MLB Betting – Saturday Baseball Picks
If you like interleague baseball lines, you have to get your bet on before it’s too late, as this weekend marks your last chance for 2009. Let’s have a look at a few of the top games to bet on this Saturday.
Saturday, June 27,
Tim Wakefield (4.47) vs Javier Vazquez (5-6, 3.18)
Javier Vazquez’s stats look a lot like Johan Santana’s this season, don’t they? He’s especially strong at Turner Field this season, posting a 3.21 ERA and whiffing 68 batters in just 53.1 innings. He’s in tough against the Red Sox—especially against J.D. Drew, who hits .417 off him with four homers in 24 at-bats. I still like the Braves to win this game, though.
Sportsbook pick: Braves
Saturday, June 27,
Barry Zito (4-7, 4.54) vs Seth McClung (3-1, 3.24)
Barry Zito has to be frustrating if you make MLB predictions. He pitched well in may (3.35 ERA) yet went 1-4; in June, he has a 6.10 ERA yet is 3-1. It’s thus hard to forecast San Francisco’s fate when Zito starts—at least, it usually is. On Saturday, we know what we’re getting. Zito gets lit up every time he visits
You could try to argue that Seth McClung is too unproven to trust, but your typical sportsbook software should show you that the numbers are overwhelmingly against San Fran here. Go with the Brew Crew.

Milton will make his first start since facing Philadelphia on June 5, when he gave up three runs and eight hits in 4 1-3 innings of Los Angeles’ 4-3 win.
The Mariners are also expected to activate catcher Kenji Johjima from the DL. Johjima, who has been out since May 26, may be behind the plate to catch Jason Vargas.
