With MLB betting kicking into high gear, that means that some new features and content will be showing up on Betting News. A daily MLB betting preview is one such piece of content to look forward to, along with our new weekly MLB betting preview.
The timing is perfect for introducing some new features and content, as this week is going to be quite the busy week for MLB betting. The action gets underway today with 13 games on the schedule. There was supposed to be a 14th, but this afternoon’s Boston Red Sox vs Minnesota Twins matchup was postponed.
Tonight’s MLB schedule sees the AL Cy Young favorite, Gerrit Cole, take the mound as the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays open their series. At the start of the season, the Yankees and Blue Jays were the leading favorites to win the AL East, and they continue to be heading into this series. The Red Sox, meanwhile, have now moved ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays for the third-best AL East odds after their 6-3 start.
Elsewhere, the most notable matchups see the Rays hosting the Texas Rangers, the Milwaukee Brewers hosting the Chicago Cubs, and the San Francisco Giants hosting the Cincinnati Reds in a matchup of two unheralded teams who have started well. Also, a past AL Cy Young winner will duel with a potential future AL Cy Young winner, as Zack Greinke and the Houston Astros host Casey Mize and the Detroit Tigers.
