The betting lines for this game have shown some interesting trends. According to MGM, the Padres are favored with odds of -189, while the Marlins are listed at +155. DraftKings and Bet365NewJersey have similar lines, with the Padres at -185 and -175 respectively. FanDuel offers slightly better odds for Marlins backers at +146. The consensus moneyline currently stands at -185 for the Padres and +154 for the Marlins.


One notable shift in the betting data is seen in Bet365NewJersey's odds. Initially opening at -180 for the Padres and +150 for the Marlins, they have moved to -185 and +155 respectively. This indicates increased confidence in a Padres victory among bettors.

The total runs line is another area of interest. Most sportsbooks, including MGM and DraftKings, have set the over/under at 7.5 runs. The odds for betting over 7.5 runs are generally around -120 across multiple books like FanDuel and WilliamHillNewJersey, while under 7.5 runs is listed at +100.


The run line sees the Padres favored by 1.5 runs with positive odds ranging from +118 to +122 depending on the sportsbook. Conversely, backing the Marlins with a +1.5 spread comes with negative odds around -140 to -146.

Consensus data reveals that 53 percent of bettors favor a moneyline bet on the Padres compared to 47 percent on the Marlins. Additionally, an overwhelming majority of 86 percent believe that the total score will go over 7.5 runs.


Machado's performance will be crucial in determining whether these predictions hold true. His ability to deliver under pressure has been a key factor in many of San Diego's victories this season.
