How good is the American League East right now? The Tampa Bay Rays are one of the top teams in baseball, and yet they’re 10 games out of first place in the division. The New York Yankees lead the AL East with the best record in the majors. And if the Rays are going to make the playoffs, they’re four games behind the Boston Red Sox for the Wild Card, so they’d better get a move on.
We’ve got all three Eastern rivals lined up in this week’s betting preview, plus the hard-luck Toronto Blue Jays in their latest trip to Fenway Park. All stats are at press time; Bodog Sports is your home for the latest lines.

This weekend's top 7 games to bet on:
1. Sunday: Atlanta at Philadelphia (8:05 p.m. Eastern, ESPN)
We should have an entertaining duel on Sunday Night Baseball between Jair Jurrjens (2.91 ERA, 1.26 WHIP) and Joe Blanton (3.88 ERA, 1.29 WHIP).
2. Saturday: N.Y. Mets at Chicago Cubs (4:10 p.m., FOX)
The Mets are sending rookie Bobby Parnell (5.08 ERA, 1.63 WHIP) to the mound. This is his first month as a starter; New York’s only win was Parnell’s only quality start in four attempts.
3. Sunday: Chicago White Sox at N.Y. Yankees (1:05 p.m., TBS)
Chicago traded Freddy Garcia to the Phillies in 2006. He’ll make the third start of his return engagement for the White Sox after allowing eight earned runs in his first 10.2 innings of work, both losses for Chicago.
4. Saturday: Colorado at San Francisco (9:05 p.m., MLBN)
Our No. 4 money pitcher, Jason Marquis (3.47 ERA, 1.27 WHIP), squares off against former Cy Young winner Barry Zito (4.09 ERA, 1.32 WHIP).
5. Saturday: L.A. Dodgers at Cincinnati (4:10 p.m., FOX)
It’s another start for Dodgers knuckleballer Charlie Haeger (1.93 ERA, 0.86 WHIP), who threw seven quality innings in each of his first two games, splitting the pair down the middle.
6. Sunday: Texas at Minnesota (2:10 p.m.)
Kevin Millwood (3.63 ERA, 1.34 WHIP) has the under at 15-7-3 for the Rangers, while the over is 15-9-1 for Scott Baker (4.47 ERA, 1.15 WHIP) and the Twins.
7. Saturday: Pittsburgh at Milwaukee (7:05 p.m.)
The Pirates will make Kevin Hart (4.14 ERA, 1.60 WHIP) walk the plank. They’ve lost three of his four starts since coming over from the Cubs at the trade deadline.
