As we start up the second half of the MLB season I wanted to glance at some futures bets that we may be able to take advantage of.
You all know me and know I LOVE VALUE. For example, I bet Suns to win their division back in Feb at +1000 when they had a 2 game lead in the division over the Clippers and Lakers. Granted, many thought both those teams would turn it on and overtake the Suns but there was too much value at 10:1 to pass on it.
So can we find some here in MLB? Let's talk this out and maybe our MLB expert @Heavy_Steps will weigh in on this.
I'm seeing I can get A's at +500 who are only 3.5 games back and you never know when they will go on a BIG winning streak. Yes the Astros probably win the division BUT at +500 might be worth a small 1 unit play.
Let's also take SF Giants to win at +350. They are 2 games up on the Dodgers. SF is nothing fancy but ALWAYS a solid team. They are playing well this season so let's take the free 2 games and the +350 and hope they finish strong. You can even protect your bet with Padres +450 if you want to fade the Dodgers.
ALSO HERE'S A BEST BET:
Arizona Diamondbacks UNDER 57.5 wins -104
They have to go 34-38 the rest of the season to hit the over. THEY WON'T do that bet this big.
