With each team having around 30 games left to play in the regular season, there are visible signs of desperation from the teams still on the outside looking in at the playoffs. The New York Yankees need to get back to winning, but will have a tough time doing so against the AL Central leading Cleveland Indians. The Brewers and Cardinals are still in the Wild Card picture in the NL, but a loss for either team in this series could see their playoff hopes and your MLB betting picks severely dented. The WC race in the NL is as tight as it gets, with the Mariners and Orioles both in the thick of it. Though, make sure to take a look at the current betting odds for the MLB season here.
Analysis: To say that the Wild Card race in the AL is tight is putting things mildly. The Mariners are just 2 games out of the final spot, a mere half-game behind the Orioles. Seattle are going in the wrong direction, though, and have lost 3-straight, taking them to 5-5 in their last 10 games. Making matters worse is the fact that the Mariners are just 13-17 against teams from the East this season. It will be Ariel Miranda (8-6, 4.62 ERA) who starts this one.
The Baltimore Orioles have come out of nowhere to haul themselves right back into the playoff picture. They are a game and a half out of the final WC spot, and arrived there courtesy of their current 5-game winning streak. The Orioles have been particularly tough to beat in their own building, going 39-26 to this point in the season. They will send Ubaldo Jimenez (5-9, 6.57 ERA) to the mound for this one.
