MLB Free Picks: Reds vs. 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.

MLB Picks: Philadelphia Phillies vs St. Louis Cardinals Free Picks

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.

Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees MLB Free 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.

Houston Astros vs Cincinnati Reds 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.

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 strong as the Mavs. Ron Arrest made a boneheaded play on Wednesday, basically giving a clothesline to Jose Barea at the end of the game, and as a result, he has been suspended for this encounter.

MLB Picks: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Atlanta Braves Free 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
