Baseball Betting: Be Careful Betting the Yankees

November 30th, 2010 Betting on MLB Baseball

The Major League Baseball team with the highest payroll and one of the biggest followings is the New York Yankees. Betting on the Yankees is popular for many baseball betting players, but if you want to make money betting the Yankees you must be careful.

The 2007 New York Yankees are full of talent but they are also extremely overpriced. The Yankees have one of the best lineups in all of baseball but they have a very old and weak pitching staff. That makes betting Yankee games dangerous.

Did you know that even though the Yankees oftentimes have a winning record straight up they usually cost baseball betting players money? The reason for this is that they are always overpriced. Keep in mind that you have to be careful betting the Yankees. You can make money betting them but it is not easy because you have to be very selective in betting their games.

The Yankees will probably continually disappoint you if you have money on them. The public loves to bet the Yankees which means you as a baseball bettor are continually going to get a bad price. This means you will lose money even if the Yankees win more games than they lose. Not a pleasant prospect is it?

There will be occasions the Yankees look attractive but you really have to be selective. You can’t bet all of the Yankee games and win. That is a fact of life. You can, however, pick your spots and find situations in which the Yankees may be in good situations. The problem you have is that the even when the Yankees win they will still be overpriced. That creates a definite problem for you looking for value against the baseball betting odds at sportsbooks.

What you might want to consider with the 2007 New York Yankees is betting their games over the total. They have a weak pitching staff for the most part and a potent lineup. That means they should score a lot of runs and give up a lot of runs. That can mean you can make money betting the over on their totals. Keep that in mind this baseball betting season as you look at New York Yankee games.
