Baseball betting totals at SBG Global are something that serious players look at each year. There are a number of factors to consider when looking at totals in MLB betting including umpires. That is why every MLB betting season we want to advice you what to look at every time you wager baseball at SBG Global.
Baseball betting for some people really does involve wagering on totals. There are gamblers and handicappers that consider totals a great way to make money in baseball betting. Some of those gamblers really look at the umpire factor. Finding out the home plate umpire before each game is easy enough to do, so taking umpires into consideration when betting totals is something you should consider.
Baseball betting totals are available on every game from April until June at SBG Global. That means you have a lot of games to choose from. Looking at umpires is one way to increase your chances of winning in MLB betting. Remember that umpires rotate from first base to home plate and around the diamond so you can easily predict who the next day’s umpire will be. Also, you can go to the stats page and verify the Umpire Report. MLB stats with us also include games, matchups, team stats, pitcher stats, pitcher reports, standings, trends and injuries.
If you are looking at baseball betting totals there are some things to remember going back to the umpire trend. It seems like a good idea when you bet on baseball to follow statistics from previous years but for some reason the data doesn’t always hold true with umpires. It could be that umpires are human and not the most consistent so their trends are tough to figure out. Nevertheless, SGB Global always tries to have the best and most precise statistics for all MLB betting fans.
With baseball betting totals there are the basic stats like ERA, hitting, home/away numbers etc. Those are usually incorporated into the MLB betting line. The umpire is never taken into consideration as the oddsmakers simply don’t care who is behind the plate. This also applies to baseball bet sides since there are trends for umpires in terms of how they call a game for the home or the road team. Most people ignore this factor but there are some interesting stats to look at in regards to umpires.
There is no question that totals in baseball betting don’t get as much attention as sides. That doesn’t mean they can’t be profitable and looking at the umpire factor might just give you the added edge you need to win in MLB betting at our sportsbook.
The Chicago White Sox are the favorite of people who bet on MLB today in the opening game of a four-game series versus the Detroit Tigers at the US Cellular Field. Here are the baseball betting odds:
Everybody loves a winner and that is why the Cleveland Indians are the MLB betting favorites to defeat the Detroit Tigers tonight at Progressive Field, as we can see below:
At the start of the season the Cubs, due to their troubled history, and the Giants, due to their great acquisitions were considered the top picks for fans betting on baseball. Last weekend the Giants upset the Cubs in their series and moved on to the Padres, prolonging their run to 12 out of 13 games, culminating in a 8-2 thrashing to the San Diego Padres on Tuesday, the Giants are further cementing themselves as a top team in Major League Baseball for those who like to place the occasional baseball bet.
Tonight will see the beginning of one of a three game series that will capture the attention of all fans looking to place a baseball bet. The San Francisco Giants rolling with 8th straight wins will take on the best team in baseball right now: The Chicago Cubs (just writing that feels so… strange). The Giants are currently leading the West Division in the National League, while the Cubs reign on top of the Central division, and hold the best record in baseball right now (28-11). As the youngins would say, this is going to be lit.
Those who like to bet on baseball have to consider the fact that Mets pitching star, Steven Matz, has earned an unfortunate space on their injury report. Matz’s injury is perhaps the one that has his coaching staff and fellow players most worried. After recovering from a deficient season start he manage to pull off an 1.09 ERA. Due to recent elbow pain, he will have to be absent from the Metz next appearance. The team is hoping this event is only a minor flare up and that some rest will do the trick, however, if it turns out to be something more complicated, they will have a difficult time NL East without him and the baseball betting odds could be affected for Mets fans.
Fifth-inning baseball betting is common, but even gamblers who make that their wager of choice must have watched in disbelief as the Colorado Rockies scored 13 runs against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday night. The game ended in a 17-7 victory for the Rockies, but the real story here is of course the new record set by Colorado. It all started when Trevor Story led off the fifth with a home run, followed by another by Nolan Arenado. Each drove in three runs for a new franchise record as well as the most runs scored in an inning by any team since Arizona scored 13 in the fourth against Pittsburgh in 2010.
With the Bronx bombers dead last on the AL East division, betting on baseball on the Yankees, seems like a bad idea, right now.
The Los Angeles Angels are betting on MLB favorites (-120) – as well as winners of the all-time most redundant name in sports history – versus the Milwaukee Brewers (+110) tonight. The visiting Angels will hope to prevent their fourth defeat in five games on the arm of Nick Tropeano – who hopes to keep filling a void in the Los Angeles Angels' rotation – as Junior Guerra looks forward to giving the Brewers their second home win in a row in this series after going almost two decades without one. Monday's 8-5 series-opening victory for Milwaukee broke a four-game skid in this series and eight-game drought at home versus Los Angeles going back to 1997.
A catcher who doesn’t catch is like a coffeemaker that doesn’t make coffee or a finger that doesn’t fing. And that’s what happened to Toronto Blue Jays catcher Josh ‘Ultima’ Thole when he let a slider get past him. Caleb Joseph made the most of the mistake and slid home, sweet, home with two outs in the 10th to give the Baltimore Orioles a 4-3 win. “I just missed the ball,” Thole said afterward, crestfallen in front of his locker. “I have to catch those.” Thank you for that powerful insight into your line of work, Captain Obvious.
