In the American League, it looks like the races in the East and the Central are winding down, as Boston has maintained that big lead over the Yankees (currently at 8 ½ games) and Cleveland leads the Twins by 15 ½ games. Houston has won seven of 10 but still can’t shake those Oakland A’s, who sit just 2 ½ games out of first in the AL West. In the National League, all of the races remain close, none closer than the NL West, with Colorado leading the Dodgers by just a half-game and Arizona by 2 ½ games. The Cubs are only two games ahead of Milwaukee, and Atlanta is just 4 ½ games ahead of Philadelphia. With about three weeks left in the regular season, we have put together some MLB betting picks for you to consider over the next few days.
