Pirates vs. Padres: Public Bettors Backing San Diego
As of this writing, our MLB Public Betting Page shows that 64% of bets are on the Padres’ moneyline. That said, this page is updated frequently so make sure that you click on the link provided so that you’re getting the most updated information.
Arraez keeps hitting for Padres
Luis Arraez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a steal and two runs scored Tuesday against the Pirates. The walk was Arraez’s first since July 24. Putting the ball in play even more than usual, he’s totaled 26 strikeouts and 18 walks in 508 plate appearances on the year. Add in the three homers, and only 9.3% of his plate appearances have ended in one of the three true outcomes.
Ortiz pitches well vs. Padres
Luis Ortiz yielded two runs — one earned — in five innings Tuesday against the Padres. Ortiz deserves some extra credit for limiting the Padres to just an unearned run in the first after Oneil Cruz turned an easy double play into no outs. Still, he wound up taking his first loss in eight starts this year, even though he performed better than he did in getting no-decisions in his previous three starts.
