Betting the MLB 2nd half

Roughly 54% of the 2009 MLB season is behind us, as we witness the All-Star break, and look for good betting tips and advice for the future. This is definitely the place as I will break down the best and worst of the first half, and take a glimpse into what the future will hold for bettors alike as we anticipate the second half of an already great MLB season.

Betting the MLB Run-lines:
If you can find the right teams to play on, this could very easily be a lucrative investment while betting MLB for the remainder of the season. A glimpse of the good, bad and the ugly in betting MLB run-lines: San Fran sits as the MLB's top run-line team so far in 2009. The Giants are 52-35 playing the spread in every game this season. That is actually better than their 49-39 SU record by 3 games. San Fran is in a pretty weak division with the padres, and D-Backs. They win a lot of ballgames by 2+ runs, and as dogs either win outright or lose by just a run. Keep an eye on them the rest of the way, as they will only get better as the season progresses. Pittsburgh is a surprising close second at 50-38 on the run-line. The Angels are not too shabby either at 48-38.
The league's worst are Atlanta of all teams. Usually the Braves lose close games, but at the same time they win close games as well. Being favored often does not help this team's run-line backers as they are 35-53 betting the run-line in 2009. They are followed by the Indians(36-53) and of course the Nationals(37-50) as t...

Aftermath's Platinum MLB

For the next 90 days I will hopefully get the forum some solid winners. Enough winners for those following to build a huge bankroll for the upcoming football season. I am looking at 200 units in the next 90 days just in MLB action. Laugh at it, play it, or just ignore it. Consider this an early x-mas present to this forum. All I would like in return is some positivity, whether this turns out over or under the predicted amount. They aren't just picks as I will always have a write-up to go along with it most of the time.   Let's have some fun.   6/3/09 JUNE 3,2009

$500 Angels/Jays UNDER 9
This game will likely cruise to the under. Last night these teams went over and considering the fact that they have played the under 13 of the last 17, it should make for a great call tonight. Weaver faces Janssen. Weaver has yet to face the Jays in Toronto, but at home he has made a name for himself vs. this club. Toronto has averaged about 3 runs per game when Weaver starts. Janssen is on the verge of making a name for himself after some quality outputs this year. He has allowed 3 ERs in each of his 2 starts with both being 6 innings and 7 innings respectively. In his career he has failed to allow a run to the Angels just yet. In 2 outings back in 2006, he pitched over 15 innings of scoreless baseball. I suspect he will get it done tonight in a 3-1 final. ... [More]
