MLB Baseball Betting: Best Teams To Bet The “Under” – June 1st 2010

Low scoring games have become a trend across baseball, and here at BetUS Sportsbook, we’re looking at why the MLB odds have been stacked for ‘unders’ of late on the diamond.

Season Standings
1: Baltimore Orioles (32-17-2) – It’s hard to think that an offense that has been scoring an average of 3.37 runs per game this season could be getting worse by the minute, but that’s exactly what is happening. It’s a shame that the O’s are already 21 games under .500 considering the fact that the staff feels like it has improved from a year ago (though a 4.66 ERA is still nothing to write home about).

2: San Diego Padres (29-17-4) – The Padres have only committed 22 errors all season long, putting them fifth in the bigs in that category. Parlay that defense with a pitching staff that has a sub-3.00 ERA for the year (2.98), and the recipe is ripe for a ton of ‘under’ games. Give the Pads come credit for holding off the suddenly surging Dodgers as well. Though they probably won’t stay in first place all season long, they’re certainly going to be an interesting team to watch.

3: St. Louis Cardinals (31-19-1) – If not for the fact that the Cards have scored at least seven runs in three of their L/4 games, they would probably have the best record against the MLB odds for ‘under’ bettors for the season. This pitching staff just continues to be crazy. The Redbirds have held five of their L/6 foes to three runs or less and continue to lead baseball in team ERA with just a 2.95.

Who’s Hot?
1: Philadelphia Phillies (6-0) – Here’s how you know that you’re going to play a ton of ‘under’ games: Your offense scores a grand total of seven runs over its L/8 games and you have a perfect game thrown by RHP Roy Halladay in the process. Amazingly, one of the most potent looking offenses in baseball has been offensive, for lack of a better term. Somehow, the Phils scored four runs in three games and went 2-1 against the Marlins to show for it. That offense had better get kicked into gear soon, or Philly will be on the outside of the playoff picture looking in.

2: Baltimore Orioles (5-1) – No one is as offensively challenged right now as the two-time defending National League champs are, but the Orioles aren’t very far behind. They have only plated three runs over their L/3 games and nine in their L/9 overall. With games coming up against the Yankees and Red Sox, how on earth does Baltimore think that it is competing with offensive production like that?

3: New York Mets (4-2) – The Mets played a pair of contrasting series last week. Their three-game set at Milwaukee was relatively predictable, but the 34 straight donuts that went on the board over a span of five games, including three shutouts against the Phillies was the really impressive ‘under’ stretch in the Big Apple.
