Mets and Phillies duking it out in NL East
-
Dodgers, Diamondbacks ready for NL West showdown
Yankees odds and Red Sox odds highlight this week's MLB games as New York and Boston resume their bitter rivalry. That's just a taste of great division action with heavy playoff implications taking place in Major League Baseball. It should make for an incredible week of online sports betting.
New York Mets at Philadelphia Phillies: August 26-27 at Citizens Bank Park
Just because this is a mini-series doesn't make it any less crucial for both clubs (or any less exciting for
online sports betting, for that matter). Neither
New York nor
Philadelphia has been able to grab a foothold in the National League East, but sweeping this two-game series would certainly help. That's a good thing for Mets-backers - New York has topped the Phillies in seven of their past 10 meetings.
Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees: August 26-28 at Yankee Stadium
It's sounds crazy but it's true?both the Yankees and Red Sox could miss the playoffs in the same season for the first time since 1993. Great play by
Tampa Bay and
Minnesota has fans, forecasters and the
online betting community doubting
Red Sox odds and
Yankees odds. There's plenty of games left to go so there's no reason to count these teams out yet but, rest assured, this is a huge series for both clubs. We'll find out who's got enough juice left in the tank to make a run.
Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks: August 29-31 at Chase Field
Los Angeles and
Arizona are in a heated battle for the National League West division. The winner could get a shot at World Series glory; the loser won't even have a chance at the Wild Card. Both teams rely on pitching as their bread and butter, so don't expect a ton of fireworks. The Diamondbacks and Dodgers have split their past 10 match-ups.
It should be a wild week in
