs. Albert Pujols”. 

On the future front, because there is a future in fronting, the Nationals have plummeted down to 13 to 1 sport odds, effectively giving them “please bet on them, we know they have no chance of winning” status.  Meanwhile, the line on the Cardinals shrinks by the second, now at an appallingly miniscule 7 to 2.  Compare that to the baseball team that swept them last year, the Boston Red Sox, who are getting to 6 to 1, nearly twice the odds.  Who do we like?  Well, I’ll tell you who we don’t like, the A’s and Braves, two teams that do well in the regular season but fail come postseason time.  18 to 1 and 12 to 1 are very attractive, but we ain’t stupid.  The Marlins, who likely won’t make the playoffs, are a better bet at 25 to 1.  At least if they make the postseason, they have a chance of going all the way.  Another baseball longshot is the San Francisco Giants, who are one Barry Bonds comeback from winning the NL West.  At 150 to 1, worth putting ten bucks on.

Bodog internet sportsbook is one of the top sportsbooks online, and it’s no surprise that Bodog has baseball betting props, lines, and odds galore to satisfy your MLB betting appetite, All-Star or otherwise. 

Bodog Baseball Props
First, we will dive into the Bodog baseball team props.  The first baseball team to score option is an interesting gamble, considering the American League will bat last.  The starting baseball pitchers will decide this, and with Tony “I pick my own guys” LaRussa choosing Carpenter over aces Dontrelle Willis and Roger Clemens, the Nationals will definitely be vulnerable.  On the other hand, Mark Buehrle does not ooze confidence in us either.  The verdict?  Stay away.  However, this increases the chances of a run being scored in the first inning, which is at a nice -110.   Baseball team to score last is another matter altogether.  The AL bats last, and the baseball odds are in their favor.  At -115 for both teams, the edge is with the American League. 

Total Hits+Runs+Errors is at -130 for the over, Even for the Under.  Which is odd, considering most sportsbooks have the over at -105 for the total.  Coincidentally, Bodog has the line at -110 for both the over and the under. 

Bodog online sportsbook allows you to bet baseball any way you want, and the HR derby is no exception.  Match up individuals against each other, bet the first round, or simply take a winner.  A nice betting matchup is Andruw Jones at +110 versus David Ortiz for home runs in the first round.  The ball carries to left in Comerica, at least that’s what Ivan Rodriguez claims.

Other interesting baseball props offered by Bodog sportsbook include, baseball player to hit first home run in the baseball game, baseball player to hit most home runs in the first round of the derby, and margin of victory for the MLB All-Star game.

As for the game, Bodog sportsbook is clearly not as sour on the American League as everyone else.  They give the money line a -131 for the Americans, +121 for the Nationals, and the run line is at +155 to -175, respectively.  If you are looking to take the National League, Bodog sportsbook is the place to bet baseball.
