Interleague competition is on the MLB wagering board again with the battle in Florida as the Florida Marlins confront the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Rays will be liked in baseball betting at home in the starter of a three-game series on Friday.

Both the Tampa Bay Rays and the Florida Marlins go into Friday’s Interleague series above .500 for the 2nd time in 11 years, and in division contention of their individual leagues.

MLB wagering odds like the Rays on Friday with James Shields on the mound. Shields is 5-4 having a 3.64 ERA this year. He is supposed to get the start on Friday and be opposed by Florida’s Nate Robertson who’s 4-5 on the season having a 4.83 ERA. Robertson didn’t pitch well last time out while he allowed 6 runs in a loss to the Mets. He has not pitched well versus Tampa Bay in his career as he’s -4 having a 4.76 ERA. He is -2 in his career at Tropicana Field having a 4.63 ERA.

Past time out versus Texas, Shields lost his fourth game of the season. He allowed 6 runs but only 3 of them were earned. Shields is 2-1 with a 4.12 ERA in 6 career starts versus the Florida Marlins. With a 26-16 record and a 3.44 ERA, Shields has been very great at home in his career.

The Rays have really done fine versus the Florida Marlins in MLB wagering. They have won eight of the last ten matches versus Florida. Last year the Rays took five of the 6 matches versus the Florida Marlins including all 3 in Tampa Bay. 2 of these 3 matches went under the total.

On the road, Florida has not really competed that well this season. They basically don’t hit as well on the road and their pitching isn’t as great. Florida has the skill to win matches on the road but so far this season they have performed poorly. They are only average in hitting, rating 14th in the league plus they are no better in pitching at 16th in the league.

Tampa Bay has in fact been better on the road this year than at home. The Rays still have a winning record at home however in baseball betting. In the hitting and in earned run average, the Tampa Bay Rays are in the Top five in the league. That’s why they have the best record in the league. The Rays have a lineup full of skill, and they have among the best starting rotations in the league.

An all-Florida competition drew minimal attention in previous years beyond the 2 local markets. But the series might commence to heat up with 2 of the Major’s youngest, skillful teams facing off.

Rays manager Joe Maddonstated that anyone was attempting to turn this into a rivalry.”They’ve been better than we have in the past. They’ve already run their flag up. As we get better, I think at some point, where both teams are playing at a high level, I think you can grow it into one of those.”

The opening rotation for this afternoon’s match is going to be Ervin Santana for the Los Angeles Angels who’s 6-3 with an ERA of 3.29 with 70 Ks and 24 Walks and for the Oakland Athletics it’ll be Trevor Cahill who’s 4-2 with and ERA of 3.21 with 26 Ks and 18 Walks. Santana seems to pitch his best against the Oakland Athletics and is aiming for 6th start and 4 back to back while away. Cahill will try to bounce back from his first loss in some time in opposition.

Will this afternoon’s MLB Wagering lines or MLB Odds be impacted by these stats?

Looking to win his sixth straight start and 4th back to back on the road, Santana hopes to follow a strong showing from Joe Saunders with another gem as the Los Angeles Angels try to take their four-game road set from the Oakland Athletics on Thursday.

Braden is 2-4 with a 4.61 ERA in seven starts against the Los Angeles Angels, including 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA this year. Braden allowed 4 runs in his first start after the perfect match May 14, in eight innings of a 4- loss at Los Angeles to become the first pitcher to follow a perfect match with a total match since Cleveland’s Len Barker in 1981.

With the A’s at 1 game behind the division 1st Rangers and ½ back of 2nd place Angels, both the Athletics and the Los Angeles Angels are going to try to obtain the win today. This division is really a mix of teams aiming for the number one spot lacking any one team truly excelling in the win column. This typically turns up in the MLB Betting lines and MLB Odds on such games.

Much like his club in general, Santana has pitched fine on the road recently, going 3- with a .90 ERA ever since the May loss in Seattle.

The Los Angeles Angels are practically tied at 17-16 this 2010 season in the away games, while the As are and strong 20 -13 while playing on their home lineup. With that said, it looks that this is still a close match, but it looks that both have a 45-55 % opportunity for winning this matchup. Will the MLB Wagering lines or MLB probabilities for this match be negatively impacted by this?

The Washington Nationals already seem like a club that will improve versus the MLB odds.

Now that they’ll have number one draft pick Bryce Harper, they look even better now. He could be affecting MLB lines within a few years, and he’s practically as hyped as Stephen Strasburg.

MLB odds still don’t like the Nationals very much but that is beginning to change. Strasburg is a big part of the Nationals future versus the MLB odds as he was the number 1 pick last year. Now the Nationals have added Harper to the mix. He’s considered among the best players to arrive from high school in a long time. He is only 17 years old but practically anyone is forecasting big things for the Nationals number one pick. Since 1980 there were 6 players who’ve been drafted as an outfielder at 18 years or even younger. Harper contributes his name to an extraordinary list. The New York Mets took Darryl Strawberry in 1980 and Shawn Abner in 1984. The Mariners took Ken Griffey Jr. in 1987 and the Rays took Josh Hamilton in 1999 and Delmon Young in 2003.

The Nationals are already considering Harper as a number three hitter with exceptional power and a formidable outfield arm. Harper hit .443 with 31 homers and 98 RBIs in his initial college season. He was behind the plate in college but the Nationals are relocating him the outfield where he can influence MLB odds. Harper competed in the College of Southern Nevada which is a Junior College. He’s now the biggest draft pick ever from a junior college.

The 2nd pick in the draft went to the Pirates and they decided on Texas high school right-handed pitcher Jameson Taillon. He was deemed the most impressive pitcher in the draft. The franchise has not had a Cy Young Award-winner since Doug Drabek, another Texas native. They can hope that they’ll have the another one in Taillon, 18. The Baltimore Orioles picked 3rd and took Florida high school shortstop Manny Machado. Machado has the opportunity to become the next superb shortstop in Baltimore, and be the next among a lineage that includes Miguel Tejada and, of course, Cal Ripken Jr. The Royals picked 4th and took Cal State Fullerton shortstop Christian Colon and he could be the most Major League ready player who could influence MLB lines first. The Kansas City Royals intend for him and two previous first-round picks – high school 3rd baseman Mike Moustakas and high school first baseman Eric Hosmer – to all arrive about the same time and create the infield that will help turn the long-suffering franchise around. Cleveland was next and they took Mississippi left-hander Drew Pomeranz. With any luck Pomeranz’ encounter with Cleveland will be nicer than Stephen Head’s.

The Nationals would like to put Harper in the field quickly but it may not be that simple. His manager is supposed to be Scott Boras and that may mean problems if the Nationals don’t want to pay big money. Boras got Strasburg a four-year, $15.1 million deal last year. Harper has stated he would like to play but he is not against heading back to Southern Nevada if required.

The Angels are expected to present the ball to Joel Pineiro on Friday. He is 4-6 this season with a 5.26 ERA. Pineiro permitted 3 runs last time out in the 1st inning vs Seattle but permitted just one run the remainder of the way. He gave up 9 hits and 3 walks while striking out 5. He is 2- with a 3.38 ERA in 3 career starts vs the dodgers.

Pineiro began his career being a pitcher for the Seattle Mariners, the Red Sox and the St Louis Cardinals. He signed with the LA Angels of Anaheim in January of this year.

Billingsley permitted 3 runs to the Atlanta Braves last Saturday. Billingsley has been pitching pretty well of late as he has not granted more than 3 runs since early May. Billingsley still needs to progress his home ERA as it is 4.66 compared to 2.78 on the road.

Since his career started in 2006, Billingsley has been playing with the LA Dodgers. He has turned into among the National League’s top pitchers.

The Angels and Dodgers have shared their last 10 games. Last June in Anaheim was the last time they met. The Dodgers won two of those 3 games and two of the games went over the total. They last played in LA over a year ago when the Angels took two of 3. The home lineup advantage has not meant much in this series because the teams are just miles apart.

Pitching hasn’t been an issue vs the Angels, but the la dodgers have lost 5 of their last 8 home games vs their crosstown rivals in spite of a 3.40 ERA.

The Angels are starting to look like the squad that has owned the Al West in recent years. They still have some problems but no one in that division looks to be that powerful. The Angels are unquestionably capable of winning in LA, since they have in fact been almost as good on the road as at home. The Angels are in second place in the American League West, however they cooled off the last several days, sharing a four-game road series vs the Athletics.

The Dodgers have been more effective at home this year than on the road. LA has had a lot of good fortune with Dodgers Stadium this season. Because of their home record, the la dodgers are right back in the National League West race. The Dodgers have also improved their team ERA and Billingsley is a huge part of that improvement. The Dodgers are still one of the better offensive teams as they rank in the top 10 in the league in runs scored. Formidable play on a 13-game homestand has moved the LA Dodgers into 1st place in their division with the best record in the NL.

The Minnesota Twins are preferred in MLB wagering on Thursday when they host the Royals in the finale of a three-game series.

The Minnesota Twins shoot for their 7th consecutive win at home and a three-game sweep of the AL Central competitor Royals tonight in the series finale from Target Field.

The game in baseball wagering is supposed to feature Bruce Chen going for the Royals against Minnesota’s Scott Baker.

Scott Baker has fared fine at Target Field. He’s always pitched fine against the Royals irrespective of the location. Baker permitted 4 runs over 7 1-3 innings in a 5-4, 11-inning win at Oakland on Friday.

More often than not in their new home the Twins are preferred by MLB wagering probabilities. Target Field has been great to the Twins as so far the Twins have been only as great at their new lineup when they were in the Metrodome. Scott Baker is supposed to get the start on Thursday. He’s 5-4 on the season with a 4.52 ERA. He went 7 1/3 innings previous time out against Oakland and gave up 4 runs on 6 hits and had three strikeouts. He gave up only two runs and seven hits the previous time he pitched against Kansas City. Baker has been far better at home this year than on the road. His road ERA is 5.66 whereas his road ERA is 3.49 ERA.

Twins DH Jason Kubel is 4 for 7 with three RBIs in this series and rookie third baseman Danny Valencia is 4 for 8.

Chen is 2- on the season with a 2.95 ERA. He has been playing in place of the wounded Gil Meche and doing quite well. He’s 1- with 3.00 ERA in his two starts. Last time out he went 5 innings and permitted only two earned runs on 4 hits. The experienced left-hander has done 10 relief appearances to go with his lone career start against the Twins in 2004. He has a 5.75 ERA against Minnesota.

Through the years, Kansas City have not had loads of success against Minnesota vs the MLB wagering probabilities. Before this series started they had lost 15 of the previous 20 against the Twins. The teams played two series in April, one in Minnesota and one in Kansas City. Of the 6 matches, the Twins won 4. 5 of those 6 matches went over the total in MLB wagering.

In baseball wagering, the Royals have not been pretty great at home or on the road. Since their prices are higher on the road, they in fact have a little more value there. The Royals have lost 8 out of 11 overall and 4 consecutive on the road. It is hard to take The Kansas City Royals, in spite of their big prices, since they are below average in hitting and in pitching.

Minnesota continues to be pretty great at home and only .500 on the road. That would be great enough though to win the AL Central. The Twins pitching has been reliable, rating in the top 10 in the league, though they are around average in hitting.

Opening Pitchers for tonight’s matchup are Kenshin Kawakami for the Braves who is -8 with an ERA of 4.91 with 36 Ks and 18 Walks and for the Arizona Diamondbacks it is Ian Kennedy who is 3-3 with an ERA 3.46 with 65 Ks and 25 Walks. Kawakami is longing for his first victory tonight. Can these stats influence the MLB Betting lines and MLB Probabilities on tonight’s game?

The Arizona Diamondbacks are feeling better about themselves after winning 4 of the first six matches on their 10-game homestand. They just worked out a deal with the Detroit Tigers to get Dontrelle Willis, a 2 time All-Star and past Rookie of the Year. He paid off speedily for the team when he didn’t give up a run in over six innings versus Colorado in a game last Saturday.

Arizona will need a good start from Willis because Atlanta will have Tommy Hanson on the mound. He has an extraordinary record, even against Arizona. On May 15 he gave up 5 runs over 7 innings and struck out 10 of the Arizona Diamondbacks before the Braves won 11-1. He struck out six Dodgers and led the Braves to a 9-3 win on Saturday versus Los Angeles.

The Atlanta Braves have secured the last five matches of the 7 they’ve played the Arizona Diamondbacks. What’s incredible is that the Braves have utilized Kawakami in the opening rotation with his unpredictability. On Monday the Braves lost the series opener to the Arizona Diamondbacks meaning they have lost 3 of their last 4 matches played. Tonight proceeds the series.

At home the Arizona Diamondbacks hope to continue winning as they did by winning 3 of 4 from the Rockies just last weekend and considering they are in last place in the NL West and want to go up from there! Look into the MLB Betting lines and MLB Probabilities on tonight’s matchup!

The Braves are only 14-19 while playing away and on the road, while the Arizona Diamondbacks are an even 14-4 this 2010 season at home. With that said, it looks that the Arizona Diamondbacks have a 55 % chance of winning this matchup. Will the MLB Betting lines or MLB probabilities for the game be negatively affected by this?

The Atlanta Braves and the Arizona Diamondbacks Numbers:

The Atlanta Braves are: 34-25 SU

The Arizona Diamondbacks are: 23-36 SU

The Atlanta Braves recently:

While playing Wednesday’s they are 5-5

Before they played the Arizona Diamondbacks they were 3-7

After they played the Arizona Diamondbacks they are 5-5

The National League East is presented in Thursday MLB betting when the Phillies host the Florida Marlins in a game which can be viewed on the MLB Network.

It’s the last game of a seven-game homestand for the Philadelphia Phillies, and the finale of a 3-game series in baseball betting.

MLB betting odds prefer the Philadelphia Phillies in this game, mainly considering they are at home. The pitching matchup might end up favoring Florida. Anibal Sancehz is planned to go on Thursday for Florida. He is 5-3 for the season with a 3.18 ERA. Sanchez was moving along until his last start vs the Mets when he allowed 4 runs in five 2/3 innings. He’d won his 4 previous starts.

The Florida Marlins have held their own recently vs the Philadelphia Phillies in MLB betting. They had won 11 of the last 20 vs Philadelphia before this series began. They got two of 3 at Philadelphia earlier this season. The Philadelphia Phillies are one of those teams in baseball that can play just as nicely on the road as at home so they can be overestimated at home. Before this series began, the last five meetings between the two teams had gone below the total.

The Marlins have been up and down this season and it can be difficult to guess what they are going to do on a nightly basis. They certainly play better at home than on the road but it is not a substantial difference. The Florida Marlins are only average in hitting and in ERA. They have the opportunity to be great though with players like Hanley Ramirez hitting the ball and Josh Johnson pitching. Even Sanchez has shown the ability to be very great.

Philadelphia has been far better at home this season than for the road, but not by a lot. The Philadelphia Phillies have strangely struggled to score runs. They have a strong lineup but Jimmy Rollins has been out of the lineup for a lot of the season and his lack has damaged the Philadelphia Phillies. The Philadelphia Phillies have received good pitching as they are in the top five in the league. Jamie Moyer has been reliable for the most part this season, and it may be him gaining the start in this game.

The Phillies’ Roy Halladay pitched a perfect game a few weeks once more vs the Florida Marlins, throwing the 20th perfect game in the majors. Halladay already has a Cy Young Award and also six All-Star game choices to his credit. He threw just the eighth perfect game in the National League’s history, and just the second for the Phillies. He struck out 11 of the Marlins’ players and showed up the Marlins’ pitcher, Josh Johnson, along the way. Later Johnson stated that it was unreal how Halladay goes about his business. “No messing around, no joking around. He’s there for one reason.” That game went 1-0 for the Philadelphia Phillies.

Wednesday night’s game was delayed due to rain and is going to be compensated for on Monday, September 6, when the Philadelphia Phillies and the Florida Marlins play a double header.

2 intense opponents in the American League East who get plenty of action versus the baseball lines are handling injuries.

The New York Yankees only started their centerfielder, Curtis Granderson, while the Red Sox put outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury back again on the disabled list. The Red Sox have competed significantly better recently plus they are a factor once again versus the baseball odds.

Granderson has competed for the Yankees since December of last year, when he was traded from the Detroit Tigers in trade for Phil Coke and Austin Jackson. He competed in the 2009 All Star Game.

The Yankees and the Red Sox are regularly favored in baseball lines. Boston was in sad shape a couple of weeks ago but they have competed significantly better of late even with their trauma issues. Ellsbury has played in only 9 games this season. Dustin Pedroia, the Red Sox star second baseman, has competed through his trauma. He twisted his right knee on May 15th and since that time he has not hit well. Before the trauma he was hitting almost .300. Ever since he got hurt he is hitting below .200.

Pedroia has gained numerous awards, including AL Rookie of the Year for 2007, and he has been voted into the AL All-Star squad.

The Yankees have had injury issues of their own that have affected their baseball odds. New York got centerfielder Curtis Granderson back recently and he should certainly help their lineup. He had been out since early May with a groin injury. With his return, Brett Gardner can move back to left lineup and Nick Swisher to DH. Nick Johnson, the Yankees’ normal DH, went on the DL and it has been a rotating situation at designated hitter ever since.

The Yankees are still very good offensively as they rank #1 in the league. As Granderson is a player who can get on base, steal bases and hit for average, getting him back into the lineup will help. He is similar in some respects to Boston’s Jacoby Ellsbury who is out. The Red Sox have missed Ellsbury in their order this season. Boston has picked it up lately offensively but they still need Ellsbury in their lineup as he does many of the same things that Granderson does for the Yankees.

Ellsbury has been out almost totally since April 11, wound up with hairline fractures to four of his ribs when he crashed into Red Sox third baseman Adrian Beltre. He came back on May 22 but was put back on leave on May 28 when a doctor decided that his ribs needed more time to heal.

During the prolonged baseball season, injuries are always a concern for teams. While the Yankees and Red Sox have survived without important players it is certainly more tough. {New York and Boston were expected to battle all season for the American League East championship but thus far this season it has been Tampa Bay who has stolen the show.|Thus far this season it has been Tampa Bay who has stolen the show, although New York and Boston were expected to battle all season for the American League East title.
