MLB Notes


As we head in to the final weekend of the first half of the MLB season we take a quick look at some of the pleasant surprises and disappointments of the baseball season. Clearly, the Tampa Bay Rays have been the biggest surprise, sitting on top of the AL East with a 55-37 record and that's even after their current 5 game losing streak. Two other pleasant surprises have been from the American League West where Oakland is 50-42 and Texas is 49-45. Also surprising are the Florida Marlins who are 48-44, only 2 games back in the NL East. Finally who would have thought that the entire NL West would be below .500 this late in the season and San Fran, Colorado and San Diego are more than 15 games under .500.

Now we'll take a quick look at some handicapping betting numbers for you.

The Oakland A's, San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners all have gone UNDER 8 of the last 10.

The Ny Yankees, Chicago WSox, Philadelphia Phillies, Arizona Diamondbacks and Washington Nationals all have gone UNDER 7 of the last 10.

Baltimore has gone OVER 4 of 5
St. Louis has gone UNDER in 5 straight
