Los Angeles has lost 13 games in a row but the most recent came at a greater cost, with Mike Trout suffering an injury in Tuesday's loss to Boston. Our MLB betting picks don't expect the banged-up Angels to challenge the Red Sox. The Los Angeles Angels were so close to snapping their 12-game losing streak on Tuesday, but the Boston Red Sox scored…

We are less than two weeks into the 2023 calendar year, but we've got bold predictions of a litany of things that will go down in Major League Baseball over the course of the next 11.5 months. Most of our predictions are about things that will happen during the 2023 MLB season, of course. A breakout rookie. An unlikely MVP. A surprise AL West…

After a slightly delayed start, Opening Day for the 2022 season is just days away. That also means you only have a few days remaining to get some final player prop bets in before the season starts. Several sportsbooks have set over/unders for some key players on the Red Sox. They've also set odds on certain players' chances to win the American…

MLB odds series for our Guardians Red Sox prediction and pick. Cal Quantrill gets the assignment for the Guardians, while Nathan Eovaldi is the starter for the Red Sox. Cal Quantrill has a 3.75 ERA, but he has been a noticeably worse pitcher on the road. He has been a lot better at home this year. He had a choppy and uneven outing against the White…

The trend of dominant pitching and well-rounded teams in MLB continued this year as the NL East went on a great run with the Phillies, Mets, and Braves all making a long streak at the end of the season. With Sandy Alcantara pitching at the rate that he was, and Max Fried and Kyle Wright both most likely making their individual Cy Young pushes this…

The Orioles have not ruled out signing a veteran free agent for the rotation, but their choices are dwindling by the day. Baltimore could acquire a top arm via trade, but it's hardly a guarantee. Fans cannot fix up the O's and Marlins on a blind date regardless of how strong a match they appear to be. It's perfectly plausible that Mike Elias and…

Believe it or not, Red Sox spring training opens in just about five weeks. The roster is not complete quite yet, but the large majority of the 2023 team has already been put together, and it looks quite different than the group that last took the field at Fenway Park in early October. Boston's chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom entered the winter…

MLB.com predicted the best Texas player in 2023 and he wasn't on the club in 2022. The Texas Rangers have made plenty of noise this offseason when it comes to starting pitching. One of those hurlers could be the team's best player in 2023, according to MLB.com. The site put together predictions on which player would be the best player for each…

The MLB offseason is winding down as we are getting closer and closer to pitchers and catchers reporting to start another full baseball season. We have seen some big moves made across the board this offseason, as playoff teams tooled up their rosters to make another series push at a title in 2023. Here are the early World Series odds with a little…

The Boston Red Sox and star third baseman Rafael Devers are finalizing an 11-year, $331 million contract, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan and Joon Lee. Devers and the BoSox agreed to a one-year, $17.5 million deal for the 2023 campaign on Tuesday to avoid arbitration. Per ESPN, Devers' 11-year deal will go into effect this year and run through the…

Business remains brisk in the starting pitching marketplace. While the Cardinals have yet to make a move to improve their rotation quality or depth, other franchises have been busy. The Texas Rangers signed Nathan Eovaldi to a two-year, $34 million contract that could become a three-year, $63 million contract if he hits all of his bonuses and…

The moment that echoed into last offseason occurred during the 2021 wild card game vs. the Yankees, an afternoon that saw baseball roar back to Boston like a time machine to 2003, or a house dropped on a witch of the wicked variety. Bobby Dalbec batted against Yankees ace Gerrit Cole and Fenway Park thundered his name. It was the moment when…

Trey Mancini has had colon cancer, left a city in which his connection to the fanbase was undeniable, headed south to Houston and won a World Series, so it is safe to say the free-agency process and a potential move north to Wrigley Field and the Chicago Cubs will not rattle the outfielder. The report on the veteran is just one at the forefront of…

With Mike Elias having proclaimed "liftoff" for the Orioles, Camden Chat writers are hoping for some impactful free agent additions to the roster. Over the next few weeks, we'll be looking through possible signings - some more realistic than others. In this, the fourth installment of "Orioles Hot Stove 2022: Go Big or Go Home," let's talk Jacob…

New York Mets vs. Washington Nationals Max Scherzer under 7.5 strikeouts ( -112) Pete Alonso to record 2+ total bases ( -105) J.D. Davis to record a hit ( -220) The Mets are on a good run as they come in with a seven-game winning streak and prepare to play the league's worse team. The Braves are proving to be the real deal, and if New York wants to…

As the 2022 edition of MLB free agency continues to unfold, the flood of big-name signings is beginning to subside. While the market didn't get off to the sort of furious start we see in sports like the NFL, once players like Aaron Judge and Jacob deGrom began inking contracts, it moved quickly. The latest development was the shocking turn of…

The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees renew their storied rivalry Friday at 1:05 p.m. ET at Yankee Stadium. Let's analyze Tipico Sportsbook's lines around the Red Sox vs. Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions. Season series: The Red Sox took 10 of 19 games in 2021 and outscored New York 75-74.

Boston is fresh off a pair of games versus the Reds this week. The Red Sox…

Nine down, one to go. The 2022 free-agent signing period has been fast and furious. When Carlos Correa signed with the Giants earlier this week, he was the eighth of my top 10 free agents to sign. That breakneck pace hasn't slowed. On Thursday night, Carlos Rodón and the Yankees agreed to a six-year, $162 million contract, as Jon Heyman first…

While the calendar still may read April, the heat of this highly anticipated matchup feels like a middle of July contest with playoff implications on the line, as the Toronto Blue Jays will battle it out with their AL East adversaries in the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. Check out our MLB odds series, where our Blue Jays-Red Sox prediction and pick…

And then there was one. Dansby Swanson is the final, high-profile shortstop remaining in this year's free-agency period following the San Francisco Giants' signing of Carlos Correa Wednesday night to a 13-year, $350 million deal. Which franchises have their eyes on the young star, hoping to improve their squads and win a World Series ring? Which…

The Boston Red Sox open up the 2022 regular season with high expectations.The team overachieved a year ago and surprised many by making it all the way to the American League Championship Series. The signing of Trevor Story this offseason only raises expectations higher. Let's preview the Boston Red Sox season and consider the projected lineup, the…

GOODYEAR, Ariz. - It's a small club no pitcher ever wants to be associated with, but Tejay Antone has done his best to maintain a positive mindset. Antone, the Reds' top reliever last season, became a member of the two-time Tommy John surgery club last August. As much as Tommy John surgeries - reconstructing the ulnar collateral ligament in an…

For the first time in a number of years, the Orioles are in an offseason where they might actually sign a notable free agent, instead of the last several years of, well, you know. The starting rotation is the area with the most obvious need, though plenty of fans have already talked themselves into the O's signing one of the "big four" shortstops…

The Boston Red Sox (6-12) and New York Yankees (7-9) conclude their quickie two-game American League East series, and the Red Sox struggles continue. They were pounded in Tuesday's game by an 8-0 score, slipping to a dismal 3-9 on the road, as they remain mired in last place in the AL East. The Yankees aren't much better, as they improved to just…

In our MLB betting picks and predictions for Red Sox vs. Blue Jays, we break down why Toronto should have the edge in the pitching matchup between Nathan Eovaldi and Jose Berrios - and why it should ultimately lead to a series-opening victory. The Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays will meet for the second time this evening on Monday night. These…

Carlos Rodon has 27 wins and a 2.66 ERA over the last two seasons. He was an All-Star the past two seasons and finished in the top 6 in Cy Young voting, last season with the Giants and with the White Sox the year prior. Now he's a free agent, and there isn't a brighter pitcher on the market right now than the 30-year-old Rodon. Bookies.com…

After waiting until a month after the World Series for the winter meetings to get the ball rolling, Major League Baseball's free-agent spending spree has been something of a runaway freight train. There have already been 30 free agents who signed contracts with an average salary of at least $10 million. And, no, we're not just talking about the New…

Major League Baseball's August 2 trade deadline is still a long way off. But the past two months of action have set the table enough for us to throw down some bold predictions regarding what type of chaos awaits in two months. Just so we're clear from the outset: We're aiming for bold but realistic predictions. I'm not here to make up some…

SAN DIEGO - By now, it's pretty clear how much Mets owner Steve Cohen cares about the "Steve Cohen tax." Because he's operating as if he doesn't. He's blowing by it. After the re-signing of Brandon Nimmo and the addition of veteran reliever David Robertson on Thursday, FanGraphs projects the Mets' payroll for $322 million. So, yeah, that final…

Welcome to playoff baseball, where the "best" team wins the championship far less often than in other sports. To wit: According to Baseball Prospectus odds, no team in the 2021 playoff field has better than a 20 percent chance to win the World Series. With eight deserving teams ready to do battle, let's dive into the reasons each particular team…

The Phillies host the Rockies after dropping two games to the Brewers. Luckily for the Phillies, they don't have to travel anywhere, while the Rockies have to travel from Detroit to Philadelphia without an off day. The Rockies have gotten off to a hot start; however, they are far more successful at home than on the road. They did take two of three…

Look for your mobile phone to light up with news updates this week as the Winter Meetings unfold in San Diego. The Toronto Blue Jays are going to be front and centre, as they look to upgrade their roster and take advantage of a closing competitive window led by star players like Bo Bichette, Vlad Guerrero, and Alek Manoah. Bichette will be a free…

Little more than 14 months ago, before the final home game of the Orioles' disastrous 2021 season, executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias offered a direct assessment of how the organization would approach the offseason. "We're going to be very cognizant of who we are and where we are," Elias said then, "and I do think that the time…

We swept again! Another perfect 2-0 day to bring our record in June to 6-1. We have won five straight bets, and as I said a few days ago, I'm feeling the tides turning. We took the Nationals as an underdog yesterday, and they finally broke out of their offensive funk by putting up eight runs against the Reds. The game ended 8-5; we should have…

A couple weeks ago 30 SB Nation baseball writers got together and conducted the annual SBN GM Simulation. For three days we acted as the GM of a team - I represented the Red Sox once more - with one goal: prepare the 2023 roster. Each GM is given a roster of current players as of the end of the season, so any move the real teams made during the…

One final homestand, six final games. The Toronto Blue Jays are playing meaningful September baseball, and they have an opportunity to earn more. On Tuesday morning the Blue Jays sit at 87-69, in fourth place in the American League East and a game behind the Boston Red Sox for the AL's final playoff spot. The AL Wildcard standings sit as…

Years ago, before John Middleton became the face of the Phillies' ownership group, Jimmy Rollins equated him with George Steinbrenner. It's a comparison that Middleton never minded. Because the late Yankees owner was notoriously obsessed with winning, a trait that is admirable to a former college wrestler-turned-billionaire baseball owner. And like…

We went 2-2 yesterday, which put us down 0.6 units on the day. We haven't had very many losing days lately, but it happens every so often. I think I had the right plays; they didn't go our way. The Giants lost to the Nationals on a travel day, and Madison Bumgarner shut down a Cardinals offense on the road even though the numbers told us otherwise.…

J.D. Martinez, Michael Wacha, Nathan Eovaldi, Matt Strahm and Rich Hill became free agents at 9 a.m. Sunday. A vital Red Sox offseason has started. Xander Bogaerts and Tommy Pham are expected to join them in free agency soon. Bogaerts has until Tuesday to opt out of the remaining three years, $60 million left on his contract. He's expected to do…

We are one game into the 2022 season, and while Opening Day certainly did not go the way we were all hoping here at OTM, it is still a very long year and one game does not a season make. You needn't look very far for an example of this being true, either, as the Red Sox started their 2021 campaign with three straight losses to the lowly Orioles. We…

ARE YOU KIDDING ME TY FRANCE?? We were a Ty France game-tying single away from a perfect 2-0 day, but we ended 1-0 with a push on the Angels vs. Mariners under. We needed a bounce-back day like that, but I'm not satisfied. Today, I have three more MLB Best Bets to keep us in the green. Let's have a Saturday. Nathan Eovaldi (RHP, Red Sox) [5-3, 4.11…

The New York Yankees did not get off to a good start against the Boston Red Sox last season, losing the first seven games between the bitter rivals -- including all three at Yankee Stadium in their initial series. New York won the final six matchups but finished with a 9-10 record in the season series and proceeded to suffer a 6-2 loss in the…

The Boston Red Sox will visit the Houston Astros in the second game of their series in the American League West versus American League East from Minute Maid Park Park on Tuesday night.

The Boston Red Sox will try to force a deciding Game 7 when they square off against the Houston Astros in Game 6 of the 2021 ALCS on Friday at Minute Maid Park in Houston. Once up 2-1 in the series, the Red Sox have dropped the last two games to put them on the brink of elimination. On Friday Nathan Eovaldi (1-1, 10.50 ERA), who grew up in the…

The New York Yankees (62-27) host the Boston Red Sox (47-43) on Friday night in their last series before the All-Star break. New York currently has the best record in the majors and sits in first place in the AL East standings. On the other side, Boston currently owns one of the AL Wild Card spots. Nathan Eovaldi (4-2, 3.16 ERA) is on the mound for…

The Baltimore Orioles continue a five-game set at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, the first game of an MLB doubleheader. The sizzling Red Sox offense got off to a fast start in Friday night's series opener. Boston had a six-run lead entering the seventh inning, but the bullpen allowed 10 runs in the final three to lose 12-8. The…

MLB free agency officially started the day after the World Series was over, but now it's really started. Teams can start negotiating with external free agents, players have received qualifying offers, and options have been exercised or declined. A crucial offseason is ahead for both the Mets and Yankees, and now we get to see what they'll actually…
