Sports Betting Preview – Five to watch for on Friday

Posted on 10th July 2009 in Sports

The weekend is always the most exciting time if you’re sports betting online, but before you get to Saturday night’s UFC 100 odds, there are a few baseball betting matchups to watch for.

St. Louis Cardinals vs Chicago Cubs (2:20 PM ET)

Two pitchers known for injured pasts face off in this NL Central clash, as St. Louis’ Chris Carpenter (6-3, 2.32) takes on Chicago’s Rich Harden (5-5, 5.35), who got lit up by Milwaukee in his last start.

Cleveland Indians vs Detroit Tigers (7:05 PM ET)

Cleveland’s Cliff Lee (4-8, 3.45) will be praying for some run support as they head to Detroit to take on Edwin Jackson (6-4, 2.59). Look at the posted total when you’re sports betting online, because it’ll be low.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs Milwaukee Brewers (8:05 PM ET)

Los Angeles ace Chad Billingsley (9-4, 3.14) goes for his 10th win of the year against Braden Looper (7-4, 4.78), and Billingsley has been great on the road with a 3-1 mark and a 2.92 ERA in nine starts.

Florida Marlins vs Arizona Diamondbacks (9:40 PM ET)

Dan Haren (8-5, 2.16) would have at least three more wins if it weren’t for a lack of run support, but he’ll give it another shot when his Diamondbacks host Ricky Nolasco (6-6, 5.42) and the surprising Marlins.

New York Yankees vs Los Angeles Angels (10:05 PM ET)

In a meeting of pitchers that were rocked in their last start, the Yankees will send out Joba Chamberlain (4-2, 4.04) will take the hill against John Saunders (8-5, 4.44), who has given up 13 runs in his last nine innings.
