MLB Best Bets Today August 11
A new week begins on the diamond with 11 games on August 11. Sixteen teams participate in intraleague contests, while six of them play interleague games. We have a few division matchups and Boston’s brutal schedule continues on with the Astros in Alex Bregman’s return to Houston. The Battle of Los Angeles is not only a great Rage Against The Machine album, but also what we have between the Dodgers and Angels.
Home teams are favored in eight of today’s 11 games and all of the NL action, so we’ll see if the dogs are barking or if the chalk holds up. One other observation before today’s games – the Rays have been taking a lot of sharp money overnight and early in the morning. They are 57-62, but have a 64-55 record by Pythagorean Win-Loss and 61-58 by BaseRuns.
