MLB Baseball Betting - St. Louis vs. Milwaukee
The St. Louis Cardinals do battle with one of their top rivals in the N.L. Central, the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night. From a BetUS online sportsbook baseball betting point-of-view, the Cardinals are about as solid as any team in the National League right now. Unfortunately for them, they have to battle the Cubs and the super-hot Houston Astros for supremacy in the Central Division. Luckily, for Monday sports betting night’s game they send out Adam Wainwright. Wainwright has been an extremely solid pitcher, and profitable to online sportsbook betting fans, by going 3 and 1 with a 2.25 ERA. He has only allowed a single run in 13 1/3rd innings. That makes him ultra-tough in this Monday nighter.
The Milwaukee Brewers counter with Dave Bush. Bush is 0 and 4 with a 6.98 ERA. That makes him an online wagering no-no as there is absolutely no way that a true sportsbook betting fan could lay down some dollars on Bush.
Here are the BetUS online sporstbook betting odds for this game.
Adam Wainwright – R - 1 ½ + 130 - 125 O 8 ½ - 120
Dave Bush – R + 1 ½ - 150 + 105 U 8 ½ Ev
Here are a few online sportsbook betting trends that might help us figure out this game.
The St. Louis Cardinals are 5 and 1 in their last 6 games on the road as the favorite.
The St. Louis Cardinals are 4 and 1 in Adam Wainwright’s last 5 starts.
The Milwaukee Brewers are 4 and 1 in their last 5 games as an underdog at home.
The Milwaukee Brewers are 1 and 4 in Dave Bush’s last 5 starts.
This game provides us with a very nice opportunity. Adam Wainwright should have no trouble shutting down the Milwaukee Brewers attack - - for six innings at least - - which means that giving up the 1 and ½ runs to receive + 130 is a pretty good deal.
Dave Bush just isn’t the same sort of pitcher that Wainwright is. He’s had some terrible starts this season and now has to face a Cardinals team that has just been solid all year. Bush is going to have trouble on Monday night and I figure to capitalize on it.
The BetUS online sportsbook wager is a good one - - Wainwright minus a run and a half to receive + 130.
That’s where my money is going. I’ll be making a wager on Adam Wainwright and the Cardinals to dominate the Brewers in this game.
