Major League Baseball wagering odds makers didn’t expect the San Diego Padres to be anywhere close to playoff competition in the 2010 baseball wagering online year. As they’ve been the most lucrative baseball wagering online asset of the 2010 campaign, Major League Baseball wagering recognition continues to now focus on the Padres.



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

Everybody keeps watching and waiting for the Padres to blow up but it has yet to transpire and a major explanation as to why is that pitching team, which has reminded odds makers as to why it is so important to always think about “well armed” teams with the Major League Baseball prospects.

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

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

For the year overall Latos headed the staff with a 2.32 ERA and a 12-5 record whilst 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 smallest number of games of any time in the big leagues this year. Heath Bell got thirty five saves as well as a 1.78 ERA.

A five competition winning streak put the Padres 22 games over the .500 mark which they’ve only achieved twice before in 1984 and 1998 when they won National League pennants.

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

Because he was hitting .280 with 14 home runs and 50 runs batted in, Ryan Ludwick was another crucial performer.

San Diego carries on a long Major League Baseball wagering road trip with matches this week at Chicago and Milwaukee before coming back home August 24 versus Arizona.
