Sports Betting Page – Padres Getting a Huge Boost as Chris Young Returns. The San Diego Padres have made news all season on the sports betting page as they have shocked the baseball world by competing for the National League West title. The Padres have slipped recently but they are still in position to make the playoffs. They are getting some help too as starting pitcher Chris Young will return to the rotation and he could make a major impact on the Internet sports betting results for San Diego.
Young Goes on Saturday – When you look at the baseball odds at Sbg global for Saturday you will see the name of Chris Young. It has been a long time since we could say that. He has been out for the last 5.5 months with a strained right shoulder. He made only one start this season before going on the disabled list. He will be getting the start on Saturday as the Padres take on St. Louis.
Young’s Numbers – Young made three rehab starts in the minors and things went well. He allowed just three hits in 5 2/3 innings in his last start and struck out seven. Young had surgery on his right shoulder in August of 2009 and looked to be ready for the season and in his debut he was great as he allowed just one hit in six innings against Arizona. He felt tightness in his shoulder and went on the DL just a few days later. Young has only had a losing season once in his career and that was in 2009 when it was obvious he was hurt.
Young’s Experience – You should not discount Young when you look at the Padres on the sports betting page. He has been one of their top pitchers for a long while. He just hasn’t been healthy. He is the only San Diego pitcher to win a playoff game since 1998. When he is on his game he can be a very effective starting pitcher. His addition could be exactly what the Padres need in their push to make the playoffs. The San Diego starting rotation has been great this season but in recent weeks it has been getting worn down. The addition of Young to the rotation couldn’t come at a better time for the Padres.
