As for as baseball betting is concerned, PinBet internet sportsbook seems to be still lost in the afterglow of the MLB All-Star game in Detroit.  Perhaps it was the booze, or late night parties with Kid Rock and Eminem.  It may have been they stuck their mouth in a tailpipe from one of Detroit’s finely crafted automobiles.  They are, after all, known for such things.  Not killing people with carbon monoxide poisoning, but rather making cars.  Regardless of the reasoning, we know that PinBet sportsbook is doing something other than baseball handicapping, and we can only attribute that to the mlb home run derby and baseball All-Star festivities

PinBet Sportsbook Candian football betting
No, the game of the day at PinBet sportsbook belongs to Canadian football betting, for reasons that are beyond my understanding.  It appears that the Toronto Argonauts are playing the B.C. Lions, and people everywhere are rejoicing at the fact.  We, on the other hand, are here to talk baseball, and as a result, have only the baseball futures to look forward to, at least where PinBet sportsbook is concerned.

PinBet Sportsbook baseball futures betting

The National League pennant can be divided into two sets of logic.  One being that the St. Louis Cardinals will demolish all comers, beating them to death with finely carved baseball bats, leaving nothing save “Louisville Slugger” imprints on their foreheads.  To no one’s surprise, the Cards are getting a paltry +150 at PinBet Sportsbook, to take the pennant.  The second school of thought is that one of these outsiders, these so-called baseball teams that have spent the last few months requesting autographed photos from Albert Pujols, can get hot and win the damn thing.  Well, as a baseball handicapper and bettor, this is what you hope for when you bet futures.  You go for the long shot, the Giacomo, the once in a lifetime baseball wager that will help you reach retirement, or at least pay off the man who will break your legs next week.  With PinBet sportsbook, there is only one baseball team worth taking, given the enormous lack of respect they are being given.  While most sportsbooks gives this baseball team, these pseudo-Expos, at worst 5 to 1, PinBet online sportsbook has granted them an 8 to 1 payout.  PinBet is clearly betting the farm on the fact that the Nationals will fade, for even the Marlins are getting half those sport odds, and they might not even make the playoffs.

American Leaguers are not so fortunate.  Every major contender is being given a jarful of respect Kool-Aid, with PinBet sportsbook hovering the line at around 3½ to one for the four horseman of the baseball apocalypse – the Yanks, Sox, White Sox, and Angels.  Strangely enough, however, it is the Yankees that are given the poorest of odds, which makes one wonder if these odds have changed since the mlb baseball season began.  If PinBet sportsbook hasn’t noticed, the Yankees are struggling to make the playoffs. Yet, such is the fear of the mighty Yankees, that they won’t even adjust the line even a smidgeon.  If it were my sportsbook, I’d put it at 5 to 1, then watch as the suckers bet their very livelihood on the Yankee machine.  After all, this machine is old and running on fumes, and I would recommend finding a betting exchange and playing bookie.  With the sportsbooks scared to give a fair price, it might be a good market to sell Yankee stock.

Pinnacle Sportsbook baseball betting

With the MLB Home Run Derby in the books, we now turn our focus to the rest of the week’s events, including the MLB All-Star game in Comerica Park, and more specifically Pinnacle sportsbook’s coverage of the event.

With the MLB Home Run Derby in the books, we now turn our focus to the rest of the week’s events, including the MLB All-Star game in Comerica Park, and more specifically Pinnacle sportsbook’s coverage of the event.

Betting baseball, in particular exhibition baseball, is an inexact science at best, where only monkeys with typewriters and brain dead gypsies can claim to know what will happen for certain.  For the rest of us, let us examine what we can. 

Pinnacle online sportsbook offers one of the most attractive baseball over lines in the sportsbook industry, a whopping +109.  This is fourteen cents higher than what the standard has been, an amazing number for those who think this will go over.  However, the consensus with sportsbooks is that this baseball game will go under the required 9.5 runs, namely because of the lack of star power in the lineup.  However, baseball is a game of pitching, and bad pitching usually nets high scoring baseball games.  We point to the injury of Roy Halladay, the lack of Pedro, and the overall sanity or lack thereof of Kenny Rogers, and we see an over that’s right for the plucking.  A six to four baseball game would do the trick. 

While most internet sportsbooks have been conservative in their support of the American League, Pinnacle sportsbook is supporting them in full, or rather, under the impression they will win.  The -134 money line is proof of that.  However, Pinnacle sportsbook is also being cautious and discouraging betting on the +1.5 line, offering it at -171.  Although the -1.5 line at +161 for the American League is higher than most sportsbooks, we sense a bear trap, the kind that makes the average Joe spend his last five bucks on lottery tickets.  If you are hell bent on betting the American League, we suggest a different sportsbook.  However, if you want to take the Nationals or the over line, there is no better sportsbook than Pinnacle.

On the baseball proposition front, Pinnacle internet sportsbook does not offer anything on the All-Star baseball game itself.  Rather, Pinnacle sportsbook offers a number of different props on the rest of the MLB baseball season, from betting baseball batting champions to save leaders.  For example, Derek Lee is getting a horrifying -202 to win the National League batting title, due to his insurmountable lead.  A far more interesting baseball proposition would be the National League Home Run champion, where Lee and Andruw Jones are both getting more than two to one.  We like Derrek Lee at +346, and for you longshot hunters, two players tying +900.  With both Lee and Jones seemingly going down to the wire, only a fool would take Jones and his paltry +245 in lieu of these other options.
