Mariners Betting on Improved Offense in 2012 -- It Can't Be Any Worse

Well, the Seattle Mariners will be first at something in the 2012 season: Their pitchers and catchers were the first of the 30 clubs to report to camp and their full squad reported Friday. Will that matter much with Seattle looking poised to finish at the bottom of the AL West again? The Mariners are 90/1 on Bovada’s baseball betting futures to win the World Series this season and 50/1 to win the AL pennant.  Bet on MLB futures now at Bovada!   Seattle finished 67-95 a year ago despite...

2012 Orioles Still Not Close to Contending in Loaded AL East

It’s a new year but the same expected result for the perennially rebuilding Baltimore Orioles as nearly every prognosticator expects the Birds to finish fifth in the AL East again, just as they did a year ago with a 69-93 record – their 14th straight season with a losing record and sixth straight with at least 92 losses. Baltimore is 150/1 on Bovada’s MLB futures odds to win the World Series and 75/1 to win the AL pennant.  Bet on MLB futures now at Bovada!   The Orioles are such a mess...

2012 Houston Astros Could Be One of Worst Teams in Baseball History

With pitchers set to report to spring training camps in Florida and Arizona later this week, it’s time to start the Major League Baseball team-by-team previews here at Bovada and we start at the bottom: the Houston Astros. Will they contend for the NL Central title or a playoff spot? It would be a miracle. Houston is 100/1 on Bovada’s baseball futures odds to win the 2012 World Series.  Check out Bovada's Sports Welcome Bonus: Sign up and deposit for your 20% Free Bet Bonus up to...

Edwin Jackson Makes Nationals Contenders, Hurts Pitching Needy Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox appear to have a gaping hole at the back end of their rotation, yet the team hasn’t yet added anyone established who can eat innings behind Josh Beckett, Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz. Boston was very interested in free-agent right-hander Edwin Jackson to slot in at No. 4 in the rotation, but apparently not interested enough as Jackson has signed a one-year deal with the Washington Nationals.   Jackson was hoping for a long-term lucrative deal, but it appeared that most...

Are Texas Rangers AL West Favorites with Yu Darvish Signing? (No)

As expected, the Texas Rangers beat Wednesday’s deadline to sign Japanese star pitcher Yu Darvish, but the Rangers still are behind the beefed-up Los Angeles Angels in terms of Bovada odds to win the American League West, much less three-peat as AL champions.   Texas won the right to sign Darvish with a $51.7 million posting bid in December and had 30 days to agree to a contract. If the sides had not agreed by Wednesday, Darvish would have had to return to Japan to pitch. But the...

Crushing Blow for Detroit Tigers: Victor Martinez Likely Out for Year

The chances of the reigning American League Central champion Detroit Tigers returning to the playoffs again in the 2012 season just got a bit longer as catcher/first baseman/DH Victor Martinez was revealed to have torn an ACL during off-season conditioning and will likely miss the season.   Martinez will be re-evaluated by Dr. Richard Stedman next week and surgery to repair the torn ACL in his left knee is anticipated. A four-time All-Star, Martinez hit .330 with 40 doubles, 12 home runs and...

MLB Betting: Mets Ace Johan Santana in Question for Start of 2012 Season

As if things didn’t look bad enough already for the 2012 New York Mets, now comes word that the team isn’t very confident that ace left-hander Johan Santana will be ready for the start of next season.   Santana missed all of last season after having surgery in September 2010 to repair a torn capsule in his left shoulder. Originally the Mets hoped he would pitch in the second half of last season, but he had one bad break after another and ended making only one minor-league start before...

MLB Betting: Angels Jump to Second-Favorites for 2012 World Series Title

The $331 million that Los Angeles Angels owner Arte Moreno spent on free agent slugger Albert Pujols and pitcher C.J. Wilson has vaulted the Angels to 7/1 to win the 2012 World Series on Bodog’s MLB baseball futures, which is tied with the New York Yankees as the shortest odds behind Philadelphia (5/1).   After winning the AL West three years in a row and five of six years, the Halos have finished 10 games behind the Texas Rangers the past two seasons to miss the playoffs. Moreno, who has...

MLB Stunner: Albert Pujols Signs $250 Million Deal with Angels

Future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols, a St. Louis icon, is a Cardinal no more: Pujols has shocked the baseball world by reportedly agreeing to a 10-year, $250 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels – the Halos weren’t even rumored to be in the Pujols sweepstakes early on but must have been that “mystery” team outside of known bidders the Marlins, Cardinals and Cubs.   It was thought Pujols would be heading back to St. Louis after the Marlins pulled their 10-year, $220-million offer to...

MLB Betting: Pitcher C.J. Wilson Picks Angels Over Marlins

After a few seasons of mostly being passed over by the big-name free agents, the Los Angeles Angels finally have reeled one in and weakened AL West-rival Texas in the process by reportedly agreeing on a five-year deal with former Rangers left-hander C.J. Wilson.   The 31-year-old was the Rangers’ ace this past season, going 16-7 with a 2.94 ERA after going 15-8 with a 3.35 ERA in 2010, Wilson’s first season as a starter after transitioning from a relief role. But the Rangers really only...
