Time for you online betting<\/a> fans to build the perfect sports Saturday.<\/span><\/font><\/span> Surely you’ll be throwing down wagers on the UFC<\/span> 102 odds<\/a> at night. How about betting on some ballgames in the afternoon? Let’s try a two-game parlay.<\/p>\n

Atlanta<\/span><\/b><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> Braves @ Philadelphia Phillies<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Saturday, August 29, <\/span><\/font>7:05 p.m. ET<\/st1:time><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Derek Lowe (12-8, 4.48) vs<\/span> Cliff Lee (5-0, 0.68)<\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n


If you’ve done your homework, you’ll know that Derek Lowe loves pitching against the Phillies. He’s 5-1 in his career against them with a 2.64 ERA. However, as good as Lowe is, those numbers pale in comparison to what Cliff Lee has done for the Phillies since arriving at the trade deadline. In five starts with <\/span><\/font>Philadelphia<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>, Lee is 5-0 with a 0.68 ERA, a complete-game shutout, an 11-strikeout performance, a 0.75 WHIP, no homers allowed and a .175 opponents’ average. Just unbelievable.<\/span> Forget what you knew or didn’t know about Cliff Lee; he’s as untouchable now as he was at the start of his 2008 Cy<\/span> Young season. Bet on Philadelphia<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>.<\/p>\n

Colorado Rockies @ San Francisco Giants<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Saturday, August 29, <\/span><\/font>9:05 p.m. ET<\/st1:time><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Jason Marquis (14-8, 3.47) vs<\/span> Barry Zito<\/span> (8-11, 4.09)<\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n


Here’s another more-than-meets-the-eye matchup. It seems logical to bet on the <\/span><\/font>Rockies<\/st1:place> whenever they send Jason Marquis to the hill this season. The All-Star is 8-4 on the road this season and has a 2.74 ERA over two starts against the Rockies<\/st1:place>. However, if you look closer, you’ll see that Barry Zito<\/span> and the Giants are superior baseball picks Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Over two starts against Colorado<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> in ’09, Barry Zito<\/span> has tossed 13 scoreless innings. Proof that those numbers aren’t a fluke; Zito<\/span> has a 2.06 ERA since the All-Star break. For whatever reason, the enigmatic lefty has rediscovered his past dominance. You may as well ride it while it lasts.<\/p>\n
