Premium MLB Betting Predictions for August 12th
The Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres are set to square off in an exciting interleague matchup, with the Mariners currently on a seven-game winning streak (66-53) and the Padres looking to bounce back after a series loss to the Athletics.
In the betting world, the public is leaning slightly towards the Giants, but the line has moved in favor of San Diego (+115 to +100) due to sharp reverse line movement. This indicates respected wiseguy wagers backing the road dog. At DraftKings, the Padres are taking in 75% of moneyline bets and 76% of moneyline dollars, suggesting a strong backing from bettors.
The Padres have a solid record against the Giants this season, winning five out of seven games (5-2). They also performed well against teams with a .500 record or below, boasting a 41-27 (60%) win rate with a 7% ROI. San Diego is also hitting .247 against lefties, while the Giants are struggling against southpaws, with a batting average of just .211.
On the mound, the Padres will start Nestor Cortes (1-1, 7.11 ERA), while the Giants will counter with Robbie Ray (9-5, 2.85 ERA). The Mariners, on the other hand, will be led by George Kirby (7-5, 4.04 ERA).
Meanwhile, the Mariners have the edge in offensive firepower, with 171 home runs and 547 runs scored compared to the Orioles' 144 home runs and 505 runs. In their last game, the Mariners won the series finale against the Rays 6-3 as -180 home favorites.
Unfortunately, no specific betting trends were reported for the Mariners or Padres games on August 13, 2023, in the available search results. However, both teams are recognized as strong contenders for the 2025 season, with similar World Series odds at +1100, reflecting competitive but not dominant status betting-wise.
In another game, the Pittsburgh Pirates are facing a negative trend when starting pitcher Mitch Keller is on the mound against strong teams. Over the last six seasons, the Pirates were 10-22 (losing 8.14 units) under these circumstances, making betting on Pittsburgh a fade or no-play situation for that game.
In tonight's series opener, the Mariners are listed as -170 road favorites. The line opened with San Francisco listed as a -135 home favorite and San Diego a +115 road dog.
As always, bet responsibly and good luck!
