This pitcher has cashed in for bettors on the road

The San Francisco Giants are 7-1 in starting pitcher Ryan Vogelsong's last eight road starts this season.

The one loss in those eight games came across the bay in Oakland as the A's triumphed 5-0 back on July 7.

Vogelsong takes the mound Wednesday evening as the Giants visit the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park. Currently, the Giants are +125 road underdogs in the game.


Lopsided history in this interleague matchup

Being an interleague matchup, the San Diego Padres and Minnesota Twins do not play each other too frequently. But if history is any indication, the Twins get wide-eyed when they see the Padres on the schedule.

Following Tuesday's 3-1 victory at Target Field, the Twins are now 9-0 in the previous nine meetings between the two ball clubs.

The Twins are currently -115 home faves and will send Kevin Correia to the mound, while Odrisamer Despaigne is scheduled to pitch for the visiting Padres.
