MLB Picks: Cincinnati Reds vs Philadelphia Phillies Live MLB Odds

Philadelphia Phillies vs Cincinnati Reds Free MLB Picks: The Cincinnati Reds are the streakiest team in the majors, and right now they are on a downward spiral. The Reds were swept by the Pirates and Indians last week, and they started this week out with a blowout loss in Philadelphia.

The Phillies offense had been struggling in a big way, but last night they pushed ten runs across the plate. Chase Utley didn’t get a hit, but his return seemed to provide an emotional lift that this team needed.

St. Louis Cardinals vs Philadelphia Phillies Free MLB Predictions

St. Louis Cardinals vs Philadelphia Phillies Free MLB Predictions:  Two of the top teams in the National League square off in MLB betting action on Tuesday night, as the Philadelphia Phillies (25-15, +$453) duke it out with the St. Louis Cardinals (23-19, -$25).

There’s definitely something wrong with the offense for the Phillies right now. They only rank No. 16 in the league at 4.18 runs per game, and they don’t rank in the top half of the league in any major category. Of course, we know that Chase Utley hasn’t picked up a bat yet in the big leagues this year, and we know that replacing Jayson Werth will be difficult, but the rest of the bats just don’t have an excuse.

Free MLB Picks: Phillies vs Cardinals MLB Picks

St. Louis Cardinals vs Philadelphia Phillies Free MLB Picks: The Phillies and the Cardinals are both coming off a series loss at the hands of their divisional rivals. The Phillies dropped two out of three in Atlanta after the Braves managed to beat Roy Halladay on Sunday afternoon.

The Cardinals were swept out of Cincinnati and they are now in second place in the National League Central. How will these teams respond? ESPN will have coverage of this battle at Busch Stadium Monday night.

Cliff Lee will be on the mound for the Phillies. Lee would be the ace for just about anyone else in the league, but he is part of the Phillies amazing starting pitching rotation. While Lee hasn’t been bad this year, he hasn’t been at his absolute best.

MLB Free Picks: Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees MLB Picks


New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox MLB Free Picks: Sunday Night Baseball betting action doesn’t get any better than this. The Boston Red Sox are going to be taking on the New York Yankees in the Bronx in a nationally televised MLB Betting affair that really could go either way, and sparks are almost always certain to fly when these two hook up on the diamond.

It’s hard to think that the Red Sox haven’t been above .500 this season, they’ve come close time and time before, but they have yet to get over the hump. This could be the first time that they have been at .500 since Opening Day as well. Give the Sox credit. They have won four of the five meetings this year between these two behemoths, and they are 6-1 in their last seven and 11-3 in their last 14.

MLB Picks: Houston Astros Vs Cincinnati Reds Free Picks

Cincinnati Reds Vs Houston Astros  MLB Free Picks: MLB betting fans will love to get a piece of the NL Central action on Tuesday night, as the Cincinnati Reds (19-16, -$113) take on the Houston Astros (13-22, -$665) at Minute Maid Park.

The Reds have been a respectable road team this year at 9-7, but a lot of that is thanks to this current road trip, which has featured three wins against just one loss against the ‘Stros and the Chicago Cubs.

Last night’s 6-1 win with Travis Wood on the mound was a solid one for Manager Dusty Baker and company, as it was the fifth in seven games against Houston this year. Homer Bailey was supposed to be “the next big thing” for the Reds a couple years ago when he came up, but he really hasn’t live up to his hype as of yet. Of course, we know that he only just turned 25 years old a week ago, and he has a ton of potential.

Playoff NBA Picks: Chicago Bulls vs Atlanta Hawks Free Picks

Atlanta Hawks vs Chicago Bulls Playoff NBA Picks: Things are getting awfully shaky for the Atlanta Hawks, as they have lost home court advantage once and now need to win at least one more game at the United Center to move on to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Chicago Bulls will hope to get rid of these pesky Hawks once again in Game 4 to take a 3-1 series lead, while Atlanta is going to try to level the NBA Free Picks proceedings up in this series.

The Bulls are finally starting to really look like one of the best teams in the league, and they finally think that they have the best team in the Eastern Conference and a phenomenal chance of getting to the NBA Finals. Derrick Rose is not only the league’s MVP from the regular season, but he is, almost certainly without a doubt, the MVP of the playoffs as well. Rose had the best game of his career in Game 3 on the road here at Phillips Arena, scoring 44 points to go with seven assists.

NBA Free Picks: Los Angeles Lakers vs Dallas Mavericks NBA Picks


Dallas Mavericks vs Los Angeles Lakers NBA Free Picks: The defending champs are officially on the ropes. The Los Angeles Lakers lost the first two games of their NBA playoffs betting affair with the Dallas Mavericks at Staples Center, and now, they have to win at least one of the next two at the American Airlines Center just to stay alive in the Western Conference Semifinals.

It's not all that often that we see a Head Coach Phil Jackson team loses its composure, but that's what has happened to the Lakers this week. There just seems to be some dysfunction going on right now for the men in purple and gold, and this just isn't going to cut it against a team as b as the Mavs.

Atlanta Braves vs Milwaukee Brewers Free MLB Picks

Atlanta Braves vs Milwaukee Brewers MLB Free Picks: The Milwaukee Brewers and Atlanta Braves both had high expectations for this season, but both have started the year off slowly. The good news for these teams is that we are only a month into the season, and there is plenty of time to turn it around.

The Braves took the first game of this series on Monday evening behind another solid pitching performance by Jair Jurrjens. It will be a matchup of two talented young pitchers in this one.

NBA Free Picks Dallas Mavericks vs Los Angeles Lakers NBA Picks


Los Angeles Lakers vs Dallas Mavericks NBA Free Picks : It's been awfully difficult to sort out the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers this year, as both teams have 61 wins to show for their work through one round of the playoffs, and both needed six games to get rid of their first round foes. The two will meet in what should be an absolutely remarkable second round series in NBA playoffs betting action starting on Monday night.

#3 Dallas Mavericks (61-27 SU, 49-36-3-0 ATS)

How They Got Here: Dallas has really gotten here on the strength of Dirk Nowitzki. The argument really could be made that Dirk was the MVP of the team this year, as the Mavs would've had one of the best records in the league and probably would've been No. 1 in the West without that bad stretch of games in which he was out of the lineup.
