Baseball Favorites Continue to Roll

The Dog Days of Summer have turned into the Chalk Days of August, as favorites have been winning at an alarming rate the past eight days. Entering Wednesday's action, baseball favorites were on an incredible 112-35 run, which has been making life miserable for bookmakers everywhere. While many bettors are anxiously awaiting the start of the football season, it goes without saying that nobody will be happier to see the start of the NFL season than the bookies.

Things weren't any different in early action on Wednesday, as the three favorites all came through for their backers. Remember, large favorites tend to cover more this time of year, so while there are a number of juicy prices on some good-looking dogs, it's best to tread lightly.

Today's baseball play is up and can be found at Free Sports Betting Picks located in the Sports Gambling 101 section of the site.
