MLB Baseball Betting Odds - San Diego Padres vs. Chicago Cubs

The Padres actually beat the Cubs in Tuesday night online betting action. I know. It surprised me to. The Padres scored four runs in the game which is about the most they’ll ever score in any sports betting game. At least that’s what it’s been so far this season. They send the best pitcher in the National League to the mound tonight, and the most unlucky, in Jake Peavy. Peavy is good enough to win every game he starts in. Asking for three runs from your team isn’t too much to ask and Peavy rarely needs more then three in order to get the win - - of course, he rarely gets enough run support. Peavy’s record this season is 4 and 2 in 8 games with an ERA of 2.47. The man should be 8 and 0, but the bats usually aren’t there for him.

The Cubs counter with Ted Lilly. Lilly is an okay pitcher. His record is 3 and 4 on the season with an ERA of 5.24. The Cubs must believe that there is no way for the Padres to get another 4 runs out of their batters. Why put Lilly up against Peavy? Of course, it could also mean that Pinella just didn’t plan his rot
