EOG Sports Betting Preview: World Series Game 2: Philadelphia Phillies vs New York Yankees
On Wednesday night, the Philadelphia Phillies (101-71, +$1,073) took a 1-0 lead in the World Series when they defeated the New York Yankees (110-62, +$1,502) 6-1. 2B Chase Utley blasted a pair of solo homers off of Yanks' LHP CC Sabathia in what appeared to be a pitcher's duel, but once the New York bullpen became involved, Phillies betting fanatics were sure-fire winners. The Phils plated two runs in the eighth and two more in the ninth in the victory. The star of the game was clearly starting pitcher LHP Cliff Lee, who stymied the Bronx Bombers all night. Lee single-handedly won this baseball gambling affair by throwing a complete game, allowing just six hits and one unearned run, fanning ten Yankees along the way.
In Game 2 of this series, manager Charlie Manuel will turn to the veteran of his staff, RHP Pedro Martinez. The last time Pedro pitched in the World Series was back in 2004 with the Red Sox. He was absolutely fantastic for baseball wagering fanatics of the boys from Beantown in his only career Fall Classic appearance, as he threw seven shutout innings in Game 3 of the '04 Series. In his career, Martinez has had mixed results against the Bronx Bombers. He only has an 11-11 record in 32 starts, but his ERA is an impeccable 3.20. In his only playoff betting start with the Phillies, Martinez threw seven shutout frames as well, allowing just two hits without issuing a walk in Game 2 of the ALCS against the Dodgers.
After getting yet another solid outing from Sabathia, manager Joe Girardi will hand the ball off to his other key free agent signing from the '09 offseason, RHP AJ Burnett. Burnett hasn't quite been as effective as Sabathia in this postseason, but he's still been excellent. He pitched well in his first two games of these playoffs, allowing a total of three earned runs in 12.1 innings, but was lit up for six runs in six innings against the Angels in Game 5 of the ALCS gambling series. The bad outing was Burnett's first time allowing more than two earned runs in a start since September 1st.
Facing a 1-0 hole in the series, the Yankees have been lined as -185 favorites on the World Series betting line. The MLB gambling 'total' has been set at 8.5 over -120.

MLB Sports Betting Preview: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Philadelphia Phillies Game 5
It took a little bit of magic to happen, but when the dust settled in the fourth game of NLCS betting action on Monday night, SS Jimmy Rollins blasted a two-run double off of closer Jonathan Broxton to send the Philadelphia Phillies (99-71, +$808) within one game of eliminating the Los Angeles Dodgers (99-70, +$1,234) and advancing to their second straight World Series. Things looked grim in the MLB wagering affair two days ago for the hosts, as they trailed 4-3 going into the ninth inning against Broxton, one of the most reliable relief pitchers in these playoffs on any team. But Rollins, who has struggled at times in the postseason, came through with the clutch double to notch the sixth baseball wagering victory in the L/7 playoff games for Philadelphia betting fanatics.
Instead of turning to Game 1 starter, LHP Clayton Kershaw on slightly extended rest, manager Joe Torre will look to force this series back to LA by sending RHP Vicente Padilla to the mound on regular rest. Padilla has, without a doubt, been the best pitcher in blue in the playoffs. In Game 2, he stood toe-to-toe with RHP Pedro Martinez, throwing 7.1 innings and only allowing one run, that coming on a solo homer. For the playoffs, Padilla has thrown 14.1 innings and only allowed that one run. Dating back to the regular season, Dodgers gambling aficionados have scored three straight victories with the former Texas Ranger on the mound. In those three starts, he is 2-0 with a svelte 0.92 ERA.
Meanwhile, the man given the first opportunity to send the Phillies to their second straight Fall Classic will be LHP Cole Hamels. Hamels has struggled mightily in these playoffs. He is 1-1 with a 6.97 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP. The southpaw really hasn't pitched well enough to win either contest, but in Game 1 of the NLCS, he was bailed out by another powerful effort from the Phillies' offense. Without a doubt, NLCS gambling action wouldn't look nearly the same for the Phils without the efforts of 1B Ryan Howard, who has knocked in at least one run in all of his playoff games so far in this postseason. That streak continued in the 1st inning of Monday night's 5-4 victory when he bombed a two-run dinger off of LHP Randy Wolf.
Hamels and the Phillies are -150 favorites to eliminate the Dodgers on Wednesday night. The MLB wagering 'total' has been set at 8.5 over -130.

Angels vs. Yankees ALCS Series Odds
Angels vs. Yankees ALCS Series Odds: The Angels are the only American League that has had the Yankees number and they are coming into town to open the Bronx Bombers jugular.

The Angels vs. Yankees ALCS Series Odds have New York at -170 odds to win the best of seven games series.
Lineup: Neither one of these teams got to the ALCS by fluke with both squads loaded on offense and defense. The Yankees were tops in the majors in runs scored with a lineup full of monsters that can hit the ball about 500 feet. The Angels were not far behind with the MLB's 2nd ranked offense led by Vladimir Guerrero and a couple of base thief's in Chone Figgins and Bobby Abreau. Both of these teams are very sound defensively and it would have to be considered a wash in the field. The Angels vs. Yankees ALCS Series Odds have New York as a -167 MLB betting odds favorite for game 1.
Pitching: The pitching edge would have to go to the Yankees by a slight margin. The Angels have more depth in their starting rotation but the Yankees have more top of the rotation talent with ace C.C Sabathia. New York also has the better bullpen with Mr. Automatic Mariano Rivera shutting the door in the late innings.

Brewers at Rockies
Denver, CO - The Colorado Rockies spent all of September holding onto the NL wild-card lead, and on the first day of October they can clinch their second playoff spot in the past three seasons.
Colorado, though, has more than just the wild card in mind.
The Rockies will win the NL West with victories in their last four games, a push they'll try to start Thursday afternoon as they go for a six-game season sweep of the visiting Milwaukee Brewers.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook BetOnline have made the Rockies -165 moneyline favorites for Thursday's game against the Brewers. Current MLB Public Betting Information shows that 77% of more than 177 bets for this game have been placed on the Rockies -165.
Colorado (90-68) grabbed the wild-card lead from San Francisco on Sept. 1 and hasn't looked back. Atlanta pulled within two games earlier this week, but a pair of losses have left the Braves in desperation mode thanks to two Rockies wins.
Chris Iannetta hit a two-run homer in the 11th inning Tuesday night to lift Colorado to a 7-5 victory over Milwaukee (77-81), and the Rockies picked up where they left off Wednesday. Colorado scored five times in the first three innings and got homers from Carlos Gonzalez, Todd Helton and Troy Tulowitzki in a 10-6 win that put it four games up on the Braves with four to play.
"Anytime you're this close, you can smell it,'' Tulowitzki said. "You want to get it done.''
While Atlanta has faltered the past two days, the Los Angeles Dodgers have been struggling even worse lately. The NL West leaders have dropped four in a row, meaning a Rockies win Thursday will allow manager Jim Tracy's club the opportunity to win the division if it can complete a three-game sweep at Dodger Stadium beginning Friday.
"Keep plowing - we're not done with anything yet,'' said Tracy, whose team is 72-40 since he took over.
Aaron Cook (10-6, 4.32 ERA) will try to help Colorado clinch at least the wild card on Thursday, and he'll be looking for a second straight impressive outing upon returning from the disabled list. Cook, who missed five weeks with a right shoulder strain, came back Friday against St. Louis and tossed five shutout innings before leaving without a decision in a 2-1 win.
"I was stunned as to how sharp he was,'' Tracy said. "You never know (what to expect) when you have a layoff like that.''
Cook is 4-2 with a 2.78 ERA in seven starts against Milwaukee over the past six years. Mike Cameron and Prince Fielder - who's tied with Philadelphia's Ryan Howard for the major league lead with 138 RBIs - are hitting a combined .091 against Cook in 22 at-bats.
The Brewers may be in position to offer some opposition as Manny Parra (11-10, 6.16) goes for a fourth straight victory. Parra's latest start was his best, as he gave up two runs over seven innings Friday, striking out eight while beating Cliff Lee and Philadelphia 8-4.
Like Cook in his last outing, Parra was coming off a layoff as well. He left his Sept. 8 start after one inning with neck spasms, and hadn't pitched since.
"I feel it actually refreshed me, if anything,'' Parra said. "I really didn't put too much pressure on myself.''
Parra hasn't allowed a run against Colorado in three career innings of relief.
The Rockies have won eight of nine games against Milwaukee at Coors Field.
