MLB Online Baseball Betting – Colorado vs. San Francisco

By D.S Williamson

The Colorado Rockies, fresh off being swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers, travel up the coast to take on the San Francisco Giants. The Rockies are desperately in need of a win after the Dodgers brought out the brooms on Sunday afternoon. MLB baseball betting logic tells us that the Rockies should bounce back against a Giants team that just isn’t very good. Then again, the Rockies do send Franklin Morales to the mound. Morales is 1 and 1 on the season, but his ERA is horrendous. At 6.00, Morales’s ERA isn’t close to what the Rockies will need in order to challenge the Arizona Diamondbacks in the N.L. West division. Morales has been a very good online wager against since the beginning of the season.

The San Francisco Giants counter with pitcher Matt Cain. Cain hasn’t been much better than Morales. Cain is 0 and 2 on the season with an ERA of 5.27. This is going to be a tough one for BetUS sportsbook wagering enthusiasts to figure out.

Here are the BetUS online wagering odds for this game.

Colorado Rockies

Franklin Morales – L + 1 ½ - 240 - 110 O 7 ½ Ev

San Francisco Giants

Matt Cain – R - 1 ½ + 200 - 110 U 7 ½ - 120

This game provides quite the conundrum for serious sports betting fans. For one thing, there is absolutely no way it makes sense to put up an extra 140 dollars to get a run and a half on Franklin Morales. I just don’t have that kind of faith in the guy.

Then again, it makes no sense to give up a run and a half to Morales at 2 to 1 odds. I don’t have faith in the entire San Francisco Giants. What does that leave us with? Well, the BetUS over/under online betting odds of 7 ½ runs looks solid - - for the under.

But I’m not sold on that either. This game could go either way. It could be a very low scoring affair, which is likely, but the bats could come alive for the Rockies at any moment.

That insight, that the Rockies could start scoring a ton of runs at any moment in any game, leads me to the conclusion that the only real online wager to make is on the Rockies to win this game straight-up at odds of – 110.

The BetUS sportsbook gambling odds on the Colorado Rockies to beat the San Francisco Giants straight-up in their Monday night game is Rockies – 110.

I’ll put up the juice and expect the Rockies to end their losing streak.
