A Sports Betting Pick by Addicted
Baseball : United States : MLB Regular Season
Friday, June 25th 2010 - Start 10:10PM ET
(3:10AM GMT)
LOS ANGELES DODGERS
Vicente Padilla gets the start tonight for the Dodgers, when the host the Yankees. He is 1-1 this season with a 7.00ERA in 5 starts. The right-handed pitcher gave up 4 runs and 5 hits in 5.3 innings of work to the Red Sox in Boston.
Last year, Padilla gave up 7 runs and 7 hits in 3.7 innings pitched to the Yankees, so they know what to do with him. Robinson Cano, Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada and Brett Gardner are the best at hitting Padilla around, hitting over .333 against him.
New York has scored 28 runs in total over their last 5 games, with their last 3 games going over. They are also hitting .289 against right-handers, going over in the vast majority of those games.
NEW YORK YANKEES
Sabathia is 3-3 with a 4.73ERA on the road this season. He has also struggled against Los Angeles hitters, as they are hitting .337 against him.
The batters to watch tonight are Garret Anderson, Manny Ramirez, Russell Martin, James Loney, Matt Kemp and Jamey Carroll, who have had success against the lefty pitcher in the past.
They are hitting CC for anywhere between .300 and .500 between them. The Dodgers have gone over in 22 of their 36 home games, which is almost 66%.
BETTING VERDICT
Both offences seem to be in good form right now. A 4-4 total after 9 would see us win, as a game can not be tied. I reckon that looks likely here, unless one team decides to go on a tear and win outright, which could be any one of them.
So, I'll be on the over, and shall be cheering on anyone carrying a bat.
The Pick :
Over 8.5 runs
