Season Standings
1: Arizona Diamondbacks (34-15-2) – Another week, four more ‘overs’ for Arizona mlb betting fans. This week, it was the bullpen that really imploded, particularly on Sunday against the Giants. If you had 50 guesses at which pitcher in baseball had allowed the most home runs, would you ever get to RHP Dan Haren? And you want to know why this staff has a 5.94 ERA through 51 games of the season…

2: Milwaukee Brewers (29-18-3) – Relatively speaking, it was a low scoring week for the defensively and pitching challenged Brewers. Coming into this week, the Brew Crew had only played four ‘under’ contests all season long at home. They successfully pulled that off just in this week. However, don’t think that that means that the pitching staff is getting any better. Milwaukee has still allowed an average of 5.67 runs per game in its L/9, and that includes one shutout and a one-run game.

3: New York Yankees (28-20-2) – The Bronx Bombers are having a major pitching problem right now. LHP CC Sabathia has an ERA of over 4.00, while RHP Joba Chamberlain’s is nearly 6. Scoring at least seven runs in all three games against the Indians was great over the weekend, but one would like to think that scoring 26 runs in three days would produce three wins, especially with Sabathia on the bump for one of the games… Nope. That was the loss in the bunch (13-11 on Saturday).

Who’s Hot?
1: Cleveland Indians (5-0-1) – Speaking of the Tribe, they can’t find a way to record outs right now, and it’s becoming a tremendous issue. The pitching staff hasn’t held a team under three runs in a game since May 16th, and it has allowed at least five runs in nine of its L/11. For as long as this keeps up, Cleveland is going to be stuck in ‘Over’ City, and should be the subject of your MLB picks.

2: Atlanta Braves (4-1-1) – The Braves have won five straight games and are 14-4 in their L/18 overall thanks to an offense that just keeps putting runs on the board. In this stretch, they have scored at least seven runs nine times, so regardless of what the pitching staff is up to, the reality is that plenty of ‘over’ games are going to keep happening in “Hot ‘Lanta.”

3: Seattle Mariners (4-1) – It seems like the M’s are totally hit or miss offensively of late. They have scored at least five runs in four out of five games, but have only scored exactly one run in three of their L/7. Keep in mind that this is a team that has only played one ‘under’ contest at Safeco Field since May 19th, and with a slew of home games coming up to start June, this may be a trend to keep an eye on.
