MLB Betting Options Preview

March is getting closer and the battle to make the playoffs is intensifying. Nowhere more than in the AL West where Texas looks like it can finally break the Angels' stranglehold on the division.

The Rangers welcome the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, what a mouthful, for a four game set which could go a long way towards deciding the playoff destinies of both teams. Texas holds a big lead in the division going into this series and I like the Rangers to press home its advantage this weekend. Neither side has lit up the American League since the All Star break but the Rangers have the talent to step up to another level. Vladimir Guerrero will once again be at the heart of any success the Rangers enjoy. The former Angel has already shown he can turn it on against his former club and I like him to play big this weekend. With Cliff Lee and Tommy Hunter shining I like the Rangers to dominate this weekend. The Angels will be lucky to avoid a sweep. Back the Texas Rangers to win big with Sports Interaction.

All eyes will be on Los Angeles in the National League this weekend as the Dodgers welcome the Mets. Both teams are on the outside looking in as it currently stands, trailing in their divisions and in the wild card race. A big weekend for either team would make a huge difference towards the playoff picture, even in March.

Both ball clubs have been poor since the All Star break but I like the Dodgers chances of turning things around this weekend. The Mets have played above their talent level so far this season and they can only do that for so long. Los Angeles has the deeper outfit and that is going to prove telling at this time of year.

Bettors should keep an eye on momentum in this series. If New York can win one of the first two games then it could come out with two wins from the weekend. The more likely scenario is that the Mets get in a 2-0 hole early and find no way back. I like the Dodgers to sweep New York this weekend, effectively killing off the Mets playoff hopes in 2026. Bet on the Dodgers to win big this weekend with Sports Interaction.
