The bet is on the Padres to easily cover the run line on Wednesday night with Dylan Cease on the hill. The right-hander has the stuff to send San Diego back home with a win, especially against the tired Angels lineup, which hits .227 with a .291 OBP vs. righties.

SD has a 22-8 RL record on the road, covering in 73.3 percent of its away games. It slashes .292 BA/.347 OBP/.415 SLG/.762 OPS on the road, averaging 5.1 runs/game. The Padres have hit right-handers pretty well (.273/.335/.412/.747), too. José Soriano and the LA bullpen (second-highest ERA in MLB with 28 HR allowed) are unreliable tomorrow.

I'll bet the Padres to cover the run line at plus odds!
