Bet on the Padres-Phillies game; get the best odds and bonuses

The MLB All-Star game saw the National League take down the American League in a 3-2 nailbiter.

Now after a few days off, the traditional MLB schedule makes its return, and Pennsylvania sportsbooks are offering odds on various games.

PA bettors might want to take a look at tonight’s game, which pits the San Diego Padres against the Philadelphia Phillies. Below, you’ll find odds for the game, plus our betting recommendations.

Before you read on, you can head to our Pennsylvania sports betting bonuses page to get in on some lucrative welcome offers from the state’s many sportsbooks.

The San Diego Padres take on the Phillies in the first of three games tonight at 5:05 p.m. at Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park.

Here are the odds at five of the best Pennsylvania sportsbooks.

Note: odds were taken at the time of writing and are subject to change. Check each sportsbook for the latest odds.

The sign-up bonus at DraftKings is a $50 bonus bet plus a playthrough up to $1,000. You can use the bonus to bet on this game if you wish.

FanDuel’s bonus is a 10x first bet bonus up to $200. You can place your first bet of $20 or more and get $200 in bonus credit whether that bet wins or loses.

When you join BetMGM Sportsbook PA, you can get up to $1,000 in bonus bets.

Caesars has the same exact odds as BetMGM, but the welcome bonus is different. You can get up to $1,250 on Caesars plus 1,000 reward credits.

Right now, the Padres are fourth in the NL West with a record of 43-47. San Diego has logged 6 wins in their last 10 games.

Meanwhile, Pennsylvania’s own Philadelphia Phillies have a winning record of 48-41 and an identical 6-4 record in their last 10 games.

The Phillies come into this series on the heels of a 2-1 series loss to the Miami Marlins. On the other hand, the Padres have some momentum, entering tonight’s game following a 2-1 series victory over the New York Mets.

As for betting, we like two bets.

First, we’d spring for the over 9.5. BetRivers has the best odds on this bet at -104, though the difference at other sports is negligible; the others offer -105. There’s solid value here, and history is on our side. The Padres have averaged 6.2 runs per game across their past 10 contests. The Phillies have averaged 5.1, but one of the games contributing to that average was a 19-4 win over the Washington Nationals.

Still, those averages paired with post-All-Star game freshness could be a recipe for a high-scoring game.

Second, we like the San Diego Padres’ run line at -1.5. It has great value at Caesars: +140. A $100 bet would pay out $140 (plus the initial bet). Despite their mediocre record, the Padres have proven they can reliably score runs and win games by double digits.

Pennsylvania is a thriving sports betting market. Aside from the sportsbooks above, the state has various others with MLB betting odds and promos. Alternative sites you can bet with include:

Both sportsbooks are great for MLB betting.

PA sportsbooks frequently offer special promotions and deals for MLB bettors even beyond welcome bonuses. Parlay insurance is a common one. If you build an MLB parlay and every leg except one hits, you get your money back up to a specific maximum. You might also find odds boosts or home run bet insurance. Take a look at individual sportsbook promotion pages for MLB-specific deals.
