After an entertaining and eventful 87th Annual MLB All-Star game it is
time to get read and see what the 2nd half of the season holds for many
teams. It's been a rollercoaster ride for the Toronto Blue Jays (51-40,
+0.05 betting units) this year, but they went into the All-Star break on
a hot streak, and they'll begin the unofficial second half of the
season Friday night with the first of three road games against the
struggling Oakland Athletics (38-51, –12.34 units). Sportsnet has the
coverage starting at 10:05 PM ET.

Despite the continued absence of injured outfielder Jose Bautista (turf
toe), the Blue Jays have won eight of their last nine to move to third
place in the American League East. Toronto has the best run differential
in the division at plus-75, just six runs behind Cleveland on the
junior circuit.



The Athletics, meanwhile, are near the bottom of the American League
with a minus-69 run differential, and they've lost eight of their last
11 games. Oakland ranks No. 27 in the majors in hitting with a .701 OPS,
and No. 21 in pitching at 4.40 FIP. There are injuries nearly
everywhere on the diamond; relief pitcher Fernando Rodriguez (3.64 FIP)
is the latest casualty, out for 15 days with a strained right rotator
cuff.

Holland will try to get back on track tonight as the Rangers begin a
three-game road series with the Oakland Athletics against another
struggling left-hander. He had a promising April after missing most of
the previous two seasons due to injury, but May has been the opposite.



Holland (3-2, 6.09 ERA) went 3-1 with a 2.48 ERA in his first five
starts and completed at least five innings in each. Over his last two,
he's 0-1 with 16 runs allowed in just five total innings. He gave up
five runs (four earned) and eight hits in 2 1/3 innings of
Tuesday's13-11 home win over the Chicago White Sox.



He hasn't faced the A's since 2014 but has struggled in his last four
starts in the series, going 0-2 with a 5.94 ERA and making it through at
least five innings just once.



Manaea was knocked around in Boston for eight runs on 10 hits in 2 2/3 innings in just his third career big league start.



Manaea's ability to rebound will be especially significant. The A's are
eyeing rotation changes in the coming week, with right-handers Henderson
Alvarez and Jesse Hahn expected to return, and Manaea is a likely
candidate to be sent down to continue his work in the Minors.



Danny Valencia homered three times in the series finale two days after
hitting his first two home runs of the year. The third baseman is
batting .405 on a 10-game hitting streak.



The A's edged out the Rangers, 10-9 in last year's season series.



The first 5 inning bets stand at -½ +120 on the A's and u4½ -105. Also on the game the A's -1½ +170 and o8½ +100 at Wager506.com Today Wager506.com
will guarantee the bets on this game for new accounts, meaning if you
lose they put the risk money back in the account with a 7x rollover.

MLB Odds: Rangers are on the Rampage in Oakland - Handicappers Hideaway

Betting on Texas Rangers Bseball


MLB Odds: Rangers are on the Rampage in Oakland


The Texas Rangers have been defying the baseball odds all season
long. At press time, they’re the most profitable team in the majors at
80-69 and 26.95 betting units in the black. The Rangers are also on top
of the AL West, and they can help their playoff cause with a win
Wednesday night (10:05 PM ET) against the last-place Oakland Athletics.


Bet on baseball at Bodog and get a free 100% bonus.


Colby Lewis (4.18 FIP) is scheduled to start for Texas. Lewis hasn’t
been the same pitcher since undergoing elbow surgery in 2012, but he’s
up 6.06 units this year on a team record of 16-14. The last time Lewis
faced the A’s was September 11, when he twirled a complete-game
two-hitter in a 4-0 Texas victory, cashing in as a –133 home chalk on
the closing line.


The A’s will be going with Felix Doubront (4.09 FIP), who’s enjoyed a
surprisingly good run in Oakland after the Toronto Blue Jays designated
him for assignment in late July. Doubront has made six starts, and
Oakland is 5-1 for a profit of 7.04 units. However, only two of those
appearances were quality starts. Current Rangers have a combined 1.012
OPS versus Dubront; Adrian Beltre is 7-for-11 with two home runs.

MLB Odds: Jays Gain Momentum and Now Face AL-Leading Athletics


Betting on Oakland Athletics Baseball



The Toronto Blue Jays just finished knocking around the National
League’s top team. Having turned the MLB odds on their head, the Jays
will hit the road to see if they can do it all over again against their
own league’s top team.


Bet on baseball at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.


The Brewers are to the NL what the Oakland Athletics are to the AL.
Both teams hopped out of the gates with early division leads and have
gradually established themselves as top teams over the course of the
summer.


Still, while the two may be neck and neck in the overall standings,
the Athletics are more revered in the sportsbook. The Brewers are just
12/1 to win the World Series while the Athletics are 11/1.


Are the Jays finally showing signs that they’re the contenders that
many assumed they would be during the offseason before last? Their 2013
campaign was a bust, but hope remains for the future.


Regardless of what sports bettors think of the team now, another
solid performance against a league-leader could change their outlook
heading forward.

Expect a Pitchers Duel in Oakland as the Tigers Scherzer Takes on the A’s Gray on Tuesday Night

MLB Betting: Powered by Encarnacion, Jays Emerge as AL Force


Betting on Blue Jays MLB

Thanks to the booming bat of notoriously underrated slugger Edwin
Encarnacion, the Toronto Blue Jays are getting awfully close to
contending for the top spot in the exhausting American League East. This
weekend they’ll put themselves to the test hosting the MLB betting
favorite Oakland Athletics.


Bet on baseball at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.


Back-to-back multi-home run games this week gave Encarnacion a hefty
13 on the season while raising his OPS to .894. Naturally, life would be
considerably easier for the Jays if the 31-year-old could maintain that
level dominance over the course of the remainder of the season.


Not to be overlooked by one slugger’s recent success, the A?s are a
force to be reckoned with in their own right, especially considering
their 8/1 odd of winning the World Series (tied for second in all of
baseball, behind the Detroit Tigers).


Will Encarnacion’s hot bat be enough to solve an A’s rotation that’s
powered Oakland to more wins than any other team in the Majors?


Encarnacion and the Jays have enjoyed a solid start in 2014 and
mathematically speaking are on pace to win 87 games on the year. If they
did, it would be their third most successful season since they won the
World Series in 1993 – no wonder their 25/1 MLB odds are on the rise.
