Season Standings
1: Tampa Bay Rays (24-12, +$1,065) – The Rays are coming back to earth with their road record, and the end result is that the Yankees have run them down for first place in the AL East standings. The mojo for the boys from Tampa Bay right now appears to be severely lacking, especially on the road, where the team has lost four out of five after starting the year 23-7 away from Tropicana Field.
2: San Diego Padres (17-13, +$834) – For whatever reason, the oddsmakers just continue to undervalue the Padres. There’s a reason that San Diego has the best money mark in baseball, and it’s because this is a fantastic road team that just isn’t going away in the NL West title chase. Don’t be shocked to see numbers like this posted all season long, as a .500 record away from Petco Park should yield even more money for MLB betting fans.
3: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (22-18, +$752) – Since losing 1B Kendry Morales for the season to a broken leg, the Halos have been heavenly, especially on the road. They went a whopping 11-3 on a 14 game road trip to start the month of June. Since the middle of May, Anaheim is 16-6 as visitors, which is why it is well above .500 and why it is back in the AL West chase.
Who’s Hot?
1: Chicago White Sox (5-0, +$564) – Not that we’re really all that impressed by taking games in Washington and Pittsburgh, but the truth of the matter is that manager Ozzie Guillen and his crew knew that this was a portion of the schedule that just had to be dominated. Domination has commenced! The Sox are back to .500, but there is still plenty of work to do to stick around in the AL Central, where both the Twins and Tigers are playing great ball.
2: Texas Rangers (5-0, +$535) – The Rangers playing so well on the road is why the Halos still haven’t overtaken them in the AL West standings. After dropping the first game of their just completed nine-game roadie, Texas has won eight straight and has scored at least five runs in five straight games. With Pittsburgh and Houston coming to town this week, the good times should continue to roll in Arlington.
3: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (4-1, +$354) – Over the L/6 road games, the Halos have scored at least six runs four times, including putting at least ten up in a game against the Dodgers and one against the Cubs. The pitching staff has had its problems over the L/2 weeks, but things are great offensively for Anaheim, as it is up to 4.74 runs per game in spite of the fact that Morales has been out of the lineup.

Season Standings
1: Baltimore Orioles (8-29, -$1,583) – When you’re the worst team in baseball both in terms of actual record and the money standings, it doesn’t take rocket science to figure out that you’re probably the worst road team in the bigs as well. This is the only team that still hasn’t figured out how to reach double digits in away wins for the season, and with the next three road trips at Boston, Detroit, and Texas, this may not change until the end of July.
2: Arizona Diamondbacks (10-27, -$1,427) – The D’Backs are trying their best to keep the Orioles in their sights for the worst record in the bigs, but it would take a Herculean effort to pull that stunt off. At just 1-5 in their L/6 road games, the oddsmakers are starting to run out of options but to put some huge numbers on the board against Arizona, such as the +188 and +251 they were this past week.
3: Seattle Mariners (10-24, -$1,313) – The M’s may be playing great baseball right now, but the body of work for the season has been woeful at best away from Safeco Field. The offense hasn’t scored more than four runs in a road game since May 30th, and since May 28th, there have only been three road wins in 12 tries.
Who’s Not?
1: Pittsburgh Pirates (0-5, -$500) – Pittsburgh Pirates baseball. Need we say more?
2: St. Louis Cardinals (1-4, -$370) – The Bucs may not be a shock to be on this list, but the Redbirds are. Manager Tony LaRussa almost always finds a way to post winning records, especially away from Busch Stadium. A West Coast swing with stops in Arizona and Los Angeles didn’t go well at the start of the month, as the Cards went just 1-5 in those six games. St. Louis can thank the schedule makers for a lot of these road successes in the past this year though, as there hasn’t been a roadie of longer than six games all season long and there won’t be one until the end of August… and are stops in Pittsburgh, Washington, and Houston really worthwhile? Continue looking to fade these guys when matched up against credible opposition on the road.
3: Tampa Bay Rays (1-4, -$368) – Manager Joe Maddon has to wonder what’s going on with his team right now. It’s not like a 42-27 record is terrible, but for the first time in awhile, the Rays aren’t in first place in the AL East, and they are in danger of falling out of the playoff race as soon as Boston runs them down as well. A poor road trip that netted just two wins in six games against the Marlins and Braves didn’t help matters whatsoever. The MLB betting market caught up to them on the road; now it’s time to do a better job of protecting their own house!
