MLB Tonight | MLB Betting On Home Underdogs

The MLB tonight has two games that are currently posted with the home team being the underdog on the money line. In MLB betting home underdogs can pay off. I always like to look at the MLB games that have home underdogs. In baseball, home field advantage can mean a lot if the circumstances are right.

The two games in the MLB tonight to look at both have division rivals playing each other. The first has the New York Yankees at home against the Boston Red Sox. In the 2nd game the Atlanta Braves are visiting the Florida Marlins. I mention that they are division rivals, as that is one of the things to look for when considering MLB betting on a home underdog.

The Braves have John Smoltz who is 2-0 and pitching extremely well up against Ricky Nolasco at 1-0. Nolasco struggled in his last outing, giving up 6 runs and seven hits, two of them home runs, in five innings. The game is the last of a 3 game series and the Marlins are looking for a sweep.

MLB betting shows the money line at +135 if you bet on the Marlins. There is some risk involved, but Florida has been winning games and if they get average pitching their offence could win it. I think it comes down to John Smoltz, if he has a good game and keeps the Marlins off the bases then the Braves have a good chance to win. But, if the Marlins get ahead by a run or two, then they could sweep the series.

MLB betting will often come down to pitching performance and this game is no exception. But, for games against division rivals, the home team has the advantage when you look at the historical stats. MLB betting systems should look at that statistic for home under dog games. Both of the games in the MLB tonight fit the criteria.

The Yankees and Red Sox are arguably the biggest rivalry in the MLB tonight and every night they play. Tonight they are a home under dog as well and MLB betting systems takes note.

Last night's 15-9 win for the Yankees shows that there's a lot of potential runs in a game between these teams. Both pitchers come into tonight's game with high ERA's. Josh Beckett beat the Yankees at home on Saturday and the Red Sox are hoping he can do the same thing in the Bronx. Mike Mussina was the losing pitcher that night and will be looking to redeem himself at home. He has struggled against the Red Sox in his last 4 starts against them and the Yankees lost all 4.

The money line is +115 for the Yankees. It is not a lot of extra gain on your bet, but it is some. You need to decide if the pitching match up fits your risk factor. There is a lot of offence on both teams and often the starting pitchers are not the ones who determine the out come of the games between these 2 teams. It's the high power offences that impact the game the most and both teams are capable of putting up a lot of runs.

MLB betting has a lot of factors and is not always straight forward. It can be made easier by using a MLB betting system. The SportsBettingChamp System has a winning record and makes low risk winning picks. Each day you don't have it is a day that a win could pass you by. The MLB tonight has potential on the money line.
