MLB Betting News and Notes - Week #10
•Marlins A Great Bet In Interleague Play: The Miami Marlins host the Tampa Bay Rays at Marlins Park Monday and are entering the game on fire against the American League. The Fish are 8-0 in their last eight interleague ball games. Miami has been dynamite at home all season long, owning the top home record in Major League Baseball. The Rays have struggled mightily this season and are in the basement of the American League East. Chris Archer takes the mound for the Rays while Henderson Alvarez gets the start for the Marlins.
•Over A Hot Bet When Indians Face Red Sox: The Cleveland Indians host the Boston Red Sox in the opener of a three-game series Monday and Over bettors will be looking for their recent trends to continue as the two clubs meet for the first time in 2014. The clubs went 6-0-1 Over/Under in their seven meetings last seasons and have a record of 7-0-1 O/U dating back to their last meeting of 2012. Monday's scheduled starters are John Lackey for the BoSox and Justin Masterson for the Indians. They met last season in an 8-1 Red Sox triumph with a closing total of 9, finishing as a push.
•Yankees' Phelps Lights Out At Home: A pitcher's duel could be on its way to The Bronx when the New York Yankees face off against the Minnesota Twins Monday evening. David Phelps (1-2, 3.38 ERA) takes the mound for the Yanks while Felix Hernandez (7-1, 2.57 ERA) gets the call for the Mariners. In Phelps' last nine starts at Yankees stadium, the Yankees are 8-1. They'll need all the pitching help they can get against Hernandez, one of the top pitchers in the game.
•Buehrle Grabs 10th Win As Jays Top Royals: At the start of every baseball season, you can count on a few things from Mark Buehrle. His win total will be in double-digits and he will log more than 200 innings and he will do it all in a hurry. For the past 13 seasons, it has been automatic. But even Buehrle, the master of consistency could not have predicted that in this, his 14th big-league season, he would reach double-digits in wins on June 1, with still four months left in the season. We know he likes to work fast, but this is ridiculous.
In his 12th start of the 2014 season, Buehrle racked up his Major League Baseball-leading 10th win Sunday afternoon at the Rogers Centre, a 4-0 thing of simple beauty over the Kansas City Royals to earn a split of the four-game series. He worked eight innings, allowed six hits, walked one and, with help from his defense, did not allow a base-runner to reach third. In only one inning did he allow more than one runner to reach base. And he did it all in 134 minutes.
