PlayersOnly Sportsbook baseball betting

It is a week before the mlb baseball trade deadline, a time when teams get desperate - a potential bait does everything it can to make themselves invaluable or make themselves not valuable at all.

PlayersOnly Sportsbook baseball betting
It is a week before the mlb baseball trade deadline, a time when teams get desperate - a potential bait does everything it can to make themselves invaluable or make themselves not valuable at all.  Case in point, take Gary Sheffield.  Faced with the possibility of being traded to Seattle, Sheff went on a tear, boosting the Yankees into first place for a few minutes.  On the other hand, look at a player like Jason Schmidt, who has been floated around to everyone save the Orix Blue Wave, and has thus tanked the baseball season to avoid getting traded.  At least, that’s what my personal conspiracy theorist tells me.  And no, he isn’t Mel Gibson.  Although I often wish he was, him being Jesus’ right hand man and all.

PlayersOnly Sportsbook baseball betting for the coming week
In any case, let us look to the baseball events of this Monday.  A huge beef we have with PlayersOnly internet sportsbook is their blatant disregard for labeling pitchers on their baseball overnight lines.  Rather, we are given the city names in parenthesis, as if we didn’t know the Astros play in Houston, the Phillies play in Philadelphia, and the Angels play in Los Angeles.  Although technically, they play in Anaheim.  I’m assuming also that the home baseball team is listed in the bottom slot, although in this business, it’s hard to assume anything.  We need the sportsbooks to spell things out for us, if only to protect our own hides.

PlayersOnly Sportsbook baseball betting pitching matchups
After going on Yahoo to check the baseball pitching matchups, we found a delightful one with the inconsistent Barry Zito going up against the always reliable C.C. Sabathia.  Yes, Zito has been red hot, and PlayersOnly sportsbook has acknowledged as much, giving the A’s -185.  That’s exactly why it’s time to go the other way, and the Indians are not a shabby baseball team, and Sabathia is not a shabby baseball pitcher. Take the +165.
Staying in the American league, PlayersOnly sportsbook is giving a healthy -150 to Orioles at home against a converted reliever, some douche named Joaquin Benoit.  While his ERA of 2.32 may seduce you, most of that was done in relief work.   As a starter, he’s been pretty much shelled, albeit his lone start was against the Yankees.  Besides, betting on a man named Joaquin Benoit is virtually gambling suicide.  Take the O’s.

PlayersOnly Sportsbook baseball betting futures
On the baseball future front, PlayersOnly sportsbook has actually removed all action on the mlb World Series and the pennant races.  While some might say it is a bit premature for such an act, perhaps there has been a large amount of betting on a particular baseball team, and to protect themselves PlayersOnly sportsbook has closed shop.  Either way, the only future baseball betting you have on PlayersOnly online sportsbook will be for baseball games a day in advance.
