MLB Baseball Betting Odds - Houston Astros vs. San Francisco Giants
The Houston Astros, fresh off sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers, and beating up former pitching stud Barry Zito for seven runs on Monday night, send Brandon Backe to the mound in the second of a four-game series versus the San Francisco Giants. The Astros are on fire. Any MLB online betting fan that hasn’t been paying attention to this team had better start doing so soon. For some reason, they’re just really good right now. They’ve only lost 1 sports betting game in their last 10. However, Brandon Backe might have some problems in this game. His record is 2 and 4 and his ERA is a less than solid 4.67.
The Giants counter Backe with Matt Cain. Cain hasn’t been all that great either this season going 1 and 3 with an ERA of 4.50. The Giants, as always, will struggle to find runs.
Here are the BetUS online sportsbook betting odds for this game.
Brandon Backe – R + 1 ½ - 195 + 110 O 8 - 110
Matt Cain – R - 1 ½ + 165 - 130 U 8 - 110
Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good bet in this game.
The Houston Astros are 8 and 1 in their last 9 games overall.
The Houston Astros are 5 and 0 in their last 5 games as an underdog.
The Houston Astros are 0 and 4 in Brandon Backe’s last 4 starts on the road.
The San Francisco Giants are 2 and 5 in their last 7 games overall.
The Under is 8 and 2 in the Houston Astros last 10 games on the road.
The Giants have a small shot at winning this game, but the Astros are playing at such a high-level that I don’t feel it’s necessary to fool with any other online bet in this game. I like the money-line.
The fact that the Houston Astros are getting + 110 on the money-line tells me that I need not look any further.
The Giants are the perfect team for the Astros to continue their torrid pace against. After all, the Giants really don’t have anybody on their team who could drive in the needed runs to beat the Houston Astros.
I’m going with ‘Stros and the BetUS money-line.
The BetUS online sportsbook betting line on the Houston Astros to beat the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night is Astros + 110.
That’s where my money will be.
