This week continues the calendar of the 2022 season of the best baseball in the world, the MLB. We have many series between teams that are fighting for the top in their respective divisions; so we will have many emotions assured.
Just a month ago, it seemed that no team would be able to overcome the NY Yankees with the excellent season they were living and for having the best record in the American League.
This has completely changed and one of their rivals in recent years, the Houston Astros have 4 consecutive victories and 7 in the last 10 games to have the best record in the American League with 75 wins and 41 losses.
On the other hand, in the National League, we have the Dodgers playing an excellent season with a spectacular record of 79 wins and 34 losses, with the first place in their division assured, since their main rival is the San Diego Padres, and they are 16 games behind.

August 15th week MLB Series: Yankees vs. Rays and Blue Jays
The NY Yankees will have a very important week with two series against division rivals, Tampa Bay and Toronto. The Yankees must try to get out of the complicated moment they are experiencing for the first time this season and, get back to winning ways as soon as possible.
While both the Rays and the Blue Jays are fighting for second place in their division and now have Baltimore on their heels, these will be very important games for them.
Despite this, the Yankees will play at home every game and are favored to win both series.
Yankees vs. Rays Betting Pick: NY Yankees
Yankees vs. Blue Jays Betting Pick: NY Yankees
August 15th week MLB Series: Astros vs. White Sox and Braves
The best team currently in the American League, the Houston Astros, want to continue their excellent winning streak this week against two very tough teams that are fighting for first place in their respective divisions.
The White Sox wants to take first place in the AL Central division from the Guardians. While the Braves want to continue their winning streak and hope that the Mets have a bad week, so they can catch them for first place in the NL East.
Astros vs. White Sox Betting Pick: Chicago White Sox
Astros vs. Braves Betting Pick: Houston Astros
August 15th week MLB Series: Dodgers vs. Brewers and Marlins
The best team in MLB this season, Los Angeles Dodgers, is virtually assured of first place in the NL West division, something extraordinary and extremely rare has to happen for the Dodgers to be overtaken in this division.
Their main pursuer is San Diego, and they have a 16-game disadvantage.
Although the Dodgers’ first series this week will be at home to the Brewers, the California team has shown a very high level of play in both home and away games.
Likewise, the Dodgers cannot be confident against such a powerful opponent as the Brewers, who are fighting for first place in their division with the St. Louis Cardinals.
The second series they will have this week will be against the weak Miami Marlins, who are having a bad season and, in addition to this, are on a very bad streak of 2 wins in their last 10 games.
Dodgers vs. Brewers Betting Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers
Dodgers vs. Marlins Betting Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers
August 15th week MLB Series: Guardians vs. Tigers and White Sox
Finally, we have the Cleveland Guardians, who little by little have managed to put together the necessary pieces to be on the winning track. The great level shown in recent weeks has helped them to take over first place in the AL Central division, and they currently have a 2.5-game lead over their main rivals, the Twins and White Sox.
The first series they will play will be against the Detroit Tigers who have disappeared, with many doubts and already thinking about next year’s season since they know that their chances of advancing to the playoffs this season are practically nil.
While the series against the White Sox will be much more complicated, two direct rivals could be fighting for first place in the standings in these games. The White Sox enter this week with a 6-4 record in their last 10 games and, if they want to stay in the hunt for first place, they must play a week of near perfection.
Guardians vs. Tigers Betting Pick: Cleveland Guardians
Guardians vs. White Sox Betting Pick: Cleveland Guardians
