This is going to be some baseball betting battle in Los Angeles as the Diamondbacks send Danny Haren to the mound to shut-down a Dodgers team that had a rough go of it on Tuesday night. The BetUS online betting odds have this one difficult to predict because both starting pitchers, Haren and Derek Lowe for the Dodgers, are capable of being brilliant on any given night. To be successful betting on baseball, one needs to find good online wagers - - not just bet on teams based on feeling. Before I get to the best online sportsbook wagers I see in this game, I want to throw-out some stats regarding Danny Haren. This guy is a baseball betting dream. He’s been nothing but brilliant in four starts this season. Haren is 3 and 0 with 19 strikeouts and a 1.80 ERA.

Derek Lowe, for the Dodgers, isn’t exactly an MLB betting loser. He’s been very good this season, although not as good as Haren, racking up a 1 and 1 record with a 2.59 ERA. Somebody has to break tomorrow, right?

Let’s take a look at the BetUS MLB online betting odds in this game.

Arizona Diamondbacks

Danny Haren – R + 1 ½ - 200 - 105 O 8

Los Angeles Dodgers

Derek Lowe – R - 1 ½ + 170 - 115 U 8

There are two BetUS online wagers that have caught my eye. The first is putting some money on the Arizona Diamondbacks to win this game straight-up at the sports betting line of – 105.

The Diamondbacks are clearly the better team at the moment. They have the better pitchers. They are swinging the bats better. An online wager of – 105 on the D’Backs versus the Dodgers is awfully fair in my eyes.

The second wager that has caught my eye is the BetUS sportsbook over/under of 8 runs. Rarely, do MLB betting lines come in at 8 runs when two such stalwart pitchers take the mound. I expected the over/under betting line in this game to be around 6 ½. What a surprise then to see it a juicy 8 runs.

Can you tell I like the under?

The BetUS MLB wager odds on the Arizona Diamondbacks to win this game straight-up against the Los Angeles Dodgers on the road are – 105.

The BetUS over/under online odds in the Arizona Diamondbacks versus Los Angeles Dodgers game is 8 runs.

I’ll have money on the D’Backs to win straight-up as well as this game to go under the 8 runs.
