There are many ways to bet baseball from tracking hot streaks, to pitching matchups, to betting favorites. In this article I'd like to turn your attention to betting underdogs. The table below shows this seasons betting performances in the American League. If you blindly bet underdogs thus far you would be cashing in on 9 of the 15 teams. The most profitable being the Texas Rangers at 31-17 as an uderdog and cashing in $1835 on a $100 bet.

The point that I am trying to make with this article is that there is money to be made betting MLB underdogs. Remember, winning only 50% of the time with underdogs will make you money.
So the next time that a "tout" does nothing but pick favorites beware because more than likely it will be a losing season in the long run.
