As the MLB betting regular season month of September continues to wind down, teams across the league are moving closer to clinching their respective divisions. While the National League has never really seemed very close, there is still some excitement to look forward to in the American League down the stretch. Here is a quick look at four matchups for this week.
- Baltimore Orioles @ Boston Red Sox
Monday, 7:10 PM ET
The Boston Red Sox are the most talented team in baseball not to have already put themselves in prime position to lock up a playoff spot, as they continue to concede games that they are favored to win in September and allow the Tampa Bay Rays to stay within reach of the AL Wild Card spot. The New York Yankees have pulled away with the pennant and division title, but that doesn’t mean that Boston can afford not to finish strong.
Veteran Jon Lackey gets the ball on Monday as he continues to struggle through one of the worst seasons of his career, and if he can’t get the job done on Monday, then his offense better do everything they can to bail him out as the Red Sox open a series they need to have at Fenway Park.

- Milwaukee Brewers @ Chicago Cubs
Monday, 8:05 PM ET
Once upon a time the Milwaukee Brewers were in a close race for the AL Central title alongside the St Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates, but those days are far back in the rearview mirror and now Milwaukee is cruising towards clinching the division. Milwaukee hasn’t been the best road team this season which makes home field that much more important in the playoffs, and they can help their cause by finishing strong away from home this MLB betting season continuing with Shaun Marcum on the mound Monday against the Cubs.

- Tampa Bay Rays @ New York Yankees
Tuesday, 7:05 PM ET
Despite their ridiculously low payroll and that they dealt with a ton of turnover from the previous season, the Rays have somehow managed to remain in the race for the AL Wild Card with the combination of outstanding pitching and timely hitting. Tampa Bay still has a ways to go to complete the comeback, and a series on the road this week against the New York Yankees is crucial. 26-year old Wade Davis will get the call against AJ Burnett Tuesday, and he will need to bring his best stuff as every game is now considered a must-win.

- Texas Rangers @ Oakland Athletics
Tuesday, 10:05 PM ET
The Texas Rangers have traded wins and losses with the Los Angeles Angels to stay ahead of them in the AL West this September, and will now get the chance to take advantage of a crucial road series against an inferior opponent. Derek Holland will get the call against Rich Harden looking for his 15th sports betting bonus decision of the season.
