MLB Baseball Betting - Arizona vs. San Diego

By D.S Williamson

Randy Johnson, future hall-of-famer and key reason the Arizona Diamondbacks won that championship in 2001, says that the back spasms he suffered earlier this season are behind him. Even when he’s not great, he’s good as evidenced by his 3.38 ERA on the season. Johnson is 0 and 1 this year but throughout his career he’s been an online sportsbook betting dream. This is especially true against the San Diego Padres where Johnson is 14 and 5 in his career. That’s a terrific winning MLB betting percentage.

The Padres counter with Randy Wolf. Wolf hasn’t just been stellar on the mound, going 2 and 0 in four games while allowing only 16 hits for an ERA of 2.49, but funny as well. Because Arizona first baseman Connor Jackson had three hits against Wolf this past Sunday, Wolf said that from now on he’s going to pitch “under-handed to Connor because he hits everything else I throw.” I like a pitcher with some humor in him.

Here are the BetUS online wagering odds:

Arizona Diamondbacks

Randy Johnson – L - 1 ½ + 150 - 105 O 7 - 130

San Diego Padres

Randy Wolf – L + 1 ½ - 170 - 115 U 7 + 110

This could very easily turn into a pitchers’ duel which means that, since this game is at Petco Park, runs will be few and far between. That makes the BetUS over/under betting line of 7 runs a perfect bet. I have to put a few dollars on the under at 7 even though it looks sneaky to me.

By sneaky, and perfect, I mean that sometimes a sportsbook gambler will see a line and wonder exactly how the odds-makers came up with it. That’s the case with the over/under of 7 runs at + 110. It’s almost too good looking, you know? Still, my online wager on the over will go in the books!

The other BetUS online MLB betting wager that appeals to me in this game is taking the Diamondbacks to win straight-up at online betting odds of – 105.

To me this is a very good baseball wagering bet because if a team does score in this game, I doubt it will be the Padres. Without run support, the Padres keeping shooting themselves in the foot. Their stellar rotation always keeps them in the game and then their bull-pen or Trevor Hoffman just blows it.

I’m going to take advantage.

The BetUS online sports betting odds between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the San Diego Padres is over/under 7 runs.

The BetUS sportbook betting odds on the Arizona Diamondbacks to win their game versus the San Diego Padres straight-up is – 105.

I like both the over and the D’Backs at – 105 in this game.
