Sports Marketplace – MLB Edition

Recapping Last Week

Marketwatch got a dominating victory last week, powered by Washington’s 17 runs against Baltimore. Jayson Werth and Danny Espinosa led the way for the Nats, combining to go six for eight at the plate, with three homeruns and nine RBI’s, in the Nationals’ 17-5 win over the Orioles.

New York Mets +134 over Philadelphia Phillies

In our Memorial Day weekend edition of Marketwatch, Philadelphia and Roy Oswalt (3-2, 2.77 ERA) are in New York to take on the Mets and Chris Capuano (3-5, 5.36 ERA). These teams have met six times already this season, with the Phillies taking four of those games.

Philadelphia opened as a -133 favorite at 5Dimes and, according to our betting trends data, is currently receiving 80% of runline bets and 83% of moneyline wagers. This is one of the most lopsided games we’ve seen, in terms of moneyline betting percentage, of the season, making it a very strong candidate to be one of today’s MLB Square Plays, which are +22.9 units in 2011.

The public pounding of the Phillies has pushed the line up to -142 at 5Dimes, adding extra value for those looking to make a contrarian play in this game.

This morning, Sports Insights’ Betting Systems triggered a Smart Money Play at Sportsbook.com (+2.43 units) on the Mets, further convincing us bet against the public, shop for the best line and grab the underdog Mets.
