The Braves put up a good fight for half the season but things have deteriorated rapidly for a team that’s in a rebuild mode. Atlanta was at .500 two months ago, but dropped 31 of 43 games since then and are now battling to stay out of the basement in the NL East.The Yankees have an opportunity to possibly gain ground in the AL East and send their top prospect Luis Severino to the bump....
The White Sox had a chance to unload some assets and build for the future, but they elected to stand pat with the hope of making a playoff push. Finishing a stretch of games against teams with a losing record hasn’t helped them and in typical White Sox fashion, they continue to spin their wheels....
Noah Syndergaard enjoys pitching at Citi Field and the Mets appreciate his miniscule numbers. The rookie righty goes for his sixth straight win on his home mound when the Mets host the Red Sox in the final of a three-game set. New York put up impressive offensive numbers on a recent road trip, cashing the over eight times on the nine-game trip....
The Mets improved on their poor road record, going 8-1 on a just completed road trip by winning the final seven. New York is 18-6 since Aug. 1, helping them pull away from the Nationals in the NL East race. Boston’s Joe Kelly is in a groove winning his last five starts, salvaging his sorry season....
The Los Angeles Dodgers played much better ball at the back end of their eight-game road trip than they did on the front end of it, which has to give bettors some confidence going into Sunday Night Baseball against the Chicago Cubs....
The Braves are in a free fall, losing nine of their last 10 and at 54-73, have proven to be a poor bet with a cumulative moneyline of -$1,051. The Yankees, meanwhile, aren’t exactly playing their best ball, either, but are a much more respectable 69-57 having won $52 against the moneyline....
The Mets continue to separate themselves in the NL East and now sit six and a half games up of the Nationals with a 70-56 record. New York continues to be a great bet in August and has a cumulative $1,288 moneyline on the year. Their weekend opponents, the Red Sox, sit at the bottom of the AL East and are just 58-69 with a -$1,633 moneyline....
The Amazin’s are continuing to streak away.The New York Mets are up to 70-56, but they know if they want to win the NL East this year, they’re going to need to put aside teams like the 58-69 Boston Red Sox whom they will face on Saturday....
The last time the Cardinals were in San Francisco they lost three straight games and dropped the 2014 NLCS in five games to the Giants.They look for better results this time, though the stakes aren’t as high, when the teams open a three-game weekend series....
Kansas City owns the best record in the American League and is the most profitable team in baseball after their beatdown of the Orioles on Tuesday, their eighth straight win over the Orioles, which includes a sweep in last year’s ALCS. Barring a major collapse, the Kansas City Royals are on their way to their first division title since 1985....
When the Astros and Yankees meet, low-scoring games tend to follow. The teams finish off a three-game set Wednesday after playing below the scoreline for the 12th time in the last 14 meetings with New York’s 1-0 win on Monday....
Very quietly, the Arizona Diamondbacks are back at .500 at 61-61, and they could be back in this playoff mix before too much longer.The St. Louis Cardinals enter Monday's game in the desert at 77-45, but their 31-26 road record leaves much to be desired....
The Diamondbacks have been hot over the past four weeks, getting themselves back into the playoff picture in the National League. They look to continue that momentum against the MLB’s best club. It will be a challenge for the D-backs, who’ve lost seven of their last 10 to the Cardinals at Chase Field....
The Giants look to finish off their road trip through the NL Central’s top teams with a win when they take on the Pirates on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball. Pittsburgh hasn’t lost a game with Francisco Liriano on the mound since June 20 and he silenced the Giants earlier this year in a win in San Francisco....
The Dodgers send MVP and Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw to the hill Sunday to finish off a three-game set with the Astros. Los Angeles has struggled away from Dodger Stadium and the road has been unkind to Kershaw as well, who has just a 3-4 record in away games while the Dodgers are 5-8 in games started by him....
The top teams in the American League wild card race square off when Toronto visits the Angels in the second of a three-game set.The Blue Jays haven’t won a series from Los Angeles since 2011, going 11-19 in the eight sets since....

The Mets young pitching staff will get tested in their only visit to Colorado this season. The Rockies lead the National League in hitting and runs scored in games played at Coors Field while cashing the over 33 times through their first 59 games there. New York handled the Rockies rather easily in a four-game sweep last week, giving up just five runs total in the series....
Atlanta’s offense has been as non-existent as wins recently on the road. The Braves enter the series with the Cubs having won just two of their last 18 games away from Turner Field averaging a measly 2.4 runs during that stretch with cashing the under 11 times....
The Dodgers and Astros hold leads in the NL and AL West respectively, but each has a challenge just a couple games back. Despite the similarities, one has been far friendlier toward bettors as the 65-55 Astros have a cumulative moneyline of $466 compared to the Dodgers, who are 67-52 and have a moneyline of -$1,079....
When we look back at the end of the season and analyze who did and did not get into the playoffs, we're going to be looking really closely at these games between teams like the 70-47 Pittsburgh Pirates and the 65-54 San Francisco Giants....
Keep a particularly close eye on the weather at Wrigley Field on Sunday.The way the 67-49 Chicago Cubs are hitting the ball and the way fact that the best hitter on the 53-66 Atlanta Braves is making his way back into the lineup could make this a screwy game for live bettors....
