We start not only a new week, but a new month on the MLB calendar, and we have some small shifts at the top of the scoreboards, which should make for an interesting week.
There is a slight change at the very top of the scoreboards as the first and second place have just a 1 victory difference between them.
There is no room in between and the 3rd and 4rth place are right on their back too.
At the helm, the leaders of the AL East Division, with now a 69-34 record, the NY Yankees continue to keep themselves at the front but are just barely holding on to that spot.

After the scrap last week, the second place at the scoreboards now belongs to the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have landed a score of 68-33 and the Houston Astros are right behind them third with 67 and 36.
After them, the Mets lead the NL East with 64 and 37, and they have the Braves close behind them with 62 and 41.
Now, this week the top teams are close to each other, so anything could pretty much tip and change the order at this point.

When: Start Monday, August 1st, 2022.
Where Can I Watch? Fox Sports, FS1, and TBS.
Where Can Stream? MLB.TV
August 1st week MLB Series: New York Yankees – vs. Mariners and vs. Cardinals.
The Yankees are still at the helm for a reason, and they are going to play with all their might in these series, to avoid being caught by the Dodgers, or any other team at all.
They are facing teams who are doing well during the week, but it shouldn’t be too much of an issue to run them over.
Yankees vs. Mariners Betting Pick: New York Yankees
Yankees vs. Cardinals Betting Pick: New York Yankees
August 1st week MLB Series: Dodgers – vs. Giants and vs. Padres.
The Dodgers are going to be busy once again this week, with two series and no breaks.
They are coming in strong, and they have closed the gap to the leaders, now being one victory away from them.
They should be able to take over if they can handle the two series ahead of them this week.
The Giants shouldn’t be a problem, but the Padres are not going down without a fight.
One way or the other, we have the Dodgers as our pick on both series.
Dodgers vs. Giants Betting Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers
Dodgers vs. Padres Betting Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers
August 1st week MLB Series: Astros – vs. Red Sox and vs. Guardians
The Houston Astros couldn’t keep up the second spot, but they are as close as they can be, both to 2nd and 1rst place.
If they manage to crush their opponents this week, we might even see them at the helm by Sunday Night.
We do not expect them to have too much opposition during the week, as the Red Sox are at the bottom of the AL East, and the Guardians are having the same results even though they are second in the AL Central.
Keep an eye out on the Astros, as they have their best chance to climb during this week.
Astros vs. Red Sox Betting Pick: Houston Astros
Astros vs. Guardians Betting Pick: Houston Astros
