Baseball betting is full of drama and there is no more dramatic team than the New York Yankees. Everything the Yankees do is bigger or better or more tragic, or worse than anything any other team does in the bet on baseball world. And when they play the White Sox in Chicago on July 30th a win will be biggest baseball victory of the night and loss will be the greatest defeat that baseball betting fans have ever seen.
Baseball fans are accustomed to this. Afterall the Yankees are the winningest sporting franchise in the world and so should be accredited some slack for the disproportionate attention they seem to demand in and out of the bet on baseball world. And there is no denying that the Yanks are playing some great ball right now.
The Bronx Bombers got off to their usual slow start prompting outcries from the nameless baseball majority of mediocrity and prematurely labeling the season a failure. But then A-Rod came back, the team couldn’t lose and coming out of the All-Star break the Yanks are leading the AL East baseball betting standings and more than a few bet on baseball experts are calling them the best team in baseball.
The White Sox are nowhere near to being called the best team in baseball. But this is a good team. It’s had some inconsistencies in the baseball betting this year but it seems to have righted the ship and it’s just two games out of the bet on baseball lead in the AL Central.
The White Sox strength in the baseball is its pitching. The Yanks’ pitching is passable but the bats are what have worked thus far in the baseball betting for New York. But the starting rotation is heating and new free agent signings CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett are proving their worth. Mark Teixiera has been worth every penny so far and all the usual suspects (minus A-Rod) have been getting hits when needed most.
The Yankees are simply the better team in this baseball contest. Much has been made of the Yankees new park and the ease with which HRs are launched, but the Yanks have been excellent on the road as well, winning 25 of 47 baseball betting match ups outside of the Big Apple. At home the Sox have been average with a 25-23 record.
Anyway you look at it the Yanks should win this baseball betting matchup. Both teams are playing for a division title but the Yankees simply have a bigger payroll and better talent.
