We are just two weeks into the season, but we have seen plenty of excitement on the season. This weekend is set to have some excellent series’s in both the National League and the American League. We are ready to give you a few of our favorite picks for the games on Thursday April 14th, 2011:

Minnesota @ Tampa Bay (-130)

Both teams have gotten off to a slow start. The Rays have heated up a bit, especially on the offensive side. Scott Shields will go against Carl Pavano in this one. Look for the Rays to be pleased to be back at home, and once a again put runs on the board. We are betting on the Tampa Bay Rays to beat the Minnesota Twins at home in this game.

Florida (+125) @ Atlanta

The National League East foes will get together in Dixie. Last night, Josh Johnson went after a no-hitter, but was cut  a bit short. The Marlins once again will have the better starting pitcher in this game. Ricky Nolasco will throw another gem, and keep Atlanta’s offense in some struggles. We are betting the Florida Marlins to beat the Atlanta Braves in this game.

San Diego/Houston under 8.5

Two teams at the bottom of their respective divisions will get together in Houston. The San Diego Padres are in a tie with Arizona in the basement of the NL West. Houston has struggled; including two of their last three to the Chicago Cubs. The Astros sit in last place in the NL Central. Dustin Moseley will look to pick up his first win for the Padres. He will go against youngster Bud Norris. We really like both teams to have a tough time scoring, despite the fact that both teams are going with young pitchers. These offensives aren’t very good. We are betting the under here!

St. Louis @ Los Angeles over 6.5

The St. Louis Cardinals will start a four game series in Los Angeles on Thursday night. Jaime Garcia and Hiroki Kuroda will get together. These two pitchers have gotten off to great starts, neither team has recorded a loss. The Cardinals offense has heated up, and their bullpen isn’t very good. That’s a good combination for several runs tonight.  6.5 isn’t very many! We like the over!

Good luck with all your Major League Baseball bets. We are excited to see our domination, and bring you more next week!

Let’s give this Major League Baseball stuff a try. We are very excited for the season, and expect to see some competitive divisions, and some great baseball. There is a full slate of games for Tuesday night. Here are our favorite bets for Tuesday April 5th, 2011:

San Diego +114 over San Francisco

The Giants have struggled to start the season. I really like Aaron Harang as the fourth starting pitcher. A lot less pressure. He will pitch well, and the Padres will stay fundamental. In a low scoring game, look for the Padres to come away with the win. San Diego can really nail it down with their late innings pitchers.

Los Angeles Angels/ Tampa Bay Rays over 7.5 -120

Don’t be scared of Weaver throwing for the Angels. He won’t pitch as well as opening day. Tampa Bay has to start scoring at some point; they have just three runs in three games. Someone will need to get that offense jumpstarted, or they will have no chance in the AL East. Happens tonight, a bunch of runs in a win.

New York/Philadelphia over 8 -105

Chris Young and Cole Hamels. Look for this game to go to the bullpen, and be a mess, like most Phillies/Mets bullpen games are. Philadelphia has yet to lose this season, while the Mets have won two in a row. Look for the offenses to get things going on a nice East coast night.

Houston Astros +145 over Cincinnati Reds

J.A. Happ is going to get off to a quick start. The Astros will find a way to get their first win. Cincinnati has out scored opponents 23-11 on the season and lead the National League Central. The Reds are looking for their second straight NL Central title. No late game heroics in this one for the cardiac Reds.

Atlanta Braves/Milwaukee Brewers over 8 -105

Another game, where two good pitchers get together, but once again I pick the over. I just like the offenses going against the bullpens late in this one. Derek Lowe had a great ending to last year and started this season strong too. Look for him to get roughed up early a bit. This has the makings of a 5-4 Milwaukee win. St. Louis -137 over Pittsburgh Albert Pujols is 2 for his first 17 at bats. The offense has to get going for St. Louis to have any chance. Under new management, the Pirates have played hard thus far. Not a great pitching match-up, and calm weather in St. Louis. Look for a bunch of runs. Cardinals roll in this one.

Good luck with all your Major League Baseball picks. We can’t wait to check in on our success later in the week, and provide some more free picks!

Thank goodness! Major League Baseball is here – and here to stay! Opening Day is over, now let’s get to the full slate of games. What an opening weekend of baseball. There are some great games on schedule, so let’s talk about our best bets for Major League Baseball games for Saturday April 2nd.

Chicago White Sox/Cleveland Indians over 8.5

These two teams piled on 25 runs in the season opening. So naturally you would think the next game would be a pitcher’s duel, right? Wrong. Edwin Jackson and Carlos Carrasco have alot of pressure on them as the #2 pitchers. Neither pitcher is ready to take the #2 spot in the rotation. Cleveland is a nice ball park to score runs in. Look for the White Sox to once again put up big numbers on offense and this game sails over. Bet the over 8.5 in White Sox/Indians game!

San Diego Padres @ St. Louis Cardinals -148

The Cardinals cannot lose two games in a row, at home to San Diego can they? After blowing a lead late in the game, the Cardinals news got worse, losing Matt Holliday. Clayton Richard, the big lefthander will get rough up by the Cardinals offense, despite them losing their clean-up hitter. Jake Westbrook is out to prove himself this season, and will start the season strong. Look for the Cardinals to bounce back on Saturday and beat the Padres.

San Francisco -105 @ Los Angeles Dodgers

We like the Giants to bounce back and win. Last season, that would be the M.O. of the team. Matt Cain, one of the sleepers of the 2011 season will take the mound against Ted Lilly. The Dodgers are going to be good this seaon, but not enough to win a second straight from the defending World Series Champions. We are betting on the Giants over the Dodgers, in Los Angeles.

Houston Astros @ Philadelphia Phillies under 7

The last game we like is an under. Wandy Rodriguez has showed he has filthy stuff. Now is the time to go up against the Phillies lineup. They are a little banged up. On the other side, Cliff Lee is a stud. Two left handers going at each other in this one. This game appears to have the makings of a 3-1 ball game. We like the under 7 in this game!

Good luck with all your Major League Baseball betting. We look forward to bringing you some fantastic picks the from now until October ends!

The 2011 MLB season is among us and it’s time to make some money betting on the sport we all love – baseball!  Gone are the days we talk about future bets and spring training betting odds, the real thing is here.  Let’s dive right in and take a look at a few games that really have some great value for 2011 Opening Day on Friday.

Toronto Bluejays vs. Minnesota Twins

The Minnesota Twins have won the AL Central division 2 years in a row and should have a good shot and winning it again this year.  They are led by offensive studs Justin Morneau and Joe Mauer.  They will send Carl Pavano to the mound on Friday.  The Bluejays are excited to have their first game be at home in front of the Toronto crowd.  Jose Bautista is coming off a career year and a huge multi-year contract signing in the offseason.  Can he still provide the spark on offense?  They will send Romero to the hill on Friday.

The Bluejays are -129 favorites for the game.  Many look at this and automatically like the Twins as underdogs.  Not so fast.  The Bluejays have the Twins number over the years and have a strong tendency to beat up on Minnesota.  We like the Toronto Bluejays -129 on Friday!

Our Pick: Toronto Bluejays -129

Seattle Mariners @ Oakland Athletics

Our second game to bet on for opening day is the Mariners at the Athletics.  Both of these teams have high expectations for the 2011 season.  The Mariners finished 2010 season with the worst record in the American League at 61-101.  The Athletics were 81-81 and 2nd in that division.  Both teams feel they have improved this year and will look to make a run at the Texas Rangers this year.

Both aces take the mound – Felix Hernandez for the Mariners and Trevor Cahill for the Athletics.  This over/under is set at just 6.5 runs.  While both of these pitchers are pretty lights out – the over is a juicy bet here.  Many trends point toward this game going over the 6.5 runs and reaching closer to 8-9 runs on opening day.  We like this to be a 5-3 or 5-4 ballgame.  Take our advice and bet on the Athletics/Mariners Over 6.5 Runs.

Our Pick: Athletics/Mariners Over 6.5

There you have it.  Two picks for Friday 2011 opening day.  We’ll be back on Saturday with a few more winners so check back early and often – right here – at MLBBettingBlog.com!
