Moving Today's Market
It’s not an exciting day for pitching macthups, and the number of bets show it (only two games have breached 10,000 bets). Only three games contain a pair of starting pitchers with sub 4.00 ERAs, but two are battles between division leaders and the teams directly trailing them in the standings.
Oakland @ Anaheim is first of these, and is seeing most of the early action due to a late afternoon start time. The bets and the money seem to slightly favor the Angles’ Joe Saunders (11-4. 3.06 ERA) over the Athletics’ Dana Eveland (6-5, 3.34).
The other division battle sees Tampa Bayace Scott Kazmir (7-3, 2.28) trying to complete the surprising three-game sweep against Daisuke Matsuzaka (9-1, 3.21) and the Boston Red Sox. Matsuzaka looks to continue his strong rebound since a horrendous first start after coming off the DL (1IP, 6H, 7ER vs. STL on 6/21).
Indians ace CC Sabathia (6-8, 3.78) looks to add to his trade value (and next contract) against Jose Contreras (7-6, 3.99) and the AL Central leading White Sox.

Tomorrow's Market Movers
Baseball fans have been excited all season for the battle between the Orioles and Royals, but I have a feeling the Red Sox @ Yankees four-game series might see a little action.
