The AL West Division Race: Baseball Betting's Final Frontier
The American League playoff picture may not be officially confirmed as the dog days of August wage on, but the MLB betting board has certainly started to get predictable in terms of which teams will be playing into October.
In one division though, perhaps the only one with any form of intrigue remaining, the Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels find themselves in competition for the AL West pennant and the resulting postseason berth that comes with it. Starting this Friday, the Rangers - currently up - will host their division rivals looking to widen the gap that separates them. The loser, thanks to the dual dominance of Boston and New York in the East, will forfeit their chance at a title. After winning the American League last year before falling to the San Francisco Giants in the World Series, the Rangers are the expected favorite on the MLB futures board with 10/1 odds. The Angels sit considerably further back with 35/1 odds of winning the World Series. Though it won't be easy for them to claw their way back to the top of the AL West, the upcoming weekend series is as good a place as any to start. If the squad can get behind revitalized ace Dan Haren and start knocking off some much needed victories starting this Friday at 8 PM EST, the Angels could temporarily be one of the most lucrative contenders in baseball.

Evan Abrams -- Specialties: NFL/CFB/MLB/NBA/CBB Years Handicapping: 8 Biggest Win This Year: When I think of my biggest victory in my handicapping career, picking the Giants to beat the Patriots outright in the Super Bowl has to be at the top of the list, but my biggest win so far this season had to have been my 10 unit play on the money line of Hawaii to beat Nevada outright in the middle of October as a 7-point underdog. I have played on and against Hawaii in a lot of games so far this season, the reason for this is because I see a ton of value in the way they play the game. For example, in the game versus Boise State, the value was against Hawaii, but like in the game I just mentioned, Hawaii was playing at home, which is usually a huge advantage for them and they ended up winning the game outright. Sports Handicapping Philosophy: For me, it comes down to formulas, statistics and tons of research. Picking games is how I make a living, so you when you follow my plays you know you get picks each and every time that has gone through tons and tons of filters and research to make sure you, my client, gets the percentages put in your favor. Before a line comes out for any sporting event, both sides have a fifty-fifty chance of winning the game; my job is to make sure once the line comes out, all of my clients get a better than 50% chance of taking advantage of a certain spread or total. My expert plays come from many different facets of the game and that is what differentiates me from other sports handicappers.
