It’s going to be a great weekend of Major League Baseball. Of course, every day in Major League Baseball there are teams that win against the spread. Now, we are going to give you the best MLB lines picks for the weekend.
Best Weekend MLB Betting Against the Spread Picks
Friday May 20, 2016
On Friday, the New York Yankees are an underdog in Oakland against the Athletics. Both of these teams have been pretty poor. C.C. Sabathia is on the mound against Sonny Gray. Neither of these guys have been dominating to start the season. Look for both guys to get hit a little bit, and the game will come down to the bullpen. The team with the best bullpen is the New York Yankees. That’s why we like the Yankees against the spread in this game. Take the New York Yankees +114 over the Oakland Athletics on Friday.
The Boston Red Sox are at home with the Cleveland Indians on Friday. Corey Kluber will take on Clay Buchholz of the Boston Red Sox. Kluber is 2-5 on the season, while Buchholz is 2-3. This is not the Corey Kluber of old, and this Boston team can really hit. Look for the Red Sox to get all over Kluber, especially at Fenway Park. One of the best Against the Spread bets for Major League Baseball this weekend is the Boston Red Sox +112 over the Cleveland Indians on Friday.
Saturday May 21, 2016
On Saturday, another underdog is the Atlanta Braves. It’s hard to ever bet on the Atlanta Braves, but they will take on a struggling Adam Morgan of the Philadelphia Phillies. The Braves Williams Perez is 1-1 on the season, with a 4.78 earned run average. Look for Atlanta to jump all over Morgan and find a rare win. The Phillies have played well, but a home loss to the Braves will hurt that a bit. The bet for Saturday against the spread is the Atlanta Braves +144 over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Sunday May 22, 2016
On Sunday, Ubaldo Jimenez and the Baltimore Orioles are slight underdogs on the road at the Los Angeles Angels. Angels are throwing Jered Weaver at the Orioles. There is going to be offense in this game, which benefits the Orioles. If you want a game between the Orioles and Angels to be a slugfest, you will favor Baltimore every time. In a long, high scoring, sloppy baseball game, one of the best Against the Spread bets for Major League Baseball is the Baltimore Orioles +112 over the Los Angeles Angels.
The final Against the Spread bet for this weekend we want to give to you is the Houston Astros on Sunday. They are at home against their rival, the Texas Rangers. The Rangers are sending Derek Holland to the mound against Dallas Keuchel of the Houston Astros. Keuchel has struggled, but we are expecting him to revert back to old ways in this game against Texas. One of the best Against the Spread bets for the weekend is the Houston Astros +120 over the Texas Rangers on Sunday.
There you go. That’s the best Against the Spread bets for Major League Baseball this weekend. Enjoy the weekend!
