Baseball bettors will be looking to start the weekend on a high note with 15 games on Friday. Fourteen of them will be under the lights, as the lone day game features the Pirates and Cubs. Our focus will be on the latest of the 15 games, as the San Francisco Giants get together with the San Diego Padres at beautiful Oracle Park.

The Giants are a home underdog here in this matchup between Blake Snell and Anthony DeSclafani. San Francisco is in the +125 range and San Diego is in the -145 range at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a> with a total of 7. We’ve seen a lot of low totals in baseball this season and this one certainly makes sense given the pitching matchup.

Let’s see what this NL West rivalry has in store for Friday night.
<h2><strong><u>San Diego Padres</u></strong></h2>
Getting a day off before a Blake Snell start is a very important thing. Snell has not been working deep into games, which means that the bullpen is called upon to get some big outs. Snell has only worked 25.2 innings over his six starts. They’ve been good starts with a 3.51 ERA and a 3.61 FIP, but a high strikeout rate and a high walk rate have led to a lot of deep counts.

Snell has struck out 37 and walked 15 on the season. He’s only allowed 23 hits, though his contact management numbers have gone down a bit. He’s already allowed seven barreled balls. He allowed 12 last season and that was a lot, given that he allowed 13 in 107 innings in 2019. Snell’s Hard Hit% is up to 37.5%, which is disappointing to see after such a big bump from 2019 to 2020 in that department.

Remember that the Tampa Bay Rays traded Snell, seemingly in his prime. Many felt it was financially motivated, but they may have seen these decreases in command coming.

The Padres offense has actually been bad this season. Despite a boatload of talent, San Diego entered Thursday’s off day sitting 23rd in wOBA at .298. They’ve actually walked a lot and have one of the lower strikeout rates in baseball, but have not hit for any power. They’ve only hit 30 home runs and have a .355 SLG on the season.

Manny Machado is off to a slow start. Tommy Pham is off to a horrible start. Ha-seong Kim is having issues adjusting to MLB pitching. Jurickson Profar has been bad. All of that has overshadowed good starts to the season from guys like Trent Grisham with a .361 wOBA and a 149 wRC+ and Fernando Tatis Jr., with a .401 wOBA and a 134 wRC+.
<h2><strong><u>San Francisco Giants</u></strong></h2>
Regarding offensive struggles, I present the San Francisco Giants. The Giants are actually 10th in wOBA and have a 99 wRC+, so they’ve been right around league average, but the one-year blip at Oracle Park seems to be a thing of the past. The Giants have a .313 wOBA at home with a .235/.332/.380 slash. San Francisco batted .272/.352/.485 at home last season with a .356 wOBA.

The baseball is playing way different than it did last season, but the Giants are back to normal at home now, so that proved to be a one-year outlier. While the Giants have worked around it this season and have spent more days in first place than anybody thought possible in a division with the Dodgers and the Padres, it is still something to think about as we go forward with this season.

Anthony DeSclafani is off to a fantastic start for the Gigantes. He’s worked 36 innings over six starts with a 2.00 ERA and a 3.10 FIP. There are some clear regression signs in the profile, like a .229 BABIP and an 87.2% LOB% to go with a 44.4% Hard Hit%, but hard contact has not been nearly as hurtful to pitchers this season as it has been in the past. DeSclafani is inducing a lot more ground balls than normal, a byproduct of some pitch location adjustments made by the Giants.

DeSclafani is on track for a career year in the swinging strike department and he’s also pumped in more first-pitch strikes than ever before. As long as he keeps pitching ahead and getting those whiffs, he should be able to mostly sustain this early-season start.
<h2><strong><u>Padres vs. Giants Free Pick</u></strong></h2>
The Giants have been able to win a lot of games in spite of a bottom-five bullpen. The Padres are fourth in bullpen FIP and the Giants are 27th. The Padres are fifth in bullpen ERA. Be aware of that if you are betting the full game here.

As erratic as Snell has been this season, and as short as his starts have been, he’s only allowed more than two runs once, including his two starts against the Giants. DeSclafani has not allowed more than three runs in a start. With the way Oracle Park is back to playing this season, the under looks like the way to go here.

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

<p>Las Vegas is buzzing with excitement as the biggest weekend of the year so far for mixed martial arts is just around the corner. UFC 290 promises to deliver another electrifying event as the featherweight title unification bout takes center stage. Reigning champion Alexander Volkanovski will go head-to-head with interim titleholder Yair Rodriguez in a clash that has fans and bettors eagerly awaiting the outcome.</p>



<p>Volkanovski, the current pound-for-pound king, has been a dominant force in the featherweight division. With an impressive winning streak and victories over notable names like Chad Mendes, Jose Aldo, and Max Holloway, he has solidified his claim as one of the best in UFC history. However, his challenger, Yair Rodriguez, poses a legitimate threat to his reign.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-full"><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/bas/"><img src="https://www.bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/betanysports.png" alt="betanysports" class="wp-image-705892"/></a></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-don-t-underestimate-rodriguez">Don't Underestimate Rodriguez</h2>



<p>Rodriguez's explosive stand-up style and unyielding confidence make him a formidable opponent. Despite a few setbacks earlier in his career, he has shown tremendous growth and maturity in recent fights, most notably in his closely contested battle against Max Holloway. Rodriguez has a sneaky good record, with wins over respected fighters such as Dan Hooker, Andre Fili, BJ Penn, and "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung-Jung.</p>



<p>Even though Volkanovski is the betting favorite, it would be a mistake to underestimate Rodriguez. His ability to deliver devastating strikes coupled with his unshakable confidence makes him a live underdog. At +265 at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports/"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a> on the money line, betting on Rodriguez could prove to be a lucrative choice.</p>



<p>Volkanovski's game plan will likely involve using his superior movement to control the fight and neutralize Rodriguez's explosive offense. However, Rodriguez has displayed improvements in his game, particularly in his ground game, which could pose a challenge to Volkanovski's takedown attempts. If Rodriguez can keep the fight standing and utilize his unorthodox striking, he has a legitimate chance of pulling off an upset.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Highlight reel fight in the making:</h2>



<p>Even some of the fighters within the UFC ranks, such as former middle weight title contender and TUF winner Kelvin Gastelum, a close friend and training partner of Rodriguez, believe that the Mexican fighter will emerge victorious. Gastelum has praised Rodriguez's talent, athleticism, and meticulous approach to each fight. He confidently predicts that Rodriguez will not only win but make it look easy.</p>



<p>As the main event of UFC 290 approaches, the anticipation is palpable. Volkanovski seeks redemption after coming off a loss on a lightweight title and aims to prove that he is the undisputed featherweight champion. On the other hand, Rodriguez is determined to make a statement and solidify his place among the elite in the division.</p>



<p>This fight promises fireworks and could potentially set the stage for a rematch with Max Holloway, should Rodriguez emerge victorious. With the odds stacked against him, Rodriguez has the opportunity to shock the world and etch his name in the annals of MMA history.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bet on “El Pantera” over at BetAnySports.eu</h2>



<p>So, as fight night approaches, keep a close eye on Yair “El Pantera” Rodriguez. While the odds may back Volkanovski, Rodriguez's dynamic striking, leveled-up ground skills, and steadfast self-assurance make him a legitimate threat. And at +265 on the money line, betting on Rodriguez could yield significant returns.</p>



<p>Get ready for an epic battle on July 8, 2023, as Yair Rodriguez and Alexander Volkanovski step into the Octagon for a showdown that is sure to leave fans on the edge of their seats. Don't miss out on the action and the opportunity to witness history in the making.
