As the UFC<\/span> 101 odds<\/a> approach, some of baseball’s top teams are slugging it out like two prize fighters in the octagon. Let’s have a look at some important MLB betting matchups<\/span> for Wednesday. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/font>Chicago<\/span><\/b><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> Cubs @ <\/span><\/b>Philadelphia<\/span><\/b><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> Phillies
<\/span><\/b>Carlos Zambrano (6-4, 3.36) vs<\/span> Jamie Moyer (9-6, 5.58)<\/span>
Wednesday, July 22, 1:05 p.m. ET<\/st1:time><\/p>\n

Tom Watson foiled everyone’s sports betting management<\/a> with his improbable British Open run. Could 46-year-old Jamie Moyer draw inspiration? He’s alternated good and bad starts lately and there’s more to that fact than meets the eye; almost all the bad starts come at home, where Moyer sports a 6.79 ERA and has allowed a whopping 13 homers in 50 innings. He’s never lost to the Cubs, but that could change if Milton Bradley and Alfonso Soriano<\/span> have anything to say about it. Bradley hits .350 lifetime<\/span> against Moyer, while Soriano<\/span> has four homers off him in 50 at-bats.<\/p>\n

Carlos Zambrano has allowed more than three runs just twice in 17 starts this season and has a 2.91 road ERA. He also has pitched fairly well against the Phillies in his career, so he’ll be fine. <\/p>\n

Daily MLB pick: Cubs<\/p>\n

St.<\/span><\/b><\/st1:address><\/st1:Street> Louis Cardinals @ <\/span><\/b>Houston<\/span><\/b><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> Astros
<\/span><\/b>Chris Carpenter (8-3, 2.26) vs<\/span> Roy Oswalt (6-4, 3.65)<\/span>
Wednesday, July 22, 8:05 p.m. ET<\/st1:time><\/p>\n

The marquee matchup of the day pits the sputtering Cardinals against the surging Astros with each team sending its ace to the hill. Chris Carpenter returned from the All-Star break with eight scoreless innings against Arizona<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> and he has a 3.00 ERA at Houston’s Minute<\/st1:PlaceName> Maid<\/st1:PlaceName> Park<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place>. Another huge plus for Carpenter; his nemesis Lance Berkman<\/span> (six homers, 12 RBI, 1.348 OPS in just 29 at bats against Carpenter) is nursing a calf strain and likely won’t play Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Roy Oswalt has been great in June and July but that Pujols<\/span> guy owns him worse than the Vikings own Brett Favre in NFL betting<\/a>, hitting .315 with five homers and 13 RBI in 73 career at-bats against him.<\/p>\n

It’s safe to say (a) this will be a low-scoring game and (b) Pujols<\/span> may be the only guy putting runs on the board for either team.<\/p>\n

Daily MLB pick<\/a>: Cardinals<\/o:p><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
