The Atlanta Braves appear like they’re simply all set for October to get here already.
Sunday night was another example of a terrific group looking unfocused. They took a 3-0 lead on a New York Mets group that has actually been mainly horrible given that costing the trade due date. Then the Mets scored the next 7 runs and hung on to a 7-6 win over Atlanta.
The Braves are 5-5 in their last 10 video games. It’s simple to be sidetracked in August when you’re more than 30 video games over .500. The Braves still have a four-game lead on the Los Angeles Dodgers for the very best record in the NL.
The good news for the Braves may be that the New York Yankees are pertaining to town. The Yankees’ season reached a low point on Sunday when they blew a 7-1 lead and lost to the Tampa Bay Rays after quiting 5 runs in the ninth inning. The Braves are -225 favorites at BetMGM for the series opener.
The Braves have actually been average for a month. They were 61-29 after winning on July 14. They’re 14-13 given that. That’s among the difficulties of wagering baseball: The Braves are plainly the very best group in MLB, however it’s a long season, and it’s tough to anticipate them to win two-thirds of their video games over a whole season. Atlanta will most likely be great by the postseason, however wagering them as a big preferred the previous couple of weeks has actually been a bad concept. It’s even worse if you have actually been taking them as a -1.5 preferred on the run line. Those Braves bets that were cashing for months suddenly dried up.
It’s frightening to wager versus the Braves, specifically when they’re dealing with a flailing Yankees group, however you may not wish to be wagering Atlanta frequently till their cool stretch passes.
Here’s the very first take a look at the sports wagering slate for Monday:
MLB has 9 video games
A couple of groups have a day of rest Monday, however there’s still a healthy schedule for baseball on Monday.
An intriguing series begins in San Diego, where the Baltimore Orioles travel to deal with the San Diego Padres. The Padres are 5.5 video games back in the wild-card race and if they’re going to make any sound it requires to start now. They’re -130 favorites versus the AL East-leading Orioles.
English Premier League is back
The EPL season began recently and has one match on Monday afternoon. Manchester United is a -350 preferred on the three-way line versus Wolverhampton. A draw is +500 and the Wolves are +950.
What’s the very best bet?
The Orioles have paid all season, so why not ride with them once again on Monday? I’ll take the O’s as a +120 underdog. The Padres are simply an underachieving group which’s not likely to alter over the remainder of the season.
