9/23 Was a Very Interesting Day in Offshore Wagering Baseball Action. With the MLB playoff action just a few weeks away and teams scrambling for a spot in the post season right now is by far the most exciting time of the year in terms of offshore wagering baseball action. Seven months of baseball action boils down to just a just a dozen games or so of condensed action where a single win or a single loss can mean the difference between watching the post season online wagering games on TV or participating in them.
But for one brief moment in time, on Thursday September 23rd, on a day that was supposed to be all about the playoff race fans were actually distracted from that competition by a few interesting developments that really had nothing to do with online wagering companies baseball betting lines for a change.
On a day in which the New York Yankees hosted the Tampa Bay Rays in the House That Steinbrenner Built headlined the action and the matchup between Cy Yong contenders CC Sabathia and David Price was supposed to dominate the offshore wagering action it didn’t quite work out that way.
While that Yankees vs. Rays game was actually interesting, it was for the wrong reasons as the Rays routed the home team 10-3 and Sabathia, in a very rare occurrence, flopped in a late season game at home and gave up 7.0 earned runs before being yanked.
But the biggest developments of the day occurred far from New York and had more to do with individuals than team playoff races. The biggest event of the day was actually authored by former MVP and Seattle Mariner superstar Ichiro Suzuki. Suzuki collected his 200 hit of the season for the 10th straight season which makes him the only man in the history of professional baseball to ever achieve such a feat.
That deserves a pause. Even in their wildest imagination offshore wagering bookmakers would never have predicted that someone in this era of baseball would be able to accomplish such an amazing record, yet Ichiro-San has done it.
He surpassed the great Ty Cobb and Lou Gehrig on his way to the record and although Pete Rose also has 10 seasons of 200+ hits in his career he didn’t do it in 10 consecutive seasons like Suzuki.
The other individual accolade of the day included Toronto’s Jose Bautista who clubbed his 50th HR, the first man to do this since 2007. Prior to this year his career best had been 16 HR in a season. A jaded fan might expect a failed drug test to be released at any moment, but who knows maybe he just got really good at hitting HR all of a sudden.
