Thursday Night MLB Betting Previews

Poor Michelle Beisner, now having her name dragged into the Erin Andrew’s peephole disgrace. Shouldn’t we be more concerned with the Tour de France Stage 18 results?  Let other sites worry about Omer Bhatti pictures and gossip, but we will focus on what the top baseball handicappers are worrying about.

The New York Yankees will try for a seventh straight victory tonight when they send CC Sabathia to the mound to open a four-game home series against the Oakland Athletics.

New York trailed Boston by three games entering the All-Star break, but is 6-0 since resuming play to take over sole possession of first place. The Yankees have won 19 of 26 overall to move 20 games above .500 for the first time since finishing 94-68 in 2007.

Sabathia has alternated wins and losses in his last five outings. He gave up five hits over seven scoreless innings Saturday in a 2-1 victory over Detroit.

The +230 underdog A’s are embarking on what is likely their toughest road trip, with four games in New York followed by four in Boston.

Oakland rookie Vin Mazzaro, who grew up a Yankees fan in Rutherford, New Jersey, will face New York for the first time.

As the MLB season rolls on, the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies are right where they want to be. So what deals are out there to push the two title favorites over the top?

It is believed that the Phillies are at the top of the list for who will land Roy Halladay from the Blue Jays.

Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi expects the Halladay trade talks will come to a head early next week.

Assuming the Yankees don’t want Halladay, they seem pretty content with their current roster.

New York has been very impressive lately, taking over first place and playing well overall.

As long as CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett keep doing what they are doing, the Yankees may just stick with what they got as they chase the AL Pennant.

Expect the Phillies to be the team to make a few more moves before the trade deadline. Thanks to our friends at Bodog for supplying the content.
