MLB gambling excitement is getting to a fever pitch stage as the playoff competitions are now in full swing with plenty of major matches to handicap with the Major League Baseball lines. Major League Baseball wagering focus on the AL playoff competition shows 3 leading wild card competitors to make for 6 teams that have a shot at the post season Major League Baseball lines.



The New York Yankees were only a game and a half ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East with the Red Sox lurking around as a wild card contender after sleep walking through the majority of the season.

The Detroit Tigers have begun to blow up and fell 4 matches below the .500 mark in the AL Central while the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins were also separated by only a game and a half.

The Texas Rangers were in firm command of the AL West with the Oakland Athletics putting up a weak challenge as they fought to retain a .500 record.

Online baseball wagering odds makers can focus on what should be an exciting sprint to the wild card spot as Tampa Bay led Boston by 4.5 matches with Minnesota at 5 matches out. The Toronto Blue Jays, Oakland, and also Los Angeles Angels are underdogs and would require the leading tier teams to collapse.

At this time of year one of the handicapping worries to bear in mind are potential spoiler teams that have nothing to play for but could be dangerous competitors for the contenders.

Despite the fact that they have far and away the worst record in the AL, they defeated the baseball lines in 4 consecutive matches after Buck Showalter took over as new manager, so the Baltimore Orioles are just such a team.

Showalter will be wanting to instill a great work ethic the remainder of the season so Baltimore could play with a great deal more vigor and intensity than would typically be the situation for a last place team.

Despite their winning record the Twins have actually shown a money loss for the season as they have become something of a Major League Baseball gambling overlay based on last year’s playoff run and the excitement of their new home at Target Field this year.

The Chicago White Sox have been a highly lucrative team as they began slow, put everyone to sleep, and have been clicking since the beginning of June.

The New York Yankees are barely in the black as a team that is always one of the most expensive, even with the best record in the AL.
