Sports Betting – A Look At Saturday’s Schedule

[Freddy Wills]

While sharps wait for the final on Sunday, there is plenty on Saturday to keep you occupied as there are a few baseball matchups to check out, as well as NASCAR under the lights in Kentucky, Wimbledon and a well-past-his-prime boxing legend fighting overseas.

MLB Odds

White Sox Yankees Odds (1:05 PM ET): Some may have written Jake Peavy off, and even though he has lost three in a row, it has been due to run support more than his play. Peavy and the White Sox take on Hiroki Kuroda and the Yankees in New York on Saturday.

Nationals Braves Odds (4:05 PM ET): Washington’s Stephen Strasburg will go for his third win of 2012, and 10th overall, when he leads the Nationals out in Atlanta to take on Mike Minor and the Braves in a National League East contest.

Reds Giants Odds (4:05 PM ET): The Giants’ pitching has been lights out recently, and Barry Zito will look to continue this when he and the Giants welcome Mat Latos and the Reds to San Francisco.

Phillies Marlins Odds (4:10 PM ET): Players that watch out for software will get a great matchup of southpaws in Miami as Mark Buerhle and Philadelphia’s Cole Hamels could make it a long afternoon for hitters.

Mets Dodgers Odds (7:15 PM ET): Los Angeles has had troubles scoring lately, and now they have to face Johan Santana and the Mets, while sending out Nate Eovaldi, who is still looking for his first win of the season.

NASCAR Betting

Quaker State 400 Odds (7:30 PM ET): Defending champion Kyle Busch is the sports betting ( for more sports betting odds) favorite in the second race at Kentucky Speedway, but he’ll have to hold off the likes of Jimmie Johnson and teammate Joey Logano, who won three straight Nationwide races here.

Wimbledon Odds

Roddick Ferrer Odds (5:00 AM ET): Great American hope Andy Roddick is a +200 underdog against David Ferrer in the third round of Wimbledon, a tournament where he has inconsistent results with three finals appearances, but none since 2009.

Boxing Betting

Jones Jr. Kostecki Odds (2:00 PM ET): Finally, Roy Jones Jr. steps into the ring in Poland as a +190 underdog against Dawid Kostecki in a cruiserweight bout that is contracted at 185 pounds. The fight is in Kostecki’s homeland of Poland, and Jones is 0-2 in his previous fights outside of the United States. He comes into this fight well past his best, although he beat Max Alexander for the UBO cruiserweight title in December. Still, a win over Kostecki would be a big upset in your .
