In Between the Lines: Chapter 40

Time flies when you’re having fun. There is a lot going on this weekend in MLB. There are a plethora of player props and odds boosts available to bet on in the Tipico Sportsbook app.

With a stacked sports schedule comes fervent sports bettors. “In Between the Lines” gives avid fans and sports bettors exactly what they want. Looking ahead to the upcoming week in sports, “In Between the Lines” offers inside analysis on line movements and key stats.

Here’s what you absolutely can’t miss this upcoming week in sports:

1. MLB – Cincinnati Reds at New York Mets Moneyline (7/30/21 at 7:10pm)

The Cincinnati Reds will take on the New York Mets at Citi Field on Friday night. In case you haven’t heard, Cincinnati’s Joey Votto is on fire. On Thursday, he hit a home run for the sixth straight game, breaking the Reds franchise record. The man is unstoppable, and I see him keeping the streak alive. So, with that being said, I definitely like Joey Votto to hit a homer on Friday. Furthermore, an even better reason to bet on Votto to homer is because Tipico Sportsbook boosted the odds for him to homer to +300.

I hate to say it and break my late grandmother’s heart, as she was a die-hard Mets fan, but I like the Reds moneyline at +110 in this one. The Mets just haven’t been doing that well. They lost Monday, Tuesday and yesterday against the Braves. They have been inconsistent. Meanwhile, the Reds have won their last three against the Chicago Cubs. So, bet the Reds moneyline and a Votto homer.

2. MLB – Boston Red Sox at Tampa Bay Rays Moneyline, O/U (7/30/21 at 7:10pm)

This is a tricky one, indeed. On Thursday, the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Boston Red Sox 13-1. Also, on Thursday, the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the New York Yankees 14-0. That was a tough one to watch. The over/under for this game is set at 8.5, and the over is less valuable because, well, you know, 14-0. Oh, and I forgot to mention that the Rays had a 10-run 6th inning. 10 runs. Absolutely incredible.

That being said, I like Tampa Bay on the moneyline at -140 here and over 8.5 runs at -130. Let’s see if the Rays can score a lot of runs again. If you want to get a little risky for a more valuable bet, you can bet Rays -1.5 against the spread at +145.
