MLB Odds “Under” Victories for Giants

Some of the worst teams in baseball have cashed in some of the most ‘under’ tickets on the season. Check out BetOnline Sportsbook‘s MLB odds analysis of the best ‘under’ teams in the bigs.

Season Standings

1: Seattle Mariners (74-54-9) – The M’s rank 30th in baseball in runs per game (3.21), batting average (.236), OPS (.640), and home runs (85). Numbers like that make teams like the Yankees want to laugh, as that is what they average for run production and home runs… in the first four innings of games. Clearly, Seattle has given up on the season, and the next destination might be 100 losses.

2: Houston Astros (75-55-6) – The ‘Stros have been pitching tremendously of late, which is why they have really righted the ship and might threaten the .500 mark on the year. The last time this team allowed more than five runs in a game was way back on August 21st. Those two bad games against the Marlins that day and the day before were the only times five runs were exceeded since August 11th.

3: Baltimore Orioles (75-56-6) – Baltimore’s pitching staff is getting better by the day, so a 4.81 ERA for the season doesn’t seem so bad considering the fact that it was well over 5.00 not that long ago. The O’s are clearly responding well to their new manager, Buck Showalter, and the end result is going to be a lot of good feelings going into the offseason.

Who’s Hot?

1: St. Louis Cardinals (4-0-1) – This might be too little, too late for the Cardinals. They went on a horrifying losing streak in which the Reds opened up a lead that got as big as nine games, and though it is down to just six in the loss column, the offense still isn’t awake enough to really make the big move. The Redbirds are going to be relegated to Wild Card duty if they can get into the postseason.

2: Seattle Mariners (5-1) – Give the pitching staff for Seattle some credit for pitching two shutouts in the L/3 days and holding five of its L/9 foes to one run or less. The problem is the offense, which has now gone 14 straight games without scoring more than five runs. What’s even worse is that all but one of those games ended with no more than three runs.

3: San Francisco Giants (4-1) – The oddsmakers are clearly underestimating the ability of the pitching staff for the Giants. They have kept six straight foes to four runs or less, averaging just 2.17 runs per game allowed. With the Padres slumping, this could be San Fran’s last chance to really make a move in the NL West. After all, this might be the last gasp to make the playoffs for the first time in a number of seasons.
