MLB Weekly Betting Roundup May 20

MLB Weekly Betting Roundup May 20, Almost a quarter of the 2015 MLB regular season schedule is already in the books so bettors should have a pretty good feel for how all 30 teams are going to shake-out this season. There have definitely been a few surprises out of the gate along with a couple of favorites living-up to all the preseason hype.

One of the biggest surprises continues to be the steady and consistent play of the Houston Astros in the American League West through Tuesday night’s action. They not only have the best record in the AL at 26-14, they have produced the top return on Bookmaker.eu’s MLB money line odds in the Majors at + $1336. Most of the money has been made on the Astro’s play on the road with a +$1012 return on an impressive record of 12-4.

Right on their heels in the AL are the Kansas City Royals, who currently have a 2.5-game lead over Detroit in the Central Division with a record of 25-14. Their return on a money line bet sits at a profitable +$1041 with an excellent balance between playing at home (+$626) and on the road (+$415). The Royals have been a solid bet all season long as underdogs with a MLB betting record of 11-5.

The Tampa Bay Rays and the New York Yankees continue to set the early pace in the AL East with both teams going 22-18 in their first 40 games. Tampa Bay is +$400 on the money line return while the Yankees are +$280.

The top betting team in the National League continues to be the St. Louis Cardinals, who also have the best record in the Majors at 26-13. They have returned a total of $749 to the USA online Sportsbook betting fans this season behind a solid 21-10 record as favorites.

Another preseason favorite to win their division has gotten off to a fast start with the Los Angeles Dodgers leading the way in the NL West. They are 3.5 games ahead of San Francisco behind a record of 24-14 and their return on Bookmaker Bitcoin & Credit Card USA online Sportsbook MLB money line stands at +$201. They have been a profitable +$564 at home with a record of 17-5, but the Dodgers’ 7-9 losing mark on the road has cost bettors a -$363.

The Washington Nationals opened the season as prohibitive favorites to once again win the NL East and while they have been able to overcome a very slow start out of the gate to improve to 23-17 on the year, they have still been costly to wager on with an overall loss of -$22 on the year. However, this could be one of the best MLB teams to go with right now after winning eight of their last 10 games. Top
