Weekend Clash Between New York Yankees And Seattle Mariners

MLB Comments Off

May 252011

This weekend the Seattle Mariners will lock horn with the New York Yankees. This series will be very important for both teams as they continue to compete as these teams are both in contention for their respective divisions this season.

In baseball betting lines odds, Seattle is at 125-1 whereas the Yankees are among the top favorites to win the World Series, at 5-1.

Even though the Mariners are just 1.5 games behind the leading Texas Rangers, they are the 3rd place team in the NL West. While the Mariners have now won 6 games in a row and they look like a team that could compete in the NL West, they looked like they were on their way towards a last place finish.

The Mariners will send Pineda and Hernandez to the mound in this series, which is good news for them. Both of these pitchers are a major reason for the recent success of the Mariners as they have been on as of late. The Yankees will have a difficult time beating Seattle, if they put up good games in this series.

Even though the Yankees have found their way back into the first place position in the AL East, they were counted as dead by many teams. It is not encouraging that they are only in first place because Tampa Bay has played awfully as of late while they are in first place again. The Yankees need to win this series to stave them off as the Red Sox and Blue Jays are in hot pursuit.

In this series, the Yankees will send AJ Burnett, Ivan Nova and Bartolo Colon to the mound.

Weekend Clash Between Los Angeles Angels And Texas Rangers

This weekend the Texas Rangers will lock horn with the Los Angeles Angels. As these teams are fighting for the top spot in a crowded American League West Division, this should be an exciting series. In this series the Rangers will be the home team.

For the Rangers the home field advantage could prove to be the difference in this series. Even though they have posted a 12-7 record while at their home field, they have been a very poor team playing away from their home field. The Angels are a solid road team as this being said. This season they have already collected 12 wins on the road. With a 20-15 record they are atop the division. At 18-17 on the season the Rangers are tied for 2nd place.

While the Rangers are at 30-1, MLB Odds have the Angels at 20-1 to win the World Series.

Because of the Angels’ stellar starting pitching, they have had so much success on the road this season. Between Jered Weaver and Dan Haren, they have two of the best pitchers in the Major Leagues. They have a shot at going the distance and shutting out their opponents, each time that these pitchers take the mound.

In this series the Angels will be fortunate to have both of these pitchers take the mound. Early in their starts the Rangers will need to jump on both of these pitchers. As they go deeper into games they tend to get stronger.

In opposition to a dominant defense this will be a matchup of a dominant offense. When the series is over the winner of this series could end up as the top team in the division. In online free picks, the Texas Rangers are favorites to win this match.

2010 MLB Playoffs: Atlanta Braves-San Francisco Giants series

Oct 052010

It may have taken both the Atlanta Braves and San Francisco Giants until the very last day of the season to secure a playoff berth, but both teams can now breathe a small sigh of relief knowing that they will be a part of the 2010 MLB playoffs. With Atlanta winning the Wild Card berth, the Braves will travel to San Francisco to open the best of 5 NLDS beginning on Thursday, October 7th.

The season’s head to head matchup was won by the Atlanta Braves 4 games to 3 with 3 of their victories coming at home. Home field advantage should play a pretty big role in this series as San Francisco sports a 49-32 record at their home ball park, while Atlanta has just a 35-46 road record for the season. Compare that to the Braves’ 56-25 home record and the Braves will probably end up regretting losing the division crown the Philadelphia Phillies.

San Francisco also has a slight edge entering this series with the way they have been playing recently. Fighting for their playoff lives every night the last few weeks have forced the Giants to stay sharp and be on top of their game. The Giants enter this series having won 7 of their last 10 games, while the Braves are an even 5 and 5 in their last 10.

The pitching matchup also appears to favor the Giants in this NLDS series. The first 3 games’ scheduled starters are as follows:

Game 1 – Lincecum vs Lowe
Game 2 – Hanson vs Cain
Game 3 – Sanzchez vs Hudson

If San Francisco can win the first two games at home behind their two best pitchers, they should have no problem closing out the Braves for the series win.

To kick off the second half of the season the Tampa Bay Rays travel to New York on Friday to take on the Yankees in a weekend series. This match up will pit the two best teams in all of baseball against each other with first place in the AL East on the line. Tampa Bay trails New York in the AL East standings by only 2 games and will look to make up some ground this weekend.

The Rays, who have won 7 of 8 overall and are 10-1 on the road against AL East teams, will look to increase their series lead against the Yankees. Tampa leads in head to head competition 3-2, but will face a tough task this time around.

There are a handful of intriguing pitching match ups for this weekend as well starting with Friday night’s game which will see Yankee’s ace C.C. Sabathia take the mound against James Shields. Shields is hoping to improve on his 2-7 record and 5.54 ERA in 11 career starts against the Yankees with a strong performance Friday night. Saturday’s match up is Jeff Niemann vs A.J. Burnett while Sunday boasts the best match up of the series with 2 all stars, David Price and Andy Pettitte, facing each other.

The Yankees will wear patches on their uniforms the rest of the year to honor both men. It is expected that there will also be a small tribute to both men before the start of Friday’s contest.
