MLB Odds and Picks: Top Must Bet Games and Analysis for Week 2

We are still in the very early stages of the MLB season, so it’s wise not to get too carried away with how teams are performing right now. As we have said many times in the past, the MLB season is a long one and the best teams have a way of eventually rising to the top. That said, we can’t finish this opening without giving some huge credit to the Tampa Bay Rays, who are out to an astonishing 9-0 start and a 3-game lead in the AL East. It can all change in a heartbeat, though, starting this week, so let’s look ahead to some of the series that we believe are going to be worth betting on.

Top MLB Betting Picks of the Week 2: MLB Odds and Betting Lines | MLB Betting Review by MyBookie

New York Yankees at Cleveland Guardians

A pair of teams that the bookies consider to be among the favorites to win their respective divisions meet up early in the week. The Yankees are off to a 6-3 start and are looking to stay as close to the red-hot Rays as possible. Over in the Central Division, the Guardians are 6-4 to start the season, which has them a half game out of first. Cleveland has been fun to watch, with their games averaging 9 ½ runs per game.

San Diego Padres at New York Mets

It was a bit of a concerning start to the season for the Padres, but they woke up in a big way to end last week, taking 3 in a row off the Atlanta Braves. That series actually helped the Mets, who are currently sitting behind Atlanta in the NL East. It’ll be interesting to see how these teams match up, as it seems more than a little likely that both will be in the postseason, either as division winners or through the Wild Card.

Tampa Bay Rays at Toronto Blue Jays

This series comes later in the week, and you have to wonder if the Rays, who start the week off with a series against the Boston Red Sox, will still be holding onto that perfect record. Realistically, if they can take the series versus the Sox, as well as this one, they would be in very good early shape in the East. The Blue Jays are going to be no pushover, though, although they are looking very similar to last season, which means a ton of offense and some dodgy pitching.

Texas Rangers at Houston Astros

It can take a little bit of time for some teams to get into their stride and play the way we expect them to. That is where we are right now with the World Series champion Houston Astros, who are a surprising 4-6 to start the year. They will welcome in the Texas Rangers later in the week as they look to close ground on the division leaders, who are 5-4 right now. The whole AL West is a bit of a log jam at the moment, so perhaps this series will help open things up a little bit, of course depending on how these teams perform in their opening series this week.
