This run line wager is too juicy to pass up at +150.

The Padres will bounce back today with their most reliable starter, Michael King, on the mound. SD didn't use any of its best bullpen arms last night, either. The Padres' offense is ready to break out again, and outscoring the Cardinals by more than one run is no herculean feat. I liked the Rockies -1.5 last night at basically the same odds, a free pick I suggested in my game preview article on our website, but didn't love it enough to offer it up as an additional pick to you. Today, though, I will not hesitate to bet this +150 run line wager on an NL West ballclub.

I feel confident SD will cover, and can't pass up on these odds, which is why the Padres -1.5 is my best bet of Thursday's MLB slate!
