The Cardinals are delighted by the performance on Monday of Pujol and they hope it may begin a streak of hitting for him. At the same time the Padres are looking for their Start at first to correct the problems he has had playing at home and that he will break out of the slump on this road trip.

The Padres record is 13-9 this 2010 season at home while the Cardinals are at almost an even 11-12 while playing away and on the road. With that said, it appears that the Twins and the Yankees have an equal chance of winning this matchup. Will this have a positive effect on the MLB Betting lines or MLB odds for this series game?

The Starting pitchers will be Lefthander Cliff Lee for the Mariners who is 1-2 with an ERA of 2.08 and for the Padres it will be Lefthander Wade LeBlanc, who is 2-1 with and ERA of 1.54. A reminder that Lee is a 2008 AL Cy Young winner and has given NL teams a lot of discomfort during his tenure there. A new addition to the Mariners staff, Lee has looked very sharp in his first four outings.

It’s a little difficult to figure why the bookies are favoring the Mariners in this game
because they are at the bottom of all AL West team standings. The upgrade is because the team just yesterday rallied in the ninth inning against the Toronto sending in three runs and winning the game 4-3.

The Mariners are the favorites as they are at home and their record there is 9-11 so far this MLB season, while the Padres on the road are at 12-8 thus far. These stats tend to give the Mariners a 54 % possibility for taking this match-up , so it will certainly make for a change for MLB betting fans as well as movement for the MLB Odds in place as this is a very weak evaluation considering all statistics.
