Baseball Odds – Can Baseball Betting Underdog A’s Upset the Yankees at Home?

The New York Yankees and Oakland A’s used to have a fearsome rivalry in the American League, but then again, you can say that about just about any MLB team that has crossed paths with the Yanks in their franchise’s history.

Simply put, people either love or hate the Yankees and that can lead to some interesting MLB betting odds when they come out each day.

The Yankees are a team guaranteed to draw big-time betting action as the MLB betting favorite from New York citizens, but fans of other MLB teams will like to bet against them whenever they get a chance to do so, especially on rowdy trips to Las Vegas for instance.

The MLB betting underdog Oakland A’s will try their luck at home against the Yankees in an interesting matchup that could lead to a big-time betting upset tonight.

MLB betting line: Yankees favored at -1 ½

The Yankees are the betting favorite for good reason in this game but the A’s are not a team to take lightly, either, as they sit atop the AL West early in the 2010 MLB season.
The Yanks will throw Phil Hughes against Ben Sheets in this one, an intriguing matchup between a future and fading star.

The A’s are usually fully capable of pulling betting upsets at home against better teams considering that the east coast teams like New York are usually tired by the time they fly all the way out, but the Yanks had no problems battling that bugaboo as shown by their game one win in this series.

The MLB betting odds favorite Yankees boast a more powerful lineup and the confidence of being World Series champs from 2009, but the baseball betting underdog A’s are a crafty team with good pitching.

In the end it will come down to which team can get the clutch hits and that edge goes to the New York Yankees hands down in what should be a big win for New York. The MLB betting odds have New York as the favorite for good reason as they are the team with superior talent by far over the betting odds underdog A’s despite the somewhat close records.
