MLB Betting Preview 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.

Tuesday, 8:15 pm Eastern – FOX SBG Global Opening Line: American - 138 , Total 10 Flat The 79th Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be played at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night and should be a classic on and off the field. A total of 47 Hall of Fame players are expected to participate in pre-game ceremonies. It should be quite an event in New York. SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking American at Home. The defending World Series champion Boston Red Sox had seven players selected to the game although David Ortiz will not play due to a wrist injury. The surprising selection was Boston catcher Jason Varitek but the players’ have a say in who makes the All-Star team and Varitek is a lot more popular than White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski who is more deserving. With the All-Star game being played in New York, American League manager Terry Francona may choose to start Mariano Rivera. The Yankee closer would be a great choice since the starting pitchers in the All-Star game only go 2-3 innings anyway. Rivera has 23 saves this season and would be a very popular choice as the American League starting pitcher. He has not started a game since his rookie year. SBG Global Current Line: American - 145 , Total 10 Under -120 On the other side of the field, National League manager Clint Hurdle is leaning toward starting Carlos Zambrano of the Cubs. Zambrano has the league’s third best ERA and is set up perfectly to start the game since he last pitched on Wednesday. “If he wants to start me for the All-Star Game, I would do it,” Zambrano said. “It would be an honor for me.” Zambrano pitched one inning in 2004 and was selected to the 2006 team but did not appear. Francona and Hurdle are the two managers for the game because their teams won their respective leagues last season and met in the World Series. A late change to the National League lineup has Rockies outfielder Matt Holliday replacing injured Alfonso Soriano of the Cubs. Holliday was already on the roster but was not a starter. The two players added from the fan’s vote for the All-Star game were Corey Hart of the Brewers and Evan Longoria of the Rays. MLB betting stats show that the American League has dominated the All-Star game recently. They are unbeaten in the last 10 games at 9-0-1 with the ridiculous tie in the 2002 game thrown in there. Four of the last six All-Star games have gone over the total as the teams combined to score 14 runs in 2002, 13 in 2003, 13 in 2004 and 12 in 2005. The 2006 game was a low-scoring 3-2 game while last season the American League won 5-4.

MLB Betting Preview SBG Global Opening Line: Cubs – 118, Total 9.5 Flat The Houston Astros return home after a very successful 7-3 road trip to take on the division leading Chicago Cubs. Lance Berkman has been tearing up the league and leading the Astros recently, hitting .545 during his 17-game hitting streak with 8 home runs and 21 RBIs. The Astros are 11-6 at home this season. SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Cubs on the Road. The Cubs hit the road after going 8-2 on their 10-game home stand. They have lost 7 of their last 10 on the road. The Cubs go with Ted Lilly on Monday. He is 4-4 with a 5.33 ERA on the season. He gave up four runs but picked up a win last Wednesday against San Diego. “I don’t think I just stand out there and try to throw fastballs by guys,” Lilly said. “I have to mix my pitches and change speeds and locate the ball and things like that. And at times, when I got my curveball going, I’m going to get some strikeouts on it. But I’m not going to say I’m a power pitcher.” He is 1-1 with a 3.60 ERA in three career starts against the Astros. Houston starts Brian Moehler who is 1-0 with a 4.58 ERA this season. He is 1-0 with a 3.91 ERA in six career outings against the Cubs. SBG Global Current Line: Cubs – 125, Total 10 under -120 Here are the MLB betting stats for Monday’s game.

MLB Betting Preview SBG Global Opening Line: White Sox -138, Total 9.5 Under -115 The New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox play the middle game of their three-game set on Wednesday with Mike Mussina matching up against Javier Vazquez. The Yankees have gotten very little out of Mussina so far this season as he is 1-3 on the year with an ERA of 5.75. Vazquez has been pretty good for Chicago going 3-1 with a 3.20 ERA. SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking White Sox at Home. Mussina could easily be the odd man out of the rotation if his pitching does not improve. Manager Joe Girardi was questioned about Mussina but said he has no plans to skip him in the rotation at this point. Mussina gave up five runs in just three innings in his last outing against the Red Sox. Vazquez is coming off an outing in which he gave up just two runs in six innings against Tampa Bay. Vazquez had his 15 shutout inning streak snapped in that game. This is the second game of a 7-game home stand for the White Sox. The Yankees and White Sox should put up some runs considering the Sox lead the American League in home runs. The Yankees may not hold the mystique of previous seasons either. “It’s not any different,” White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said, “I think we know they are a good ballclub and when Yankees come into town, any town they come in, that’s the talk of the town that day. But we should go out and play the way we should be playing right now and continue to do this stuff, and don’t worry about who we are facing.” SBG Global Current Line: White Sox -135, Total 9.5 Over -115 The White Sox are getting excellent hitting from players like Jim Thome, Jermaine Dye and A.J. Pierzynski. Even the young players like Carlos Quentin are contributing. “The whole lineup is a potent lineup, with all the veterans who are proven hitters,” Quentin said. “And some guys they aren’t going to throw fastballs down the middle, It’s a tribute to them [Sox hitters] they realize that.” The White Sox were just 4-6 against the Yankees last season and they have lost 9 of the past 12 series against New York. “I like to play against the best. It brings the best out of you,” Guillen said. “It’s kind of weird because we never play them so early and this year we do; and hopefully we will go out … and continue to do what we’re doing.” Here are the MLB betting stats for Wednesday’s game. The Yankees are 41-16 in their last 57 Wednesday games. The Yankees are 160-75 in their last 235 vs. the American League Central. The Yankees are 6-14 in their last 20 games as an underdog.

Zambrano is 2-1 on the season with an ERA of 3.04 and is coming off a nice outing on Wednesday against Cincinnati when he allowed only two runs in seven innings.

SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Cubs at Home. John Maine gets the start for the Mets on Monday. He is 1-1 on the season with a 3.78 ERA. He did not pitch well against the Cubs last season, posting a 10.57 ERA against them. Maine has been solid this season except for giving up walks. He gave up four in his last start on Wednesday against Washington. “The walks, they’ve been up in all these games,” Maine said. “To be able to miss that bad – in the seventh after I got two outs – it’s frustrating.” The Mets lost on Sunday at Philadelphia 5-4, ending their five game winning streak.

MLB Betting Preview 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.” Here are the MLB betting stats for Friday’s game. The Mets are 4-0 in their last 4 vs. the National League East. The Mets are 4-0 in their last 4 road games vs. a left-handed starter. The Mets are 4-1 in their last 5 games as a road underdog.

MLB Betting Preview SBG Global Opening Line: Indians  - 123, Total 9 Under -120  The Detroit Tigers have started to play well since manager Jim Leyland threw a tirade last weekend. They will now look to get pitcher Justin Verlander on track as they face the Cleveland Indians on Thursday. Verlander is 0-2 with a 6.52 ERA this season. He has pitched a little bit better than his numbers indicate though. He allowed only one run on two hits in seven innings last Saturday but lost control in the 8th inning and was charged with six runs before the inning was over. SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Indians at Home .  The Indians will go with Fausto Carmona on Thursday. Carmona is 1-1 on the year with an ERA of 2.20. He had pitched well until losing control against Oakland last Saturday when we walked a career-high 8 hitters. In eight career outings against Detroit, Carmona is 3-2 with a 3.35 ERA  The matchup between the Tigers and the Indians was expected to be between the top two teams in the Central Division and maybe by the time the season it will be but that is not the case now. The Tigers have really struggled but Cleveland has not played much better. “We want to try to win as many we can,” Detroit reliever Todd Jones said. “We’re so far behind the 8-ball with the losses, we’ve got our work cut out for us.” Detroit is finally starting to hit the ball and if their pitching gets straightened out it may not take the Tigers long to get back on track. “Not that we want to get down,” manager Jim Leyland said, “but we feel like our offense is capable of striking at any time, and strike kind of big from time to time.”  The Indians haven’t done nearly as well as expected to start the season but with the Tigers’ slow start the Indians struggles haven’t been as well documented. “When we hit, we don’t pitch. When we pitch, we don’t hit,” first baseman Ryan Garko said. “I just think we’ve got to be consistent in all phases of the game.”  Here are the MLB betting stats for Thursday’s game. The Tigers are 4-10 in their last 14 games on grass.

MLB Betting Preview SBG Global Opening Line: Padres  - 157, Total 7 Over -120 The Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres conclude a three-game set on Thursday evening at Petco Park. Jake Peavy gets the start for the Padres while Jeff Francis goes for the Rockies. Peavy is already in mid-season form with an ERA of 1.64 and a 3-0 record. Francis has struggled so far going 0-2 with a 9.53 ERA. SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Padres at Home.  Colorado is struggling to score runs and that doesn’t look to improve on Thursday against Peavy and the Padres. This series is a rematch of last year’s Wild Card game that has very bad memories for San Diego. The loss to Colorado in that game cost the Padres as chance at glory. Colorado won 9-8 in 13 innings in that game and went on to the World Series where they lost to Boston. “It was definitely amazing,” Rockies catcher Yorvit Torrealba said. “Twenty years from now I’m still going to remember that game.” If Colorado has not won that game they would never have had the subsequent success that ended in the World Series. “That was an unreal game, something I’ll always remember,” said Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, “It was cool for baseball fans to be able to watch that game.” SBG Global Current Line: Padres  - 166, Total 7 Over -120  Both Colorado and San Diego are looking up at Arizona in the National League West this season as the Diamondbacks picked up right where they left off last year. Both teams have similar rosters to what they had last season although each made some minor changes. The Rockies did lose second baseman Kaz Matsui who went to Houston while the Padres signed Jim Edmonds to replace Mike Cameron in center and added second baseman Tadahito Iguchi. The Rockies now have Mark Redman and Franklin Morales in the rotation while the Padres picked up Randy Wolf to bolster the rotation.  Here are the MLB betting stats for Thursday’s game. The Rockies are 19-7 in their last 26 vs. the National League West. The Rockies are 5-12 in their last 17 overall. The Rockies are 2-7 in their last 9 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Rockies are 1-5 in their last 6 games as an underdog.

Francis is happy to not be facing the Diamondbacks who throttled him in both of his starts this season. He wasn’t much better against the Padres last year going 1-3 with a 6.61 ERA against them in five starts. Peavy allowed seven hits and two runs over the first three innings, but just one run on two hits over the last three innings in his last start against the Dodgers. This is Peavy’s first time facing the Rockies since last year’s Wild Card play-in game.

MLB Betting Preview The Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals have started the season in fine form with the Brewers starting 8-4 and the Cardinals going 9-4. Milwaukee is getting some unexpected help as Gabe Kapler, who was coaching in the minor leagues last season is leading the way. Kapler is batting .423 with four home runs and 11 RBIs this season. He was 3-for-4 with a double and a home run in Sunday’s 9-7 win over the Mets. “I’m not so sure when he wakes up in the morning if it’s not all been a dream,” manager Ned Yost said. “He’s just done so well. It’s unbelievable what he’s been able to do.” SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Cardinals at Home.  The Brewers have needed Kapler’s heroics considering Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun have done nothing so far this season. Fielder hit 50 home runs last season but has none so far this year. Braun hasn’t been much better hitting .226 although he has 3 home runs.  St. Louis is coming off a 7-4 loss on Sunday against San Francisco. The Cardinals had been getting solid starting pitching until Sunday when Joel Piniero struggled. The starters have gone 2-2 with a 5.82 ERA in their last seven starts after sparkling in the first six games. Braden Looper is 2-0 with a 3.09 ERA this season and he gets the start on Tuesday. He pitched 5 2-3 innings on Wednesday against Houston, allowing three runs and five hits in a 6-4 win. He is 3-4 with a 4.93 ERA in 29 appearances against the Brewers. Last year he really struggled against Milwaukee as he went 1-2 with a 7.88 ERA. SBG Global Current Line: Cardinals - 120, Total 8.5 Over -120            The Brewers go with Dave Bush on Tuesday. Bush has been a disaster so far this season going 0-2 with an ERA of 8.44. It could be the last start for Bush for a while since Yovani Gallardo is expected to come off the disabled list soon. Bush allowed five runs and six hits in his last outing against the Red. He is 1-3 with a 7.61 ERA in four career starts against the Cardinals. Last season the Cardinals were 8-7 against the Brewers. They were 4-2 against the Brewers at home.  Here are the MLB betting stats for Tuesday’s game. The Brewers are 5-0 in their last 5 Tuesday games.
