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.

MLB Odds

Sports bettors looking for something to do on Saturday night might have to focus a lot on the baseball card. UFC 262 is going on, but most of the NBA games are in the afternoon and there is only one night game in the NHL.

Fortunately, there are a few night games in MLB, including the matchup between the St. Louis Cardinals and the San Diego Padres. It will be Adam Wainwright for the Redbirds and Chris Paddack for the Friars at Petco Park in the middle game of this weekend set. Paddack and the host Padres are in the -130 range with a total of 7 at <strong><a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betus/">BetUS Sportsbook</a></strong>.
<h2><strong><u>St. Louis Cardinals</u></strong></h2>
The Cardinals have been playing quite a bit better than expected, especially on offense this season. Despite the one-run loss on Friday in a 5-4 decision, the Cardinals had some decent swings against Joe Musgrove and the Padres bullpen. St. Louis hasn’t had a lot of batted ball luck with a .274 BABIP, but has made a lot more hard contact than previous seasons.

If nothing else, it provides some hope that the Cardinals will start swinging the bats a little bit better as the season goes along. Their 95 wRC+ is pretty much on par with where they have been the last few seasons, but the influx of hard contact should eventually pay dividends.

St. Louis may not have the best offensive stats, but the Cardinals are a team that has done an excellent job defensively this season. One of the benefactors has been Adam Wainwright. Waino has a 3.80 ERA with a 4.02 FIP. His 77.3% LOB% has allowed him to keep that ERA under 4 and that has a lot to do with how the defense has played behind him, especially as more of a pitch-to-contact guy.

Wainwright actually has a few more strikeouts this season compared to previous seasons, but nobody will ever mistake him for being a strikeout guy with a cutter/curve combo designed to induce ground balls and weaker contact. At least Wainwright has a pretty decent bullpen behind him. The Cardinals pen has issued a lot of walks, but still heads into this game with an ERA well under 4 and a FIP well under as well.
<h2><strong><u>San Diego Padres</u></strong></h2>
Chris Paddack is always such a wild card in his starts because he has a really limited arsenal. Paddack is mostly a fastball/changeup guy and it seems as though the Padres have made a concerted effort to focus on optimizing those two pitches instead of working with him on something new.

Paddack has a 4.78 ERA, but also boasts a 3.08 FIP, so positive regression should be coming sooner rather than later for him. A LOB% in the low 50s is the reason why his ERA is so much higher than his FIP. Paddack has really strong K/BB numbers, but has had problems getting out of innings, so he’s run up that ERA a little bit.

The Padres offense is a massive underachiever right now. San Diego has one of the highest walk rates in baseball with a really low strikeout rate, but has a .276 BABIP, so balls in play have not found enough holes, despite a lot of hard contact. San Diego has been one of the unluckiest teams on high-velocity contact and once those fortunes normalize, this is a team ready to go on a big run.

San Diego’s bullpen has posted a 2.73 ERA with a 3.63 FIP even though there have been some injuries to relievers and depth guys that would be multi-inning relievers at the MLB level. A lot of credit goes to the guys that have been able to consistently pitch well late in games, especially with the lower margin for error with the San Diego offensive struggles.
<h2><strong><u>Cardinals vs. Padres Free Pick</u></strong></h2>
The Padres are a team to bet on right now. You should be buying stock in them, as a lot of their underlying metrics suggest much better fortunes sooner rather than later for this team. While Wainwright could very well have a higher ceiling than Paddack, there are a lot of compelling reasons for betting on the Padres and once they really get it going, you won’t see lines like this for long.

<p>The MLB schedule for Wednesday, August 17, is offering us 15 games including this National League matchup, and here you can read the best Rockies vs. Cardinals betting pick and odds.</p>



<p>Colorado and St. Louis will play the second of a three-game series at Busch Stadium, and the Cardinals are -200 moneyline favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi/">BetDSI Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 7.5 runs. These National League rivals have met three times before this series and the Rockies won two of those games in Colorado.</p>



<p><strong>Rockies lost the home series to the D-Backs</strong></p>



<p>The Colorado Rockies opened a home series against the divisional foes Arizona Diamondbacks with a victory but they lost the next two. They even failed to score in one of those losses, which is rare for the Rockies at Coors Field.</p>



<p>Colorado did improve in that regard in the final game of the series, scoring four runs, but it wasn’t enough to avoid a 7-4 defeat. Ryan McMahon and Randal Grichuk were the only Rockies with a multi-hit display, while Ryan Feltner dropped to a 2-4 record after surrendering five runs on seven hits with three strikeouts and two walks over 4.1 innings.</p>



<p>German Marquez (6-9) will be on the mound for the 23rd time this season and is looking for the first win in five starts. The 27-year-old righty owns a bloated 5.08 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and a 104/44 K/BB ratio in 127.2 innings of work.</p>



<p><strong>Cardinals edged the Brewers in a three-game home series</strong></p>



<p>The St. Louis Cardinals managed to win two of three games in a divisional series against the Milwaukee Brewers at home. These victories helped them to overtake the Brewers at the top of the NL Central, and the Cards are hoping to stay there following this series with Colorado.</p>



<p>The final game of the series was interesting as we saw six homers, four of which were scored by the hosts to get a 6-3 win. Albert Pujols blasted a pair of home runs and drove in four runs in total, while Dylan Carlson and Tyler O’Neill added a homer each. Miles Mikolas bounced back from his catastrophic performance at Coors Field with eight strong innings during which he let two runs on four hits with six strikeouts and no walks.</p>



<p>Jordan Montgomery (5-3) is starting for the 23rd time this year and 3rd for St. Louis after his trade from the Yankees. The 29-year-old left-hander will carry a 3.37 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and a 106/26 K/BB ratio over 125.2 innings.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Colorado:</strong></p>



<ul><li>3-7 in the last ten road games vs. a left-handed starter</li><li>1-4 in the last five during game 2 of a series</li><li>2-7 in the last nine Wednesday games</li></ul>



<p><strong>St. Louis:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-0 in the last five home games vs. a team with a losing record</li><li>14-3 in the last 17 games with the total set at 7.0-8.5</li><li>5-1 in the last six home games vs. a right-handed starter</li></ul>



<p><strong>Colorado Rockies vs. St. Louis Cardinals Pick&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Even though I believe the Cardinals are a better team and will be more motivated to get a win as they are fighting for the divisional title, I don’t think the Rockies will come with a white flag here at Busch Stadium. Marquez pitched well in his previous start against the Cardinals, registering a 3.00 ERA in 6.00 innings. Montgomery didn’t allow a single run in his first two starts for St. Louis, but given how the Rockies are batting against southpaws (.278 BA with 5.29 runs per nine innings), I will be shocked if Monty has another shutout start. I am giving an advantage to the hosts, but the Rockies will stay close in this one.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Rockies +1.5 Run Line at -120</p>



<p><strong>The Total</strong></p>



<p>The last time Marquez started against St. Louis we had 14 runs in total, but that was played at Coors Field, and this will be at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals, just like the Rockies, are better against southpaws, so I am backing German to log a quality start and limit the hosts to two-three runs here. Under is 7-3 in the Cardinals’ last ten games with the total set at 7.0-8.5, while Under is 4-1 in St. Louis’ previous five home games vs. a right-handed starter.<strong>Pick:</strong> Go Under 7.5 runs at -110</p>
