Unfair MLB blackout rules keep Vegas baseball bettors in the dark


Apr 07, 2015


It’s no secret that Major League Baseball is my favorite sport to watch and wager on. I’d say 75 percent of my wagers over the year are on baseball. The long season with lots of games goes a long way toward that.


Las Vegas is home to the biggest and baddest places in America to wager on sports. Las Vegas is also, by far, the best place to watch just about every sport. Except my favorite sport - baseball.


Whether I’m at home or at the sports book, it’s impossible to watch every baseball game being played on a given day. Even though Las Vegas doesn’t have a MLB team, it’s considered to be a home market for way too many different teams. Those teams including the Arizona Diamondbacks, Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Angels, Oakland A’s, San Francisco Giants, San Diego Padres. This means that on any given day there may be six games not shown in on TV (cable or satellite) or MLB.TV or in the sportsbook.


Angels and Padres games are shown on local TV (Fox Sports West and Cox 96, respectively) regularly so it’s possible (and likely) to find many of their games on TV in and out of the book. Sometimes the Diamondbacks are show locally on Cox 96 as well. Trying to watch a game with one of the other teams isn’t so easy when they’re blacked out. You’ll have to wait for the rare, but increasing, occasion where they are the national game of the day or night on ESPN or Fox.


It’s more likely you’ll have to watch one of these teams in one of the tiny boxes of a DirecTv multi-box scoreboard or on a gamecast on your mobile phone. Last season, I watched way too many games via gamecast on my mobile phone while in a casino. In casinos that had wifi, I'd even bring my earbuds and listen to a game on the MLB app. Thankfully, I can multi-task by watching other games or playing video poker at the sportsbook bar while I keep track of one of these teams on my phone.


The cries for Major League Baseball to lift the blackouts in Las Vegas grow louder every year but the league hasn’t budged. Blackouts were created to encourage people to buy a ticket to watch the games in person. As technology continues to get better, this rule will likely change. In the meantime, MLB is negotiating very lucrative television rights deals, so the blackouts aren't going anywhere yet.


I’ve done my share of complaining about the Major League Baseball blackout rules in Las Vegas and will continue to do so on my personal time. I’m used to it by now but it still makes me cranky.


The purpose of this article isn't to complain but to make you aware of the MLB blackout rules the next time you visit the sportsbook and don’t see a game from the Padres, Dodgers, Angels, Rockies, Giants or A’s on one of the TV screens.

MLB roundup: Braves thump Marlins

MIAMI -- Atlanta Braves left-hander Alex Wood said his team's lengthy top of the first inning threw him off a bit when it was his turn to take the mound.

However, since the Braves scored seven runs in their half of the inning, Wood said he really didn't mind at all.

"That wasn't what I was expecting -- 40 or 45 minutes before I threw my first pitch," Wood said after Atlanta cruised past the Miami Marlins 12-2 Tuesday night at Marlins Park. "I got an AB (at-bat) before I threw my first pitch.

"But anytime they want to do that, I'm definitely all right with it."

First baseman Freddie Freeman and shortstop Andrelton Simmons each went 3-for-5 with two RBIs to lead Atlanta. Third baseman Chris Johnson also added two hits and two RBIs.

Right-handed starter Mat Latos, who made his Marlins debut, lasted just two-thirds of an inning, allowing six hits, two walks, one wild pitch and seven runs, all earned.

Mariners 2, Angels 0

SEATTLE -- Los Angeles left-hander C.J. Wilson kept Seattle's rebuilt lineup in check, while third baseman David Freese provided all the offense in the Angels' win at Safeco Field.

Wilson, pitching in an official game for the first time since being unable to make it through the first inning of his only postseason outing in October, held the Mariners to two hits over eight scoreless innings to give the Angels their first win of the season.

Wilson gave up a one-out single in the third inning before retiring the next 14 batters he faced. Closer Huston Street came on in the ninth and retired the side to earn his first save of the season.

Diamondbacks 7, Giants 6

PHOENIX -- Third baseman Jake Lamb and left fielder David Peralta hit three-run home runs to help Arizona right-hander Rubby De La Rosa win his shaky debut over San Francisco at Salt River Fields.

Peralta's homer gave the Diamondbacks a 4-2 lead in the third inning, and Lamb's homer off right-hander Ryan Vogelsong in the fifth inning broke a tie at 4. It was the first homer of the year for each.

De La Rosa gave up eight hits and six runs in 5 1/3 innings for his first NL victory since 2011, when he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was obtained from Boston in the offseason.

Rangers 3, Athletics 1

OAKLAND -- Right-hander Colby Lewis pitched six strong innings, first baseman Prince Fielder drove in two runs and Texas won at O.co Coliseum.

Lewis continued his history of strong performances against the A's. Entering the game, Lewis was 8-4 with a 3.23 ERA for his career against Oakland. He was 6-3 with a 3.05 ERA in Oakland.

The Rangers avenged an 8-0 loss on Opening Day to Oakland.

Fielder went 2-for-3 and reached base in the first inning when he was hit by a pitch. Center fielder Leonys Martin and shortstop Elvis Andrus each had two hits.

Orioles 6, Rays 5

ST. PETERSBURG -- Steve Pearce went 2-for-4 with a home run to lift Baltimore past Tampa Bay at Tropicana Field.

Pearce has five home runs in his last 11 games against the Rays at Tropicana Field.

Orioles reliever Kevin Gausman gave up two runs in 2 1/3 innings to earn the win. Zach Britton pitched a perfect ninth for the save.

Rays starter Nathan Karns gave up six runs, five hits and four walks in 5 2/3 innings.

Rockies 5, Brewers 2

MILWAUKEE -- Right-hander Jordan Lyles worked six innings of two-run ball, and Colorado hit six doubles for the second consecutive day en route to the victory over Milwaukee at Miller Park.

Lyles (1-0) held the Brewers to five hits with a walk while striking out two. Three Colorado relievers threw one scoreless inning apiece, with LaTroy Hawkins earning his first save.

The Rockies' offense picked up where they left off Monday, belting out 12 hits. Catcher Nick Hundley accounted for three hits, while third baseman Nolan Arenado, second baseman DJ LeMahieu and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki finished with two apiece.

Cardinals-Cubs, postponed

CHICAGO -- The threat of rain and sub-freezing wind chills forced postponement of Tuesday's game at Wrigley Field.

The extra day between games might have been a blessing to help the Cubs resolve facilities issues that arose during Sunday's Opening Night.

Fan discomfort and limited restroom facilities resulting from Wrigley Field construction were exacerbated by breakdowns in two other restrooms during the game that caused extremely long lines and waits of up to 45 minutes. Some fans ended up using beer cups to relieve themselves.

A makeup date for Tuesday's postponement was not announced.

Road dogs perfect on the diamond Tuesday night

In just the second full day of the major league schedule road underdogs came to play, going a perfect 5-0 on Tuesday night.

Atlanta +125 at Miami, Colorado +110 at Milwaukee, Texas +143 at Oakland, the Los Angeles Angels +105 at Seattle and San Diego+138 at the Los Angeles Dodgers all came through for backers.

It is still early, but so far road dogs have been the best bet in baseball, cashing 64.7 percent of the time.

With a full slate of games Wednesday there will be another 11 road dogs in action to try and keep up the trend.


Wind, rain in the forecast at Kauffman Wednesday

According to weather forecasts, Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium could be in store for windy and rainy conditions when the Royals host the Chicago White Sox Wednesday.

Forecasts are calling for a 60 percent possibility of rain by game time with a 40-to-50 percent chance of rain throughout the evening. Furthermore, wind will blow out to left field at 14 miles per hour.


Pitchers wind at Wrigley Field Wednesday

There will be a 10 mile per hour pitchers wind gusting in from right field for Wednesday afternoon's meeting between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs.

The run total for the game is currently at 7.0 with right-hander Lance Lynn getting the call for the Cardinals (-110), while the Cubs counter with righty Jake Arrieta.

There is also a 25 percent of rain around gametime.


Chance of rain, thunderstorms at Comerica Park

There is a 58 percent chance of rain and a chance of thunderstorms for Wednesday's matinee between the Minnesota Twins and the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.

There will also be a seven mile per hour wind blowing out to right field at game time.

The Tigers are currently -200 home favorites with right-hander Anibal Sanchez expected to take the mound, while the Twins counter with righty Rick Nolasco.

MLB's top under ump calling balls and strikes in Detroit Wednesday

Major League Baseball's top under umpire over the last couple of seasons, Kerwin Danley, will be calling balls and strikes for Wednesday's matinee between the Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers.

The under is a remarkable 39-10-3 in the last 52 games Danley has been behind home plate, including going 20-6 in 2014.

The total for today's game in Detroit is currently at 8.0 runs. Ricky Nolasco (15-10-2 O/U in 27 starts in 2014) takes the mound for the Twins, while Detroit sends Anibal Sanchez (11-8-2 O/U in 21 starts in 2014) to the hill.


Threat of rain at Yankee Stadium Wednesday

There is a possible threat of rain at Yankee Stadium as forecasts are calling for a 40 percent chance of showers during the game between the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays Wednesday.

There is a small 10 percent chance of rain in the early stages of the game, but that will increase as the game plays out.

Wednesday's Tip Sheet


April 8, 2015


Celtics at Pistons – 7:05 PM EST


The best race down the stretch besides the Southwest Division involves the five teams looking to grab the final two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference. Boston begins Wednesday’s action hanging onto the eighth position in the East with five games remaining, while holding a half-game lead over Miami and one-game advantage over Indiana. The Celtics have won three of their past four contests, while coming off a huge 117-116 overtime victory on Saturday for their fourth consecutive road triumph.


The Pistons are basically in the role of a spoiler down the stretch with a disappointing 30-47 record as Stan Van Gundy’s squad continues a four-game homestand. Detroit rallied past Miami on Saturday, 99-98 to snap a two-game skid, while capturing its fifth consecutive win at the Palace of Auburn Hills, all as an underdog. The Pistons have quietly become one of the best ATS team to close the season, covering nine of the last 12 games, but was listed as a favorite only once in this span (in win at Orlando on March 27).


VegasInsider.com NBA expert Tony Mejia says the Pistons still have something to play for even if they don’t make the postseason, “Coming off a thrilling comeback win over Miami, they’re home for games against the Celtics, Pacers and Hornets this week, allowing them to play a huge role in the Eastern Conference postseason race. Greg Monroe returns for the third and final meeting against the Celtics, who Detroit has split with thus far. I wouldn’t advise getting caught up in the fallacy that Boston has all the motivation here. Stan Van Gundy undoubtedly has his guys believing that their season isn’t over just yet.”


Cavaliers at Bucks – 8:05 PM EST


Cleveland is sneaking closer to a Central Division title, owning a four-game advantage over Chicago with five games remaining. The Cavs go for their fourth straight victory after sweeping their recent three-game homestand, capped off by a huge 99-94 triumph over the Bulls, but Chicago cashed as eight-point underdogs. Cleveland’s defense has stepped up by limiting seven of its past eight opponents to 94 points or less, but the ‘under’ has cashed only four times in this stretch.


The Bucks are on the verge of returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2013, as Milwaukee can wrap up a berth with a victory plus losses by Boston and Indiana. Jason Kidd’s team squandered a 12-point lead in Saturday’s 97-90 home setback to Orlando as nine-point favorites, one night after pulling off an impressive road victory at Boston. The Bucks have dropped two of three meetings with the Cavaliers, including a 108-90 defeat at BMO Harris Center on March 22, as Cleveland outscored Milwaukee, 64-37 in the second half.


Pelicans at Grizzlies – 8:05 PM EST


New Orleans jumped Oklahoma City for the eighth playoff spot in the Western Conference after rallying past Golden State last night, 103-100. Couple that victory with the Thunder getting blown out at home by the Spurs and the Pelicans lead Oklahoma City by one half-game for eighth with five games remaining. In Tuesday’s triumph over the Warriors, New Orleans erased a 14-point deficit, led by Anthony Davis’ 29 points and 10 rebounds, as the Pelicans avoided the four-game sweep to Golden State. The Pelicans have won five of their past six, while grabbing two of three matchups with Memphis this season.


Memphis finishes up a four-game homestand before heading west for three contests on Friday at Utah. The Grizzlies won the first two games against the Kings and Thunder before falling to the Wizards last Saturday, 92-83 as 7 ½-point favorites, as Washington led from start to finish. In four of the last six contests, the Grizzlies have been limited to 89 points or less, while cashing the ‘under’ in five consecutive trips to the court. Memphis and New Orleans are used to playing low-scoring battles, hitting the ‘under’ in eight of the previous 10 matchups, including the last five at FedEx Forum.


Rockets at Spurs – 8:35 PM EST


San Antonio is the hottest team in the league right now, riding an eight-game winning streak following last night’s 113-88 blasting of the Thunder as six-point road favorites. The Spurs jumped out to a 19-point lead after one quarter and never looked back as Kawhi Leonard paced the defending champions with 26 points. Gregg Popovich’s club trails the Rockets by 1 ½ games for the Southwest Division lead heading into this crucial home-and-home set with Houston, as San Antonio could potentially leap from sixth to second in the West when the playoffs begin next weekend.


The Rockets extended their winning streak to three after holding off the Thunder on Sunday in a 115-112 victory. In spite of the offense blowing up for the third straight game, Mejia believes Houston won’t play run-and-gun the next two matchups against San Antonio, “That late three-point flurry on Sunday afternoon in Oklahoma City pushed Houston’s last game ‘over’ the total, but with Dwight Howard back as the last line of defense, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Rockets really tighten the screws. Nine of their last 16 games have gone ‘under’, so with back-to-back huge games scheduled with the Spurs, look for them to really make it a point to lock up in San Antonio.”


Kevin McHale’s team has stepped it up on the road of late, winning six of the last seven away from the Toyota Center, which includes victories over the Mavericks, Wizards, and Clippers. Houston has had San Antonio’s number recently, capturing six of the last seven matchups, including a 2-1 record in its previous three trips to San Antonio. The Rockets whipped the Spurs in their first meeting in Houston in November, 98-81, but San Antonio picked up revenge in late December, beating the Rockets, 110-106 as 1 ½-point favorites.

Under bettors loving Grizzlies' current form

The Memphis Grizzlies have been on a hot run for Under bettors of late, going 0-5 Over/Under in their last five basketball games heading into Wednesday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Grizzlies are presently the sixth best Under bet in the league with a record of 32-43-2 season to date. The Grizz and Pelicans have played three times already this season and the O/U count is 2-1.

Oddsmakers have tabbed this matchup with the lowest total on Wednesday's board at 186.


Slumping offense has Suns cashing under tickets

The Phoenix Suns are still struggling to score and it has led to them cashing under tickets at a high rate, going 14-2 in their last 16 games.

Phoenix was humiliated by the Atlanta Hawks 96-69 Tuesday night. It was the eighth time in the last 14 games where the Suns scored 87 points or fewer and are averaging just 86 points per game over that span.

Spurs continue to roll, cover eighth straight game

The San Antonio Spurs continue to roll, crushing the Oklahoma City Thunder 113-88 as 6-point road favorites for their eighth win and cover in a row.

The Spurs not surprisingly are doing what they always do, playing their best basketball leading up to the playoffs and bettors have been the benefactor. In addition to being 8-0 ATS in their last seven games the Spurs are 17-4 ATS in their last 21 games overall.

San Antonio is right back at it Wednesday night as they try for nine in a row when they visit the Rockets in Houston. The Spurs are currently favored by 5.5-points.


Heat still struggling to cover down the stretch

The Miami Heat managed to pull out a 105-100 win over the Charlotte Hornets Tuesday night, but failed to cover the spread once again.

The Heat, who were 6.5-point favorites last night, have been a team to fade down the stretch, failing to cover in five straight and in eight of their last 10. Miami is near the bottom of the ATS standing at 33-41-4.

Miami will try to end the skid Thursday when they host the Chicago Bulls.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Houston Rockets at San Antonio Spurs (-5.5, 208.5)

The San Antonio Spurs are racking up victories and will face another hot team in the visiting Houston Rockets in Wednesday’s opener of a back-to-back between the two teams. San Antonio pounded Oklahoma City on Tuesday for its eighth straight victory and 18th in the past 21 games.

Houston has won 10 of its past 12 games and sits in second place in the Western Conference by one game over the Memphis Grizzlies. Even before San Antonio dismantled the Thunder for the second time in 14 days, Rockets coach Kevin McHale was wary of the Spurs. “They’re a good team playing very well right now,” McHale told reporters. “They’re the defending champions and they’re healthy and on a roll. It will be a great test for us, especially in San Antonio.” The Spurs have won by an average of 20.9 points during their eight-game winning streak, have also won 19 of their last 21 home games and are just 1 1/2 games behind the Rockets in the West race.

Howard was 10-of-15 from the field and grabbed eight rebounds and is no longer looking tentative on the floor. “I feel pretty good,” Howard told reporters. “I got a little winded in the fourth quarter and it’s to be expected. I got to continue to look and continue to run and just get better in that area.”

ABOUT THE SPURS (52-26 SU, 40-36-2 ATS, 36-42 O/U): Small forward Kawhi Leonard matched his career high of 26 points Tuesday for the second straight game and he has scored 20 or more points in five of the past six contests. “Our offense is just rolling,” Leonard said in a postgame interview on TNT. “Turning the defense into offense, and guys on the team are looking for me and I’m just knocking them down.” Leonard is averaging 21.5 points, three steals and shooting 63.4 percent from the field over the past six games.
