The weekend is finally here, which means the scheduled baseball slate this Saturday is filled with highly anticipated matchups from all around the league. With more oxygen and plenty of sun to account for out on the West Coast, the Detroit Tigers will continue their road trip in balmy Los Angeles as they square off with the Dodgers at Dodger…

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…

The Los Angeles Angels signed Brett Phillips to be the Opening Day fourth outfielder. Whether that'll end up being a good signing or not remains to be seen, but it does tell us one thing. Jo Adell and Mickey Moniak will almost certainly barring injury not be on the Opening Day roster. This could mean one of two things. Either one or both of them…

MLB.com writer Will Leitch used his crystal ball to predict the next ten World Series champions. It's a very strange list comprised of ten different World Series winners. It's a list that could bring some laughs and tears of joy to Los Angeles Angels fans. In 2023 he has the Dodgers somehow winning the World Series defeating the Blue Jays. The same…

In the past 10 years, the Dodgers have made it to the World Series three different times, but fell short of bringing home the trophy. This 2023 season could very well be the year for Los Angeles to win it all. Dodger fans sure think so, and so does MLB analyst Will Leitch. MLB.com put out an article predicting the next 10 World Series winners, and…

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres will meet in the rubber match of this three-game series at Petco Park on Sunday.

The Padres led 1-0 heading into the third inning when Jake…

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies will begin their four-game series with a Thursday night matchup at Coors Field. With that said, it's a good time to check out our MLB odds series, which includes our Dodgers-Rockies prediction and pick we have laid out below. Los Angeles now owns baseball's best record with the Yankees' current…

After a decade of unprecedented regular-season dominance, but all too familiar playoff disappointment that continued Saturday night with their elimination in the National League Division Series, the Dodgers find themselves in a familiar place entering this offseason. Trying to sustain the success that included winning a franchise-record 111 games…

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 Toronto Blue Jays have been destroying opposing pitchers of late, and they'll get some help from their mound as well in pushing tonight's total. We're (naturally) fading Yusei Kikuchi against the Tigers - get your best MLB bets for tonight's matchup. The Toronto Blue Jays' seven-game winning streak came to end last night, but they'll look to…

All four division series are in action on a loaded Saturday MLB slate. We've highlighted the odds, movements, and our MLB best bets for Saturday. The Philadelphia Phillies satisfied their starving fans during the team's first home playoff game since 2011 on Friday, and the San Diego Padres did the same in their first home postseason contest in…

With MLB free agency winding down, the league is beginning to take shape. Some teams have drastically improved their chances of competing in 2023 based on swift offseason moves. The New York Mets just pulled off a stunner to land Carlos Correa after the shortstop had previously agreed to a deal with the San Francisco Giants. Other teams such as the…

While the Dodgers took Game 1 against their cross-town foes, their bats remain ice cold, leaving the door open for the Angels to win as significant underdogs. However, our best bet leans on the Dodgers' starting arm. Read more in our MLB picks below. The battle for L.A. began Tuesday when the Dodgers nabbed a 2-0 victory over the Angels. Game 2 is…

As a Cleveland native growing up with the 1990s Indians, I got to watch a lineup that had Jim Thome, Manny Ramirez, Kenny Lofton, Roberto Alomar, Carlos Baerga, David Justice, Albert Belle, Sandy Alomar and many other great hitters. It's no wonder I became such a huge baseball fan. I saw something special every day. The Los Angeles Dodgers have the…

Friday's MLB slate is loaded with 15 games, with the most notable series taking place at Fenway Park between the Red Sox and Yankees. Elsewhere in the big leagues, the Phillies travel to Busch Stadium to face the Cardinals in an important three-game set for wild card and divisional purposes. While neither of those series presents the best betting…

The Los Angeles Dodgers are hoping J.D. Martinez can add some pop to their lineup in 2023. Per ESPN's Jeff Passan, Martinez has agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal with the reigning National League West champs. Despite being connected to many of the top free agents this offseason, the Dodgers have been fairly quiet when it comes to actually…

We're a third of the way through the 2022 MLB regular season, and offense has slowly but steadily improved league-wide just in time for summer. We have a decent sample size of games and data with which to work, so now seems like a good time to analyze the futures betting odds for AL pennant, NL pennant, and World Series winners. Let's dive right…

With the All-Star break approaching, now's a good time to check back in on World Series futures odds. Given the nature of baseball, it's anyone's game come playoff time. We've seen teams with relatively mediocre odds entering the playoffs win the Commissioner's Trophy in two of the past three seasons (Atlanta in 2021, Washington in'19). Below,…

San Diego Padres vs Los Angeles Dodgers 8/7/2022 Picks Predictions Previews The San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers will battle in Game 3 of their series installment at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday evening.

The Dodgers reached an agreement Wednesday with free-agent pitcher Noah Syndergaard on a one-year contract, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation who weren't authorized to speak publicly. The deal will pay Syndergaard $13 million guaranteed and includes another $1.5 million in performance bonuses. The deal should fill out the…

Now at the risk of getting swept by the NL-best Dodgers, our MLB betting picks are fading them once more.

There were 11 different players who received a contract of $100 million or more in free agency last offseason, led by Corey Seager who signed a 10-year, $325 million deal with the Texas Rangers. That list will likely be shorter this offseason, but there are still a number of high-profile players set to hit the open market, including New York…

The Colorado Rockies are 15-4 over their last 19 games including a current run of 7-1 over their last eight games. The competition level ramps up this week with the Houston Astros in town for a two-game series starting on Tuesday night. Colorado is a+140 home underdog at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Tyler Anderson gets the start for the…

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 top two teams in the AL Central collide on Wednesday when the Minnesota Twins host the Cleveland Guardians in the second game of a three-game series at Target Field. The Twins (38-31) and Guardians (35-28) enter the game tied atop the division, with the Guardians mere percentage points ahead. Minnesota is a -160 favorite in the latest Twins vs.…

While the San Diego Padres may have transformed their team and World Series aspirations with a stellar trade deadline, but the Los Angeles Dodgers are still on the verge of a sweep after winning the first two games of this series by a combined score of 16-4. Yu Darvish hopes to salvage a win for San Diego after throwing a quality start in nine of…

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…

The initial ZiPS projections for the 2023 season predict the Los Angeles Dodgers will finish atop the National League west with a 91-71 record, but fall behind the Atlanta Braves for the No. 1 seed in Major League Baseball. The analytical model takes into account player projections and playing time, then generates a million versions of each team…

MLB odds series for our Dodgers Diamondbacks prediction and pick. Tyler Anderson goes to the hill for the Dodgers, while Zach Davies gets the ball for the Diamondbacks. Tyler Anderson has a 3.30 ERA. He has given up more than two runs in only one of his eight starts. That was a six-inning, seven-run game against the Phillies on May 12. Take away…

Thirty-three mostly uneventful days have passed on the Major League Baseball calendar since Ryan Pressly induced a Nick Castellanos popup to end the 2022 World Series. But as the baseball world descended on San Diego for the winter meetings this week, the transactions arrived in a flurry. So let's take stock of the first month of the offseason with…

The MLB free-agency and trade market dominoes have continued to fall at a dizzying pace since the lockout was lifted as teams try to fit three months' worth of offseason activity into just a few weeks. Despite all of the activity, high-profile stars Carlos Correa and Trevor Story are both still searching for a new home as Opening Day fast…

So far, it has been a pretty quiet Winter Meetings for the Dodgers - at least, when it comes to retaining or brining in new players. They've still only signed Shelby Miller and officially announced Clayton Kershaw's re-signing, but they've lost some free agents along the way. Trea Turner on Monday signed an 11-year, $300 million deal with the…

Welcome to the 2022 post-season. The Royals aren't playing, though, so it's time to start thinking about next year. Last week I did some positing on what the state of the major league position players might be. Obviously, this week it's time to talk about the pitching. Brady Singer Daniel Lynch Kris Bubic Tyler Anderson Jake Odorizzi Yes, I'm…

The Major League Baseball season was shortened to 60 games from 162 in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it still felt like an eternity for the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates started 4-17 under first-year manager Derek Shelton and finished with the worst record in the major leagues at 19-41. That extrapolates to 51-111 in a normal year.…

First place is on the line out in the wild, wild, west as the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers will square off on the diamond at Dodger Stadium. Join us for our MLB odds series, where our Padres-Dodgers prediction and pick will be unveiled for all to see. After getting bested by the Dodgers in game one and two of this divisional series, the…

Putting the Justin Verlander and Trea Turner contracts into perspective Justin Verlander signed a two-year deal with the Mets worth $86 milion, while Trea Turner signed an 11-year deal worth $300 million. Any way you cut it, it's a lot of money: Cody Bellinger is a free agent. Though it's unlikely, he could still return to Dodgers The Dodgers had…

The Pittsburgh Pirates (23-42) and Washington Nationals (28-35) continue a three-game series at Nationals Park Tuesday with a 7:05 p.m. ET first pitch.

The young, upstart Cleveland Guardians defied all odds and made it to the MLB American League Division Series against the veteran New York Yankees. The Yankees defeated Cleveland in the deciding Game 5, October 18, at Yankee Stadium. Scoring three runs in the first inning on a three-run homer by Giancarlo Stanton, the Guardians could never catch…

From 2013 through 2020, the National League West belonged to the Dodgers. Sure, there were scares -- they even had to play a Game 163 once -- but they took the crown every single time. It's easy to forget that last season the Giants actually won the division, despite the Dodgers winning 106 games. Right now, the Dodgers are again toward the top,…

Last year's star-studded free-agent shortstop class is followed by another one, possibly even better than the previous. This one includes four of the top-10 players in fWAR among shortstops, including Dansby Swanson, who ranked second (6.4). Swanson is one of the best defensive shortstops in the game, ranking second in defensive runs above average.…

We gave out one pick, and it lost yesterday. I was confident the Giants bats would get to one of the worst pitchers in baseball, but instead, he shut them down. On top of that, the Reds ended up winning the game. While we have not had a good week, I'm very optimistic about today's slate. I see a lot of value on some road teams today, so let's kick…

We swept the board yesterday! We needed a day like that, but we have to have a short memory because of course we are back again today with two MLB Best Bets. We took two underdogs and the Reds as a heavy favorite and came out on top. The Reds won easily as did the Diamondbacks, but the Guardians gave us the sweep on a late inning come back on the…

The Los Angeles Angels have made three big moves this offseason, acquiring three players to fill three big holes they had. Tyler Anderson is a guy they can plug at the top of their rotation. Hunter Renfroe is the corner outfielder this team was lacking. Gio Urshela provides much-needed infield depth. They shouldn't be done adding, but I think most…

The series finale between the Los Angeles Dodgers (36-20) and the Chicago White Sox (26-28) takes place on Thursday afternoon. These teams alternated wins and losses in the first two matchups of the series, and on Wednesday, the Dodgers topped the White Sox 4-1. Tyler Anderson (7-0, 2.59 ERA) is starting for Los Angeles, while Dylan Cease (4-2,…

Let's start with this: It's hard to imagine Justin Verlander signing with a team that doesn't have an obvious opportunity to compete for a World Series title in 2023 and 2024. He's won Cy Young awards; he picked up his third on after his stellar 1.75 ERA in 2022. He's even won an MVP award. He's won two World Series titles now, but I can tell you…

Long balls, big flys, blasts, and bombs. That's what we're talking about here; the most exciting plays in baseball.

Each bet requires a $5 minimum, but the longest parlay gets an additional $50000 in free bets…

It is time to check out our MLB odds series, where our Dodgers-Cardinals prediction and pick will be unveiled. Winners in 12 of their previous 14 ballgames, the Dodgers are beginning to hit…

It is decreed in the ancient scrolls. Despite employing two of the greatest ballplayers in history, the Angels cannot finish higher than.500. It's an immutable law of baseball physics that cannot be bent or broken, but that won't stop the club from trying. Early in the offseason, they've been the most active MLB team, signing Tyler Anderson and…

Japanese pitcher Kodai Senga is a free agent and is looking for a big market team in win-now mode that is really into analytics. As the host of a show about a team that really, really fits that bill, Jeff is here to talk about how Senga would fit in with the Dodgers. He also talks about some predictions former MLB GM Jim Bowden made in an article…

Days are getting hotter, and drinks are getting colder as summer baseball heats up. With all 30 teams on the diamond today, we like a certain Blue Jays' hitter to keep crushing and a pair of pitchers to keep hitters guessing in our MLB player prop picks. It's a classic getaway day in MLB and with all 30 teams in action, there are player props to…
