As they have been a perennial baseball wagering online contender for the past decade plus, MLB wagering expectations are always high for the Red Sox at the sports book. As the Boston Red Sox have been uncharacteristically under the baseball wagering online radar for the majority of the year, MLB wagering news for 2010 has been unusually quiet from Beantown.



The Yankees have been dominating the American league East Division for the majority of the year and had a secure lead on the Tampa Bay Rays, who had a firm grip on the wild card spot in the American league.

After being one of the biggest money losers on the board with the MLB prospects, the Boston Red Sox have quietly climbed into the black with much better play as they went 14-9 from July 22-August 14 and inched closer to the slumping Rays in the process.

As they rated 2nd in run production, Boston is one of the top offensive squads in the major leagues, while their pitching staff has continued to be sporadic as it rated 18th for staff earned run average.

The staff allowed vital walk off losses last week to Toronto and Texas with the sports wagering lines which make things more annoying as they wasted time gaining more ground on Tampa Bay. Boston has also endured essential injuries to competitors such as 1st baseman Kevin Youkilis, who is out for the year.

Outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury hasn’t performed well recently when able to play and he has been suffering from a sore left side that caused him to leave a game early last weekend.

Another MLB wagering concern was second baseman Dustin Pedroia who fractured his left foot and had to rehab with AAA Pawtucket. He’s expected to be back by now.

On the plus side in sports gambling odds, outfielder JD Drew has been hitting the ball with a .368 mark throughout a 5 game stretch during which he had 4 home runs. Closer Jonathan Papelbon has been sporadic this year with a 3.20 earned run average and 6 blown saves. Daniel Bard blew 5 more saves for Boston.

Between that and the sluggish April start that coincided with Tampa Bay bolting out of the gate with a major lead, the ground to make up for Boston has been long and hard however they closed the gap to within 4 matches.
