MLB Betting Trends
San Diego
The under is 8-1 in the last nine Padres games on Wednesdays. The over is 6-2 in the last eight meetings.
New York
The Mets are 8-22 in their last 30 home games. New York is 3-9 in its last 12 Wednesday games.
Prediction:
It’s hard to trust the Mets these days and Oswalt hasn’t shown he can consistently get out MLB hitters yet. Richard can occasionally frustrate hitters and toss a very good game. With how much the Mets are struggling offensively, this contest could be a prime opportunity for a solid Richard outing. With how poor New York has been playing at home, I’m comfortable with a daytime bet on the Padres in this spot.
