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.
