MLB Baseball Betting - San Diego Padres vs. Cleveland Indians
The San Diego Padres take on the Cleveland Indians in a Saturday interleague game where neither teams figure to do whatever it takes to win. The Padres will start pitcher Cha Seung Baek whom the Padres acquired on May 29th. There’s no telling what Cha Seung is going to do in this game. He has a 1 and 2 record and a 5.01 ERA.
The Cleveland Indians will counter the Padres’ new pitcher with the brilliant Cliff Lee. Lee has been a baseball betting fan’s dream all season racking up a 10 and 1 record and an ERA of 2.52. C.C. who? With Cliff Lee pitching the way he has, the Indians won’t have any trouble letting Sabathia go after this season.
Here are my personal online betting odds for this game
San Diego Padres
Cha Seung Baek – R + 1 ½ + 115 + 210 O 8 ½ - 120
Cleveland Indians
Cliff Lee – L - 1 ½ - 110 - 195 U 8 ½ Ev
Here are a few sports wagering trends not counting Friday’s games that might help us find a suitable online bet.
The San Diego Padres are 7 and 1 in their last 8 games overall.
The San Diego Padres are 1 and 5 in their last 6 games on the road versus a left-handed starter.
The Cleveland Indians are 13 and 3 in their last 16 games versus a team from the National League West Division.
The Cleveland Indians are 12 and 2 in Cliff Lee’s last 14 interleague starts.
This is one of those no contest games. Whether or not the Cleveland Indians beat the San Diego Padres straight-up will depend on whether or not the Indians take this game seriously.
There is no way that the Padres should be able to hit Cliff Lee. Lee is one of the best pitchers in the majors. To online sportsbook bettors, Cliff Lee is a stud. He’s got the Padres over a barrel before even tossing out his first pitch.
That’s how much better Cliff Lee is then the batters for the Padres.
I see only one viable online wager in this game and to me it doesn’t matter what the odds are. Cliff Lee on the run-line at – 1 ½, even if the BetUS online wagering odds turn out to be on the minus side, is the only online bet worth making in this game.
Cliff Lee should dominate the San Diego Padres on Saturday.
