Baseball Odds at Get That Bet — Peavy Makes Debut For Giants Against Ryu, Dodgers

MLB fans, as well as those who are constantly looking to conquer the baseball odds at Get That Bet, have been thrilled to a certain extent by the ultra-competitive race in the National League West, where the Los Angeles Dodgers have once again assumed the top position. On Sunday night they will try to protect that when they tackle the San Francisco Giants in baseball betting action that is scheduled to begin at 8:05 PM ET at AT&T Park.

On Saturday night the Dodgers got one of those classic performances out of their ace, Clayton Kershaw, who held the Giants to just two hits in a complete game shutout. Kershaw, who has won his last nine decisions, is headed toward his third Cy Young Award. The Dodgers, who won the NL West last season, came back from a 9.5-game deficit to overtake the slumping Giants within a month, and then lost that lead back as San Francisco started to gather itself. Now they are a half-game ahead in the division, and they go after the clean sweep on Sunday.

The starter for the Dodgers is Kyun-Jin Ryu, who may have some momentum after outstanding efforts in his last two bouts, while the Giants will break out a brand new acquisition who is no stranger to the Dodgers. Former Cy Young winner Jake Peavy, who was acquired in a trade with the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, is going to get the assignment from San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy, who was once his manager with the San Diego Padres.

In the baseball odds that have been established on this game by the people at Get That Bet, the Dodgers are the favorites:

Los Angeles Dodgers (Ryu – L) -130
San Francisco Giants (Peavy – R) +110

Over 7 Runs -115
Under 7 Runs -105

Peavy is just 1-9 this season with a 4.72 ERA, and the Red Sox were looking for someone – anyone – to make a deal for him. But Bochy obviously knows him well, because he was the skipper for five years when Peavy was with the Padres. In 2007, the year Bochy moved over to San Francisco, Peavy won the Cy Young Award in the process of a dream season in which he led the National League in wins, K’s and ERA. And baseball odds bettors know that he was an American League All-Star with the Chicago White Sox just two years ago. Apparently general manager Brian Sabean got all kinds of recommendations on him, and Bochy is very enthusiastic about having him aboard.
