MLB Betting: Underdog Reds Defeat Padres

To the delight of under­dog bet­ting fans, the Cincin­nati Reds posted a 12–2 vic­tory over San Diego on Sun­day, cour­tesy of Chris Heisey who drove in four runs and a solo homer for the Reds.

Suc­cess­fully avert­ing a three-game sweep against the Padres, Cincin­nati man­aged to at least tie for the National League Cen­tral title. The Reds were look­ing for­ward to claim­ing their first NL Cen­tral crown in 15 years, how­ever, sec­ond place St. Louis did not let up, down­ing the Cubs to hang on.

Attract­ing nearly 60% of the MLB bet­ting action, the San Diego Padres, with bet­ting odds of –125, were the clear favorites over Cincin­nati among Lines­Maker bet­tors. How­ever, the Padres turned out to be a set­back for a major­ity of bet­tors, as they suc­cumbed and lost at the hands of the Reds.

Joey Votto tossed a sin­gle hit while pulling in three runs. Mean­while, Homer Bai­ley (4–3) allowed just two runs on five hits in seven innings.

Being erad­i­cated from first posi­tion in the NL West, the Padres are a half-game behind the Giants, fol­low­ing San Francisco’s tri­umph over Col­orado on Sun­day. The World Series bet­ting line on the Padres is cur­rently at 15 — 1.

Clay­ton Richard (13–9) was tagged with the loss after giv­ing up six runs on five hits over five-plus frames. Adrian Gon­za­lez and Yorvit Tor­re­alba socked solo homers for San Diego.
