Red Sox and Yankees in for Another Battle in AL East

By: The Frisco Kid

AL East -- Red Sox Looking in Rear View | Can Yankees Catch Up

In what may be a season long roller coaster, the AL East is churning like a tropical storm. It seems that no matter what the Yankees do right, the Red Sox do one better.

The race heats up in the AL East as the Yankees take on the Tampa Bay Rays in a four game weekend set. The Red Sox find themselves in the Pacific Northwest taking on the red hot Mariners.

This weekend is a prime opportunity for the Yankees to make up some much needed ground over these pesky Red Sox. This Red sox team is for real and they are not going away. Having won four straight, they hit the Mariners at a good time; when they are hot.

The Sox are going to need every bat to fight off the upstart Mariners. They walked away with a 2-1 victory in the series opener on Thursday night behind another strong outing from David Price who threw for 7 innings giving up 5 hits and one earned run with no walks.

The Mariners

Don’t underestimate the Mariners. These guys are hot as well and hitting the cover off the ball. The Red Sox got away with one on Thursday and scored in the second on a misplayed fly ball to right. This seldom happens to this Mariners club.

The Mariners have built a very solid defensive team. Relying on Felix Hernandez just might keep them out of the race down the stretch in a long baseball season. Find a great bookie service and take a serious look at the Red Sox. They are proving to be a fantastic bet this year against the numbers.

Where do the Yankees fit in all of the madness in this AL East Race?

 The Yankees will be fine. They are too deep to not be! This team is built for the long haul and they will give the Red Sox a run for the money. You can count on the Yankees hitting. The question is, can you count on the Yankees pitching? That is yet to be determined.

Look, the Yankees are solid on the mound and it’s tough playing in that town. Pitchers are held to a completely different standard. When a team has a guy like Severino with 9 wins, everyone else is chopped liver! The Yankees pitching rotation is squared away and built for the long haul.

Aaron Boone and staff have this team built for success. With the likes of Chad Green at 4 wins, Severino 9 wins, Sabathia 4 wins, Robertson 5 wins, Tanaka 7 wins, and Sonny Gray with 4 wins. But this is not the end of the story. Aroldis Chapman has held up his end of the bargain like a champion with 19 saves!

Can the Pitching Staff Keep up Torid Pace?

This pitching staff is loaded so far this year. Nobody is saying this is the second coming of the 1998 Yankees when they had Pettitte, Wells Cone, Irabu and Hernandez! AND with a bullpen stacked with the greatest closer of all time—Mariano Rivera.

The Pen also had Mendoza, Stanton, Nelson and Loyd. That was a team for the ages and the Yankees will probably never have that luxury again.

At the end of the day in 2018, the Yankees will hold their own with the Red Sox. They may take over the lead in the AL East this weekend. The Red Sox will need to sweep the Mariners and we don’t see that happening, not by a long shot.

The Mariners are a good ball club and they will be a huge problem for the Sox at Safeco. The Yankees should step and most likely get a series sweep in Tampa.

This is a fantastic weekend for baseball with two great scenarios being played out in both the American League East and West. Call your online bookie and lay the numbers this weekend. There is real opportunity to pad the baseball bankroll.

MLS Soccer -- Columbus Crew SC vs. Atlanta United

First Place Atlanta United Look to Keep Solid Play

Columbus Crew SC vs. Atlanta United
2018 MLS Regular Season - Week 16
MAPFRE Stadium — Columbus
June 13 - 7:30 pm ET
WATCH: ESPN+, MLS LIVE on DAZN (Canada)

It’s another Eastern Conference ier clash with first-place Atlanta United heading to MAPFRE Stadium to meet a Columbus Crew SC side that is three points off the lead. This comes  days after the United were able to take a result away from Yankee Stadium.

Both teams come into the game off high-profile draws on Saturday. The Five Stripes were fortunate to come out of Yankee Stadium level with NYCFC, 1-1. The Crew SC settled for a 1-1 home draw with the New York Red Bulls.

Atlanta won their two regular season meetings against Crew SC in 2017. They outscored them 5-1. The Crew beat Atlanta in the 2017 playoffs in a shootout win at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Columbus Crew SC

It’s now nine games without a loss for Columbus (7-3-6). It’s three consecutive draws instead of some wins as Crew SC played the Red Bulls to a 1-1 draw.

If not for Luis Robles’ heroics, Crew SC should have had more than just a Gyasi Zardes goal, his 10th of the season in the 26th minute, from a dominant opening 45 minutes.

The Red Bulls rallied after halftime and earned an Alex Muyl equalizer in the 57th minute.

Atlanta United

Brad Guzan stood on his head, making nine saves to help Atlanta (9-3-3) earn a 1-1 draw with NYCFC. They became the first team this season to take a point from Yankee Stadium.

The first half was an entertaining one, but scoreless. The Five Stripes jumped in front in the 48th minute on Josef Martinez’s league-leading 13th goal of the season. NYCFC went on the offensive and outshot Atlanta, 25-5 from that point. They leveled on an Alex Callens back-post header in the 77th minute and hitting three posts.

Yankees and Nats Wrap up Series in New York

Yankees Look to Sweep the Nationals Tonight

The Washington Nationals and the New York Yankees play the last game in their series on Wednesday when they battle at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees can sweep the two game series and put the Nationals two games behind the Braves.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, ESPN, MASN (Washington), YES (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals RH Erick Fedde (0-1, 4.76 ERA) vs. Yankees RH Sonny Gray (4-4, 4.81)

Oddsmakers have the Yankees as -180 moneyline favorites and the total is at 9.5.

Yankees Offense Depends on Long Ball

Yankees have relieved heavily on homers of late. New York has scored 20 of their last 22 runs courtesy of the long ball. After Didi Gregorius recorded his third multi-homer performance of the season in the opener.

Gregorius is batting .313 over his last 12 games. He belted a pair of solo homers in Tuesday's 3-0 triumph for New York. The Yankees have won 10 of 12 overall and 18 of its last 22 at home.

The Yankees' bullpen pushed its scoreless innings streak to 21 2/3 innings. They pitched 3 1/3 scoreless frames in the opener. It lowered their ERA to a majors-best 0.63 in 42 2/3 innings over the last 14 games.

Gray got a no-decision on Wednesday despite retiring the first 12 batters he faced. He scattered two hits and struck out eight over eight scoreless innings against Toronto.

The 28-year-old has recorded quality starts in three of his last four outings. Gray has limited the current crop of Nationals to just a .219 batting average. Gray has yet to pick up a decision in two career starts versus the Nationals despite stellar stats.

C Gary Sanchez, who is mired in a 4-for-53 stretch with 18 strikeouts, is expected to sit out his second straight game on Wednesday.

Nationals Look to Keep Pace with Braves

The Nationals have been blanked for second time in as many games. In yesterdays shutout they collected just eight hits in the process.

Bryce Harper is expected to be fine after the 2015 National League Most Valuable Player was hit in the elbow and foot by a pair of pitches in Tuesday's tilt.

Fedde is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to replace fellow right-hander Stephen Strasburg. The candy-assed Strasburg was shuffled to the disabled list on Sunday with an ailing shoulder.

The 25-year-old allowed three runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings to take the loss against San Diego on May 23. That is his lone spot start with the Nationals. Fedde has a 3-2 mark with a 4.76 ERA in 56 2/3 innings with Syracuse this season.

CF Adam Eaton has hit safely in both games since being activated from the 60-day disabled list.

East Leading Atlanta Braves Host the Mets

Atlanta Braves Played Most Road Games in MLB

The New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves will meet on Tuesday at SunTrust Park in Atlanta. The Mets have been looking to get out of the city of New York, and the Braves welcome a long home stand. They have played the most road games in MLB so far this season. The Mets had lost 10 straight at home.

Right hander Zack Wheeler will take the mound for the Mets to start this game. Wheeler is 2-4 this season with a 4.57 ERA.

Wheeler's opponent in this one will be Mike Foltynewicz. The Braves right hander has a 2.31 ERA to go along with a 5-4 record this season.

TV: 7:35 p.m. ET, ESPN; SNY (New York), FS Southeast (Atlanta)

Oddsmakers opened the Braves as -146-moneyline favorites versus the Mets, while the game's total opened at 8.5. The Braves are now -150 on the moneyline and the total is still at 8.5.

Atlanta Braves are the Surprise of the NL This Season

The Braves are in a virtual tie for the National League East lead with Washington. This is despite going 2-4 against San Diego and the Los Angeles Dodgers during a road trip that concluded Sunday. They lead the fourth-place Mets by 7 1/2 games.

Atlanta is 7-3 against New York this season. They are off to its surprising start thanks to a 25-14 record against the rest of the NL East. The Braves have played just 28 home games. They have 12 of their next 14 at SunTrust Park.

Foltynewicz had the best game of his career in his most recent start in Atlanta. He pitched a two-hit shutout against the Nationals on June 1. Folty striuck out 11 and walked one.

Foltynewicz was 3-1 with a 0.56 ERA in a five-start stretch after blanking Washington. He struggled with location through five innings in a loss at San Diego on Wednesday. Folty is still looking for consistency.

Mets are in a Freefall

The Mets have been in a free fall since starting the season 11-1. They hope to get things back on track away from the pressures of New York during a 10-game road trip.

Wheeler allowed just three hits in seven scoreless innings against Baltimore on Wednesday in New York. He got a no-decision in the loss.

The Mets scored one run while being swept in a three-game series by the Orioles. They scored only 12 runs in the 1-8 homestand.

Wheeler missed the 2015 and 2016 seasons after Tommy John elbow surgery. He will be facing the Braves for the first time since be threw six scoreless innings against them at old Turner Field on Sept. 19, 2014. Wheeler is 4-2 with a 2.94 ERA in eight career starts against his hometown team.

Wheeler started the season in the minors. He has three quality starts in his last four outings while posting a 2.52 ERA during that stretch.

How to Enter World Soccer Pickem

To enter the Contest, Participants must have a registered FanDuel.com account and enter through the FanDuel.com website or using the FanDuel mobile application. During each day of the Contest Period, Participants may enter the Contest by selecting an outcome (winning team, or tie) and score across all World Cup games occurring on that day (“Daily Contest”). For example, if there are 4 World Cup games in one day, Participants will need to pick the outcomes and scores of all 4 games in order to enter the Daily Contest. Participants who do not enter a score and outcome for all games in one day will not be eligible for that day’s Daily Contest.

a Sponsor shall not be liable for any problems that occur during the entry process, including without limitation, late, incomplete, delayed, undelivered, or misdirected entries, and shall not have any obligation to advise an entrant of an incomplete, invalid, or undeliverable submission. No illegible, incomplete, forged, or altered entries will be accepted.

b Limit One (1) Entry per person per night during the Contest Period.

How Winners are Determined

For each Daily Contest, a Participant must select the correct outcome (e.g., which team will win or whether the game will end in a tie) and the correct scores across all games run that day in order to win a share of the daily prize (“Daily Prize”). At the end of each Daily Contest, all Participants that correctly choose all the outcome(s) and score(s) will split the Daily Prize (“Cash Prize”). The prizing for each Daily Contest will be displayed when each Daily Contest becomes available for Participants to enter.

In addition, Participants who pick all the correct outcome(s) in a Daily Contest (but not necessarily the score(s) as well) will receive a voucher into an exclusive World Cup DFS Free Play (“Voucher Prize”) taking place at the end of the World Cup round in which the Daily Contest occurred. Participants are eligible to win one Voucher Prize per Daily Contest in which they participate

In the event a World Cup game is decided by penalty shoot-out, the correct outcome will involve picking the winning team, while the correct score will involve picking the correct score at the end of overtime.

The Free Plays will take place according to the following schedule:

Game Cancellation Stipulations

In the event that a scheduled World Cup game is postponed, suspended or cancelled for any reason during the Contest Period, then such game shall not count toward the Daily Contest. For example, if there are three scheduled World Cup games in a Daily Contest, and one of the games is postponed to a later date, the postponed game will not be a part of the Daily Contest, and the determination of prize winners will be based on the remaining two games. If no World Cup games take place on a given day, then the Daily Contest for that day will be canceled.

Subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the terms of these Official Rules, the potential winners will be declared the official Winners of the Contest. The purchase of any goods or services will not increase any Participant’s chances of winning. All decisions of the Sponsor regarding the Contest and the application of these Rules are final and binding.

MLB Monday Betting Preview & Pick- Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee Brewers

Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers Battle for First

The battle for first place in the NL Central Division race highlight’s Monday night’s series opener between the Chicago Cubs and the Milwaukee Brewers. BetAnySports has opened the Cubs as -123 road favorites for Monday night’s 8:05 p.m. (ET) start with the total set at 8.5 runs.

The Cubs are coming off a lopsided 7-1 loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday as heavy -186 home favorites. This was just their third loss in their last 14 games. At 37-25 overall with a 18-12 record on the road, Chicago is just a half game in back of Milwaukee for the division lead.

The total stayed UNDER nine runs in Sunday’s loss. It has stayed UNDER BetAnySports’ closing line in six of the Cubs’ last seven games.

Cubs Have NL's Top Pitching Staff

As the top pitching team in the NL with a staff ERA of 3.21, Chicago is also climbing the ranks when it comes to runs scored (5.02). It will try and keep things rolling in the right direction with Jose Quintana on the mound for Game 1.

The right hander failed to get the decision his last time out against Philadelphia with two earned runs on three hits over 5 2/3 innings. His ERA through 12 starts is 4.20 with a 1.37 WHIP.

Milwaukee Brewers Barley Holding Onto NL Central Lead

Milwaukee has watched its lead in the NL Central dwindle with just four victories in its last 10 games. The Brewers have lost four of their last six. That includes a 4-3 setback against Philadelphia on Sunday as -119 road favorites.

They are 39-26 overall and they return home at 18-11 on the year. The total has stayed UNDER in seven of their last 10 outings, but they did hammer home a total of 27 runs in the three weekend games against the Phillies.

The Brewers are bit further down the list in the NL in scoring with an average of 4.4 runs per game. Their staff ERA is a solid 3.48 with Junior Guerra slated to get the start on Monday night. The right hander is 3-4 this season with a 2.83 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP through his first 11 starts.

He allowed three earned runs on seven hits in six innings pitched to pick up the loss against Cleveland last Tuesday.

The Cubs have won seven of the first eight meetings this season. They have a favorable matchup on the mound. I like their chances to pick up another win on Monday night as road favorites with BetAnySports.

WagerWeb.eu Sportsbook Review

Anyone who has experience betting on sports with an offshore sportsbook will notice that their website targets the American market. However, once you login your gambling account you will notice that they offer several international betting option as well.

In terms of sports betting, we enjoyed using their sports betting software because of its simplicity.  In fact, several sportsbook pay per head reviews have mentioned that WagerWeb.eu has one of the best betting interface.

For those who like to bet on sports as the action unfolds, you will enjoy their live betting options.  This is because they have several gambling options that truly make betting on a live game more exciting. On the other hand, their digital casino was nothing to write home about.  The games on their casino platform are old and frankly we think they would be better off without them.

Belmont Stake Odds – More Mud for Justify?

The field is set for the 2018 Belmont Stakes and Triple Crown contender Justify is the talk of the race. Furthermore, Justify is holding firm atop the horse racing futures market as the 4/5 favorite. Belmont Stake Odds also have Hofburg as the second favorite at 9/2, just as he was on the Morning Line. In addition, Bravazo has improved from 8/1 to 15/2. NBC will be at Belmont Park starting at 4 p.m. Eastern; post time is scheduled for 6:37 p.m.

Bet on Horse Racing at Bovada and get a FREE 50% BONUS.

Justify might get some help from above in his quest to complete the Triple Crown. The Bob Baffert-trained chestnut colt has already taken down the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes in sloppy conditions, and Saturday’s Belmont forecast at press time is looking more and more like rain. Justify will also break from post No. 1, which has produced more Belmont champions by far – 23 of them – than any other post position.

Among the other notable contenders for Saturday’s race: Vino Rosso, who has slipped from 8/1 on the Morning Line to 9/1; Tenfold, now available at 10/1 after opening at 12/1, and Blended Citizen, down from 15/1 to 20/1. Gronkowski (25/1), Noble Indy (33/1), Restoring Hope (33/1) and Free Drop Billy (66/1) round out the field.

Belmont Stakes Odds: Justify Chasing Triple Crown Glory

Will this be the soggiest Triple Crown in thoroughbred racing history? With rain increasingly likely for Saturday’s Belmont Stakes, Justify is in fine shape as the 4/5 favorite, after taking down both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness on muddy tracks. Hofburg is next at 9/2.

Justify also drew the inside rail on Tuesday, which is actually a plus in this 1.5-mile race. More Belmont champions (23 in all) have broken from post No. 1 than any other position. According to PricePerPlayer.com, NBC’s extended Belmont coverage begins at 4 p.m. Eastern, with post time scheduled for 6:37 p.m.
