MLB Betting Guide for April 10: Time for Trout to Ask Out?

We have 14 MLB games set for today beginning in the afternoon, so let’s dive into everything you need to know for the day of baseball that lies ahead.

Kicking off the early-window, the Los Angeles Dodgers will look to complete the sweep of the Minnesota Twins while the Philadelphia Phillies will hope to wake up their bats in their series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Additionally, the struggling Seattle Mariners will look to avoid getting swept by the Toronto Blue Jays while the Los Angeles Angels will face off with the Tampa Bay Rays. For the Angels, while they have a winning record for now, Mike Trout is dominating as he already has launched six home runs. Is it time for Trout to finally ask out and have a chance at a real postseason run? Maybe in his hometown of Philadelphia? We think so.

Moving on to the night-window, the 10-2 New York Yankees will look to extend their win-streak to five games against the pitiful Miami Marlins in their series finale while the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles will meet in Fenway as baseball’s top prospect Jackson Holliday has been called up by the O’s. 

Lastly, the surprisingly dominant Kansas City Royals will carry their five-game win-streak into another meeting tonight with the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers will look to close out the night with a bounce-back win against the Oakland A’s who actually find themselves on a three-game win streak.

It will be a great day of baseball, so stay with SportsGrid all day to have you covered on everything today could throw at us. Let’s ride!
