The LMB calendar is about to finish the regular season, and this week will be exciting, as we get twice the amount of series to finish right before the playoffs begin.
Expect this week to be exciting as everyone will be looking forward to securing their playoff spots.
The defending champions, Toros de Tijuana, have held on to the helm with 57 wins and 27 losses. If they land 4 victories this week, they will be unreachable before the playoffs begin.
The Tecolotes de Dos Laredos picked up the pace with 6 wins in a row and currently sit in second at 54 wins and 26 losses.
Close behind, we get the Acereros de Monclova, who are still fighting over the 3rd spot at 48 – 31, with Sultanes de Monterrey at 48 – 36.
Now, this Tuesday marks the start of a more interesting series that lead to the final shifts in the scoreboard.

August 2nd LMB Series: Toros de Tijuana vs. Durango and vs. Union Laguna
The Toros face an easy series to begin their week against Durango, who is having a disastrous season remaining on the bottom five teams.
That should be a great opportunity to land 3 victories and make sure that nobody can reach them this week.
The next series is against Union Laguna who should present a little bit more of a challenge, but not enough to pressure the leaders.
Tijuana vs. Durango Betting Pick: Toros de Tijuana
Tijuana vs. Union Laguna Betting Pick: Toros de Tijuana
August 2nd LMB Series: Tecolotes de Dos Laredos vs. Leon and vs. Aguascalientes
Tecolotes are holding the second spot, and they are just 3 wins behind Tijuana.
They still have a small window to catch up to Tijuana and maybe even steal the first spot back to finish the regular season.
Their first series of the week is against Bravos de Leon, who is on the bottom of the scoreboard after an awful season.
After that, they face Aguascalientes, who is right in the middle of the scoreboards but shouldn’t cause them too much trouble.
Dos Laredos vs. Leon Betting Pick: Tecolotes de Dos Laredos
Dos Laredos vs. Aguascalientes Betting Pick: Tecolotes de Dos Laredos
August 2nd LMB Series: Acereros de Monclova vs. Aguascalientes and vs. Saltillo
Acereros de Monclova is fighting for the 3rd spot, and they have a great opportunity this week to get a leap ahead Sultanes, and keep the spot for themselves.
The first series against Aguascalientes will be the one that will show some opposition, as their second series of the week, against Saltillo, is more likely a warm-up before the playoffs.
