Twins vs. Padres MLB Prediction

[Shame About Ray]

MLB Baseball Wagering - Minnesota vs. San Diego

Because the Minnesota Twins are so adept at playing at their highest level in these interleague games they are on the verge of their best winning streak in the past two seasons. The Twins have won seven games in a row. Included in that seven game streak is a sweep of the highly-touted Arizona Diamondbacks. Therefore, for baseball betting fans, the Twins’ streak is definitely legit. They send pitcher Glen Perkins to the mound. Perkins has started nine games this season. His record is 3 and 2 with an ERA of 4.39.



Perkins and the rest of the Twins are going to have their hands full with the Padres in Wednesday night’s game for the simple fact that the Padres send Greg Maddux to the mound. “Mad-dog” still has his stuff. He doesn’t dominate the way he used to and there are no David Justices and Chipper Joneses on the Padres’ squad to bat in runs for him, but he can still intimidate from the mound. His ERA this season is a terrific 3.17. Unfortunately, for MLB betting fans looking to make a few scores on the Padres, he rarely gets run support. Even with that terrific ERA, Maddux has compiled a losing record of 3 and 5.

Here are the BetUS online sportsbook betting odds for this game:

Minnesota Twins
Glen Perkins – L + 1 ½ - 190 + 115 O 8 - 115

San Diego Padres
Greg Maddux – R - 1 ½ + 160 - 135 U 8 - 105

Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online sportsbook bet in this game:

The Minnesota Twins are 7 and 0 in their last 7 games overall.
The Minnesota Twins are 5 and 2 in Glen Perkins’ last 7 starts.
The San Diego Padres are 1 and 4 in their last 5 interleague games at home.
The San Diego Padres are 1 and 7 in their last 8 games overall.

Even with Maddux taking the mound, it’s difficult for me to make an online betting case for the San Diego Padres.

The Padres just aren’t a very good squad this season. They had one of the most feared pitching staffs in the majors going into the season but, mostly because of injury, they’ve sort of fallen apart. They never could hit well. They’re hitting the ball even worse this year.

I have to take the Twins at those BetUS online sportsbook odds of + 115. It’s above even money and the Twins are on a roll.

Maddux will pitch well but as evidenced by his record even when he pitches well, the Padres can lose games.

I’ll be making an online baseball bet on the Minnesota Twins to beat the San Diego Padres straight-up at online betting odds of + 115.
