Major League Baseball betting oddsmakers did not anticipate the Padres to be anywhere close to playoff competition in the 2010 baseball betting online year. MLB betting interest continues to now focus on the San Diego Padres as they have been the most lucrative baseball betting online asset of the 2010 campaign.



San Diego carried on its lead of the NL West Division half way through August on the muscle of a pitching team that was the leading rated for earned run average in all of baseball.

Everyone keeps watching and waiting for the San Diego Padres to implode but it has yet to occur and a big cause as to why is that pitching team, which has reminded oddsmakers as to why it is so essential to always think about “well armed” squads with the Major League Baseball prospects.

Mat Latos, Clayton Richard, and Wade LeBlanc fill out the San Diego Padres young starting rotation since the All Star break, which has not wilted with the dog days of August heat.

Latos has gone 2-1 in 4 starts with a 1.96 earned run average, Richard was 3-1 with a 5.93 ERA in 5 starts, and LeBlanc was 2-3 with a 4.15 ERA in 5 starts since the break. San Diego has what it takes to hang in the race through the stretch drive when you add in veterans Jon Garland and Kevin Correia.

For the year overall Latos headed the staff with a 2.32 ERA and a 12-5 record whereas Garland was 11-8 with a 3.41 ERA and Richard was 10-5 with a 3.80 ERA.

The bullpen has been just as effective as it has blown the lowest number of games of any time in the big leagues this year. Heath Bell acquired thirty five saves and a 1.78 ERA.

A five game winning streak put the San Diego Padres 22 games over the .500 mark which they have only accomplished twice before in 1984 and 1998 when they won NL pennants.

Since he was hitting .300 with 22 home runs and 74 runs batted in, which were all greatest on the team, Adrian Gonzalez has been the offensive spark for San Diego with the baseball lines.

Ryan Ludwick was another key performer because he was hitting .280 with 14 home runs and 50 runs batted in.

San Diego proceeds on a long Major League Baseball betting road trip with matches this week at Chicago and Milwaukee before heading back home August 24 vs Arizona.
