Even with every team closing in on having played 30 games this season, we are still looking at a small sample of the season as a whole. Yes, some teams have looked great in the opening month of the season, while others are so bad that there is no way back for them, even with over 130 games still to be played. There are some teams who have been a little up and down but who we expect to come good as the season progresses, so no one is getting to carried away with the current state of the divisions. We are taking it one week at a time, which means that it’s time to look forward to the big series that are coming this week, so let’s get to it, so you can bet against the MLB odds.

Top MLB Betting Picks of the Week 5: MLB Odds and Betting Lines | MLB Lines by MyBookie

Cleveland Guardians at New York Yankees

The Yankees are one of those teams that we are expecting to see more from this season. Right now, they are dead last in the AL East, but they do have a winning record, which should tell you just how strong that division is. The Guardians are 2 games under .500, but they are still just 3 ½ games back of the Twins in the Central. A good showing here could close the gap and potentially get them back over the .500 mark.

Pittsburgh Pirates at Tampa Bay Rays

Speaking of teams out to a fast start, we have a pair of them going head-to-head in what should be a fantastic series, with this one set to begin on Tuesday. The Pirates are 20-9 overall and have won 8 of their last 10 to take a game and a half lead in the NL Central. We have all been watching the Rays soar to the top of the AL East, but they have cooled off a little, which was to be expected given the start they got out to. This is arguably the best series on tap this week.

Texas Rangers at LA Angels

The expectation was that the Houston Astros might run away with the AL West, just as they did last year. That might still happen, but for now, it is the Texas Rangers sitting on top of the division with a 2-game lead over the Astros. We are not looking at a 2-horse race, though, as the Angels are still in the hunt, sitting 2 ½ games back of the leaders. This is an opportunity for the Angels to tighten things up even more in the West, making this a series to keep an eye on.

LA Dodgers at San Diego Padres

The NL West is another division that is incredibly tight in the early going. The Rockies, as expected, are already out of it, but you can easily make a case for the other 4 teams, who are separated by just 4 games. The Dodgers and Padres have both won 7 of their last 10 games and appear to be getting into some sort of groove, but they are both still sitting behind the Diamondbacks. This series will certainly not decide the division this early in the season, but it just might help one of these teams gather some momentum.
