SBG Global Opening Line: Dodgers  -  150 ,  Total  8.5 Over – 120

 

Two of the top teams in the National League begin a weekend series in Milwaukee as the Brewers host the Los Angeles Dodgers.  The Dodgers send their ace, Chad Billingsley on Friday while the Brewers counter with Braden Looper.  Billingsley will be going for his 10th win of the season on Friday.  He is 9-4 with a 3.14 ERA this season while Looper is 7-4 with a 4.78 ERA.

 

SBG Global reports that early MLB Betting has the public taking Dodgers on the Road.

 

Billingsley hasn’t gotten a win since June 14th but not all of that is his fault. He had a sure win get away in his last start when Jonathan Broxton blew the save.  He is 2-0 in his career against the Brewers.

 

Looper is coming off a solid outing against the Cubs where he allowed just two run on six hits in six innings.  He is 4-1 at home this season with a 4.03 ERA in ten starts.

 

The Brewers expect to get Corey Hart back on Friday.  He injured his foot on Tuesday but hopes to be back in the lineup on Friday. He is hitting .256 this season with nine home runs and 35 RBIs. “We have two guys who have basically carried us,” Hart said about All-Stars Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun, “and now Casey [McGehee] is coming on strong. We’re right in the hunt, [even though] a bunch of guys aren’t doing what they want to do. It could be a lot worse. We’re all going to get better offensively. You figure it’s got to turn around. We’ll put up numbers when we get that consistency going.”

 

Here are the MLB Betting stats for Friday’s game. The Dodgers are 5-0 in their last five series openers. The Dodgers are 4-1 in their last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Dodgers are 35-17 in the last 52 meetings against Milwaukee.

 

The Brewers are 16-7 in their last 23 series openers. The Brewers are 6-13 in their last 19 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Brewers are 7-3 in Looper’s last 10 home starts.

 

SBG Global Current Line: Dodgers  -  133 ,  Total  8.5 Over – 120

 

The Over is 6-1 in the Dodgers last 7 road games. The Under is 5-1 in the Brewers last 6 home games vs. a right-handed starter. The Under is 8-2 in the Brewers last 10 vs. the National League West.

MLB Betting Preview
New York Mets at Philadelphia Phillies
Friday, 7:05 pm Eastern


SBG Global Opening Line: Phillies  -115, Total 8 Under -115

 

The marquee pitching matchup on Friday takes place in Philadelphia as Cole Hamels and the Phillies host Johan Santana and the Mets.  It should be a classic matchup between two of the best pitchers in baseball.  “They both have a devastating changeup. Santana has a little more experience, with a couple of Cy Youngs, and Cole is still getting to a point where he wants to be.” Phillies pitcher J.C. Romero said, “It’s going to be a great game, and I can’t wait to see it. I’m going to be a fan for the first six, seven innings. Hopefully, I’ll get a good one.”  SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Mets on the Road.

 

The Mets took two of three from the Phillies at Shea Stadium in their first meetings of the season. This series is in Philadelphia and Hamels is ready for the matchup against Santana. “I don’t even care,” Hamels said. “The guy could have eight arms and it’s not going to bother me.” Hamels is coming off a win over the Cubs.  He threw seven shutout innings giving up only one hit. Hamels is 1-1 with a 2.77 ERA against the Mets in four career starts.

SBG Global Current Line: Phillies  -110, Total 7.5 Over -115

 

Santana has lost two games this season including two against the Brewers.  He gave up three home runs in the last game against Milwaukee.  He struck out seven and walked two.  He will be facing a Phillies lineup that scored 10 runs on Thursday in a 10-2 win over Houston.  Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Pat Burrell homered in the same game for the first time this season. “It’s good to see our offense come alive,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. “We could’ve scored more runs, but we left 11 guys on base. We didn’t knock guys in with less than two outs, and we have to get better at that.”

Every starting position player except Eric Bruntlett had at least two hits while Chris Coste had four hits, including a home run. “As a team, we needed a game like this,” Coste said. “It’s a lot easier to hit when there are runs on the board, just like it’s easier to pitch, like for Brett, when we got the lead. It becomes contagious. You go up there with nothing to lose and sometimes you have games like this.”
