The 2014 MLB regular season takes a break from all the action for a
few days this week in light of this year’s Home Run Derby on Monday and
Tuesday’s All-Star Game, making it the perfect time to review BetAnySports MLB betting results of the first half of the regular season.
The Oakland Athletics have been one of the hottest teams on the field
this season with a Major League-best record of 59-36 through their
first 95 games of a grueling 162-game schedule. A’s fans have to be
thrilled with an effort that has the team in first place in the Al West,
holding a game and a half lead over the surging Los Angeles Angels, but
both of these teams have provided a tremendous return on investment
when it comes to betting moneylines for the games. Oakland has the best
return in the Majors at +$1,436 on BetAnySports’ closing MLB betting odds followed by a very healthy return of +$1,380 for the Angels.
The surprising Baltimore Orioles are holding down the top spot in the
highly competitive AL East with a record of 52-42. Their lead over
Toronto heading into the break stands at four games with the New York
Yankees still in the chase at 47-47, which is five games off the pace.
The Orioles’ return on the moneyline this season is the third-best in
MLB at +$1,260 through this past Sunday’s games. Detroit leads the way
in the AL Central at 53-38 by 6.5 games over Kansas City and its return
on BetAnySports MLB moneyline stands at +$199.
The Los Angeles Dodgers opened the new season as odds-on-favorites to
win the National League Pennant and they are starting to find that
championship form with a 54-43 record that has them a game ahead of San
Francisco in the NL West. The Dodgers have not always been the best team
to wager on with an overall return of -$87, but they have won far more
than they have lost over the past month or so.
The team with the best return in the NL on BetAnySports’ MLB
moneyline odds have been the Cincinnati Reds at +$586. They are
currently 51-44 on the year and a game and half behind upstart Milwaukee
in the NL Central Division race. The Brewers got a fast start out of
the gate, but they closed-out the first half of the regular season with a
2-8 record in their last 10 games. Milwaukee’s return on the moneyline
now stands at +$441.
Washington and Atlanta are tied atop the NL East standings at the
break, but the Braves have provided a slight advantage to bettors with a
+$187 return on the moneyline, while the Nationals’ overall return is
in the red at -$33.
