Add CommentThe Jays finally opened their wallets this past-offseason, bolstering their roster with the additions of R.A. Dickey, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, Jose Reyes, Melky Cabrera and others.
For the first time in a long time, Jays fans can legitimately dream of Toronto’s first World Series championship since those glory years of 1992 and 93.
Oddsmakers certainly think it’s a possibility. Toronto is one of five MLB teams who pay out less than 8:1 odds if they win the World Series in 2013.
The L.A. Dodgers are the overall favourite at Pinnacle Sports, which is offering the Dodgers at a +738 price to win it all. They’re followed by the Washington Nationals (+764), L.A. Angels (+766), Jays (+784) and Detroit Tigers (+793).
Just like there are some fresh faces at the top of the MLB futures board, there are some new World Series darkhorses. The New York Yankees (+1757), St. Louis Cardinals (+2102), Philadelphia Phillies (+2022) and Boston Red Sox …
1. If a game does not go the regulation nine innings (or 8.5, if the home team is ahead), your over/under and run line bets will be canceled.
For example, let’s say you bet over 9.5 in a game between Texas and Baltimore. Texas leads 8-6 in the seventh inning before heavy rain causes the umpires to call the game. Even though the game is considered official under MLB rules because it went at least five innings, the …

Listening to the radio today, I heard that Carolina Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller was nervous about last night’s game against the Leafs because the Canes were playing their first game after a lengthy road trip.
Such a scenario is widely perceived as a tough spot for teams. The first game back after a long road trip can almost feel like another road game for teams, plus there’s the distractions of reuniting with family and friends after being gone for a while.
It got me wondering how big of a disadvantage it is to teams. And I was surprised with what I found.
Going back through the 2011-12 NHL season, I found 97 situations when teams were on road trips of four games or longer.
Just looking at win/loss records can be misleading when it comes to betting. Since moneylines can be as high as -200 for some teams, it’s impossible to determine whether it’s profitable to blindly bet on or against teams playing their first home game after a long road trip.
So I looked …
Best team to bet on: New Jersey ($922)
The Devils are off to a fantastic start, earning a point in all but one of their first 12 games. Jersey actually lost four straight games at one point, but three of those defeats came in overtime or a shootout. Since then, the Devils have run off five consecutive wins, including impressive back-to-back wins over the Penguins. Defence has once again been key to the Devils’ success. New Jersey has held opponents to two goals or less in nine …

Brooklyn Nets -6 @ Minnesota Timberwolves
This Wolves team is totally decimated with injuries. Gone are Love, Roy, Budinger, Pekovic, and Shved. Rubio indicated that he’s still experiencing pain in his knee, and his play has been very …
It’s one of the older adages in sports betting: ride the streaks.
In other words, when teams go on an extended winning streak, keep betting on them until they lose. And if teams go into a long losing streak, keep betting against them until they win.
The reason this strategy is so popular — and generally effective — is because confidence is such a major issue in sports.
Pretty much every team in professional sports, except maybe the Blue Jackets or the Bobcats, has enough talent to beat any other team on a given day. The thing that most often separates teams is the good ones truly believe they’ll win the close games, while the bad teams are just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
That brings us to the Los Angeles Lakers.
For the majority of their history, the Lakers have been the golden child of the NBA. Always a strong and confident squad, whether they were led by Jerry West or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Magic Johnson or Kobe Bryant.
That bloom is …
