Heading into this week’s All Star break, no MLB team is hotter than the Los Angeles Dodgers. They won their last six games with three-game sweeps against Arizona and Kansas City this past week to improve to 61-29 at the break. Going back to early June, the Dodgers have won 26 of their last 30 games to open up a 7.5-game lead over the Diamondbacks in the NL West. Anyone betting on Los Angeles with BetAnySports just in the month of July would be up $482 on a $100 wager.
The Dodgers now own the best record in the Majors with those 61 wins in 90 games, but over in the American League the Houston Astros are a close second at 60-29. They have been one of the hotter betting teams all season long and there total return on a $100 bet this season stands at plus $1550. The Astros have done most of their damage on the road with a MLB-best 33 victories in 44 road games. They headed into the break with seven wins in their last 10 games to open up a 16.5-game lead over both the Los Angeles Angels and the Texas Rangers in the AL West.

Both the New York Yankees (45-41) and Tampa Bay (47-43) are in the hunt with Baltimore (42-46) and Toronto (41-47) falling further off the pace with losing records in their last 10 games.

All three teams went into the All Star break on a losing note. The Royals have actually lost their last three games and the Twins dropped the last two games of this past weekend’s series against the Orioles.
