Baseball odds on Saturday favor the Boston Red Sox as they host the Texas Rangers in the second game of a three-game series. The Red Sox have owned the Rangers lately, winning 15 of the last 20 games versus the MLB betting odds. Let’s take a look at this online sports betting matchup for Saturday.
MLB odds trends before this series began yesterday had the Red Sox winning 8 of the last 10 home games against the Rangers. Boston is almost always a very good team at home versus the MLB odds and that is the case again this season. The Red Sox have an offense that ranks in the Top 10 in the league as MLB odds stats show and Boston’s pitching has been solid. It should get even better as Josh Beckett rounds into form and Daisuke Matsuzaka gets back into the rotation. The Red Sox are almost always favored at home in MLB odds and recent online sports betting history has shown they more often than not end up as the winner.
Texas has been one of the surprise teams in baseball odds this season. The Rangers have been very good at home and on the road they have held their own, as they are right around the .500 mark in baseball odds. Texas almost always has a good offense and that is the case again this season as they rank in the Top 10 in the league as baseball odds stats show. The pitching for Texas is suspect but this season they are at least respectable and that has been enough for the Rangers to win games versus the baseball betting odds. If the Rangers can continue to get average pitching they could stay in the playoff race this season.
Somewhat surprisingly, there is not much to go on with the MLB odds total. You would think with these two teams matching up at Fenway Park that the games would go over but that has not always been the case. The over/under is just 5-5 versus the baseball odds in the last ten meetings in Boston. Last year, two of the three games did go over the online betting MLB odds though.
