Baseball is a game of streaks, being played out over a schedule of 162 games, and sports bettors are often at the mercy of these fads. A major league team can have a run of eight games playing over the total, facing the fifth starter from the opposing team, and be shut down offensively like a garage door. Other times, little moments occur that set off wild sparks. The Los Angeles Dodgers held the lead for a total of two innings of the 29 they played against Arizona over the past weekend and it was enough to take two of three against the D-Backs. The euphoria carried over in scoring 19 runs the next game at Colorado, followed by; you guessed it, one run in game two of the series. Here is a look at current streaks from various MLB clubs.

First Place Tampa Bay hits the road as Favorites
MLB - The Tampa Bay Rays are embarking on a vast number of road games over the next several weeks, which might explain what their real chances will be of winning the AL East and making the postseason for the first time in team history. Tampa Bay, to this point of the year is spectacular 40-16 at home, gathering +19.3 units of profit. No team in baseball has played more home games than the Rays 56, which means the schedule has to balance up in home and road contests. Starting tonight, Tampa Bay will play 17 of next 23 away from Tropicana Field. (Free Foxsheet for this AL encounter)

Betting Baseball Statistic from Different View
MLB - The term “slugging percentage” has been around baseball for long time. For those that either don’t remember or just don’t know, how a slugging percentage is derived is taking the total bases of a hitter and divide by the number of at bats, discounting walks. What this statistic is designed to do is gauge the performance of a hitter based on all-around ability to hit for power, just not home runs. In 2001, Barry Bonds broke Babe Ruth’s record in this category with a .863 slugging percentage, besting Ruth’s mark of .847, set in 1920. What happens when you turn it around and look at these same numbers from pitching perspective?
