We start the week preparing for what is to come in the second half of it. This time as the MLB calendar is heated up after the All Starts game; the teams at the lead are picking their opponents apart to stand out from the bunch.
The 5 teams on the top are feeling comfortable as they have stood out from the rest of the scoreboard, having a lead of at least 5 victories over the rest of the teams.
At the helm are the leaders of the AL East Division, with now a 64-28 record; the NY Yankees who are constantly tearing their opponents apart on the field.
The Yankees have the mark of winning 120 games in the season right on their crosshairs and it seems like they will not stop until they reach it.
–
The second place on the scoreboards has to be the NL West leaders; the Los Angeles Dodgers who intend on closing the gap to the Yankees, with a 60 – 32 record so far.
The Houston Astros continue their strong lead in the AL West division, and The Mets are close to the top as they helm the NL East Division, but they have The Braves right behind them at a dangerous distance.
Now, this week we get some series that could ensure these top teams take a bigger leap or even change the current top 5 placements by the time we go to bed on Sunday.

July 22nd MLB Series: Baltimore Orioles vs. New York Yankees
The Yankees have been the team to hack and slash their way to the top, like a gruesome horror film, and they are getting ready to continue their unrelenting path.
The Orioles are the team at the bottom of the AL East, but they are still doing a decent season with 46 wins and 46 losses.
Thankfully, the Orioles will be hosting the series, which is the spot they are the strongest, so we will get more than just a lamb sent to slaughter on these games.
We do believe the Yankees will take the series one way or another.
Orioles vs. Yankees Betting Pick: New York Yankees
July 21st MLB Series: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Francisco Giants
The Dodgers are keeping things close to the Yankees, but not enough to challenge the top spot yet.
This might be their chance as they meet a fellow NL West team in the Giants.
The Giants are coming in with a 48 – 43 record, but the Dodgers are hosting and they are simply at their best on their home field, so we believe they will be stepping closer to the top when this series ends.
Dodgers vs. Giants Betting Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers
July 22nd MLB Series: Houston Astros vs. Seattle Mariners
The Houston Astros may be close to the top, having an excellent run at 59 and 32, but if they want to get to the top, they will face a strong team in the mariners, who are going at 51 and 42 so far.
The Mariners will take their chances as they host the match, and being their strongest spot, we are going to see both teams playing their best game to see who takes the victory.
We place our token on the Astros, who have been a machine while on the road.
Astros vs. Mariners Betting Pick: Houston Astros
July 22nd MLB Game: New York Mets vs. San Diego Padres
The Mets are chasing close behind with 58 wins and 35 losses so far, and they face the Padres, who come in at 52 and 42.
This match-up will be fun, as the Padres have been doing good both at home and on the field, but the Mets are hosting the match and their home turf has been a nightmare for all the opposition they have faced.
Expect the Mets to take the win after an exciting series.
Mets vs. Padres Betting Pick: New York Mets
July 22nd MLB Series: Atlanta Braves vs. Los Angeles Angels
The Braves are making their best attempt at taking over the NL East from the Mets, and they will need to take 3 victories against the Angels to make their path easier.
With 56 wins and 38 losses, the Braves should be excited to host the series and be at their strongest.
They face a team of Angels who has been taking hits all season long, now standing at 39 wins and 53 losses.
The Braves should take this series as a blessing, and make the most out of it to take the lead.
Braves vs. Angels Betting Pick: Atlanta Braves
