You won’t find any better value on the MLB betting odds for Tuesday than in this game where a huge underdog makes for a great bet.

The MLB betting odds are hugely in favor of the New York Yankees (36-27) as they get set to take on the lowly Washington Nationals (16-45) but it’s the underdog in this game who you should be betting on.

Online sportsbook Bookmaker.com has the betting odds favoring the home-team Yankees at a line of -350 and this one has been steamed down just a little bit after it opened at -340. 

Early results show that close to 70% of the betting public is backing the boys in pinstripes and there is unlikely to be too much line movement in this Tuesday night game. 

The runs-scored total of 9.5 has been holding strong since the betting lines came out earlier Monday.

Star lefty C.C. Sabathia (5-4, 3.68 ERA) will take the mound for the Yankees and he has been solid but not spectacular this season. 

Sabathia is a workhorse but has only covered the MLB betting odds in 6 of his 13 starts this year and has allowed 14 runs over the course of his last 4 starts which totaled 30 innings. 

The Nationals will counter with righty Shairon Martis (5-1, 5.04 ERA) and the first year pitcher from the Netherlands has covered the MLB betting odds in 6 of his 12 starts this year. 

Martis has never faced the Yankees and has given up just 3 runs over his last 12 innings pitched and might be able to surprise New York with his interesting pitching style. 

The Yankees are hitting just .254 over the course of their last 10 games so Washington should be able to stay in this one.
