Sports Betting Tips

After watching both teams fall short a year ago, there is no doubt that the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees have what it takes to get back into the postseason. Philadelphia has dominated the National League West this season, and is on pace to lock up the division title and home advantage well ahead of the final two weeks. The Yankees on the other hand are faced with the challenge of simply getting into the MLB betting postseason as the biggest problem, but once they are in they could surprise.

The Phillies will be waiting for New York in the championship series, and the Yankees will thrive once they get in. There is the fortunate circumstance that the rest of the AL has taken a step back this year, and that should help the pinstripes to get in despite a lack of pitching depth that has held them back from competing with the Red Sox for first place in the month of June. That won’t matter as the Yankees go with three pitchers in the postseason, as CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett, and likely one of Bartolo Colon or Freddy Garcia gets their shot to do some damage. New York has one of the most explosive offenses in the league and one that loves the long ball, and there is no doubt that once they find their way into the big dance they will take the spotlight as World Series champions in a sports betting year that no one predicted they would win.
