Players Only Sportsbook

PlayersOnly 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 PlayersOnly 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. 

PlayersOnly 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, PlayersOnly sportsbook is supporting them in full, or rather, under the impression they will win.  The -134 money line is proof of that.  However, PlayersOnly 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 PlayersOnly.

On the baseball proposition front, PlayersOnly internet sportsbook does not offer anything on the All-Star baseball game itself.  Rather, PlayersOnly 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.
