Things are already settling out as the sports betting establishment had predicted for many of the teams in Major League Baseball. Baltimore, which started 3-1, is now 4-5 after getting swept over the weekend at home by the Yankees — who have moved to 5-4 after a slow start. Boston is still struggling with starting pitching, posting the largest ERA in MLB, but their 1-0 win in Arizona was a good sign that the pitching is coming around. Texas had started 5-2 but then dropped three straight to the AL West basement-dwelling Los Angeles Angels. The Houston Astros are still scuffling a bit, as are the Chicago Cubs, off to a slow 2-7 start while Milwaukee already has a 5 ½ game lead over the Cubs in the NL Central.
