Kentucky Derby Betting

This is the time of the year that horse racing fans dream about. Saturday, the first Saturday in May that is, the Kentucky Derby betting gets underway. The Run for the Roses takes place in Louisville, Kentucky at Churchill Downs. Every year tends to have a big story of its own.

This year’s big story reads much like last years story though. The favorite contender has been scratched. Just like last year, the Kentucky Derby betting has to be looked at with eagle eyes to determine who may even make it to the starting line on Saturday. So, in the 136th Run for the Roses on May 1, 2010, the Triple Crown run will get underway.

Now, to place your Kentucky Derby bets, look over those who have been scratched. Then examine the Kentucky Derby betting odds for Saturday’s race. Horses like Awesome Act are opening at 14/1.  And, if you take your horse racing and betting seriously, go ahead and make a pick for Triple Crown.

MLB  |  May 17
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Houston Astros
Milwaukee Brewers
-141
  at  5DIMES
> 10h.
With a day off on Wednesday in MLB we look to get back on a hot streak as we are still up big on the season. Thursday we have a total of nine pitchers with ERA's under 3.00 over their last three starts combined and a total of five pitchers with ERA's over 6.00 over their last three combined starts. There was one match up that stuck out and we marked them down as our POD.

Mark the Brewers Down! ( -140 2.5* FREE PLAY )
For whatever reason Shaun Marcum has loved to pitch on the road as he has an ERA of 3.20 over the last three years on the road. That's much better than his home record and he's back at it again with a 2.77 ERA this year. He's been great of late posting a 1.80 ERA, but the Brewers lost 2 of 3. He should be motivated to keep that up so he can get a W and the Astros are the team to do it against. He's got a 1.80 ERA over 3 starts vs. the Astros who carry just a .637 OPS in 73 AB vs. Marcum. A few weeks ago I'd be on the Astros, but they are starting to come back to earth as they are now 24th with a .686 OPS vs. RHP while the Brewers are 8th with a .737 OPS vs. LHP.

The Brewers are 8th and they face J.A. Happ who they have dominated. Happ and the Astros are 10-30 in their last 40 with Happ on the mound. He's really not the player they thought he'd be when they traded Roy Oswalt for him. Happ has a 5.40 ERA at home right now and the Brewers have a 1.139 OPS over 80 AB in their careers vs. Happ who carries a 6.08 ERA over the last three years vs. the Brewers. Brewers are 18-7 in their last 25 after Wednesday's loss to the Astros and are 47-17 in their last 64 vs. a losing team. Mark down the Brewers as a victory for Thursday.

Notable Hot Starters:
R.A. Dickey (2-1, 1.15 WHIP, 2.70 ERA)
Matt Cain (2-1, 0.90 WHIP, 2.14 ERA)
James McDonals (2-1, 1.05 WHIP, 2.05 ERA)
Brandon Beachy (2-1, 0.93 WHIP, 2.33 ERA)
Edinson Volquez (3-0, 1.20 WHIP, 1.47 ERA)
Doug Fister (1-2, 0.90 WHIP, 0.54 ERA)
Brandon McCarthy (3-0, 0.97 WHIP, 1.31 EAR)
Chris Sale (1-2, 1.00 WHIP, 2.84 ERA)

Cold Starter Of The Day:
On Thursday we have an ice cold starter that makes for an interesting match up in Luke Hochevar of the Royals. First of the Royals have been red hot since their cold start and Hochevar needs to get with the program. Against the Orioles he could do just that as he has great numbers vs. them in 96 combined at bats the Orioles have a .198 average and .590 OPS.

Notable Cold Starters:
J.A. Happ (1-2, 1.59 WHIP, 7.16 ERA)
Matt Moore (1-2, 1.86 WHIP, 6.43 ERA)
Matt Harrison (1-2, 1.41 WHIP, 8.27 ERA)
Chris Volstad (0-3, 1.71 WHIP, 7.94 ERA)
