Playoff Baseball Betting – Who Are The Best UNDER Teams
October 5, 2010
With the postseason set to get underway, it’s time to get some wagers in on the Playoff Baseball Betting. But who should you take?
Here is a list of the best UNDER teams in this year’s postseason:
Philadelphia Phillies (97-65 SU, 74-85-3 O/U): With a lineup that includes so many heavy hitters, it’s hard to imagine that the Phillies are one of the best UNDER plays in baseball. But that’s exactly what they are, as their pitchers have been limiting opposing offenses all season long.

For years the Atlanta Braves had a “big three,” in their pitching rotation, and that new big three may be Roy Oswalt, Roy Halladay and Cole Hamels in Philadelphia. The three are a terror for opposing hitters, with Halladay leading the NL in wins, and finishing in the top five in strikeouts and ERA. Oswalt and Hamels both came on strong down the stretch, especially Oswalt, who was a huge addition to this team after being traded by Houston at the All-Star break.
Yes Philadelphia has some big bats in their lineup, but they’ve got enough pitching to keep any game they play low scoring. Keep that in mind when placing your UNDER bets.
Tampa Bay Rays (96-66 SU, 73-82-7 O/U): While their AL East counterparts in New York get all the credit for putting together an offensive juggernaut on the field, the Rays have quietly done it with pitching and defense. Few teams do it better, leading to the most UNDER wins of any team in this year’s postseason.
Of course that number is a credit to Joe Maddon’s pitching staff, which is essentially second to none in the American League. They ranked fifth in baseball in quality starts, eighth in ERA and third in team WHIP. Their defense is excellent too, committing just 84 errors on the entire season.
If you’re looking for a sure-fire UNDER play entering the Playoff Baseball Betting, the Rays should be your pick. No team is better at limiting the opposition than they are.
San Francisco Giants (91-70 SU, 74-81-7 O/U): Entering this postseason, there might be no more feared team than San Francisco. And it’s because of their pitching staff, the best in baseball.
The Giants enter the postseason leading the Major League’s in team ERA (3.36) and strikeouts (1,331), and are fourth with 95 quality starts, proving that AT&T Park really is a house of horrors for opposing hitters. They can also throw a deadly combination of top shelf pitchers at you, including Tim Lincecum who led this team with 16 wins this season, Matt Cain (3.14 ERA) and lefties Jonathan Sanchez and Madison Bumgarner. It doesn’t get any easier when you get into the bullpen to face Brian Wilson, one of the National League’s top closers.
When looking for an UNDER bet to make, there may not be a better play on the board than the Giants. Get into the Playoff Baseball Betting NOW!
