Wednesday MLB Opening Odds
(The Spread) – Oddsmakers have released the opening odds for Wednesday’s action on the diamond, including in Game 3 between the Giants and Cardinals.
Oddsmakers from online sports book Bodog have made the visiting Giants –115 money line favorites over the Cardinals, who are +105 on the ML. St. Louis is coming off a come-from-behind victory on Tuesday in which it scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth to erase a 3-1 deficit.
The Giants will look to ace Tim Lincecum to get them back on track. “The Freak” is off to another outstanding year, compiling a 5-4 record with a 2.22 ERA over 77 innings of work. He also has 79 strikeouts to just 24 walks.
Staying in the NL, the visiting Brewers are –115 on the money line against the host Reds, who are +105 on the ML. According to latest MLB trends, the over is 4-1 in the last five meetings between these two teams while the Brewers are just 5-22 in their last 27 games against the Reds. They’re also 5-16 in their last 21 games in Cincinnati.
Jumping over to the AL, the Red Sox are –150 on the money line against the White Sox (+140), who touched up Boston’s pitching staff for 10 runs in a 10-7 win on Tuesday night. The Red Sox actually trailed 10-1 at one point before crossing the plate six times in the final two innings.
Boston’s AL East rivals the Yankees will be in Oakland again for the third and final game against the A’s. New York took the first two games of this series, but the A’s find themselves as –130 money line favorites with Gio Gonzalez on the hill.
