There are plenty decent pitching matchups on the slate today, with Chris Carpenter and the Cardinals at the Astros, with Roy Oswalt, one of the best. San Francisco at Atlanta features Linecum and Jurrjens on the mound. Other big-names on the mound today are Zambrano, Billingsley and Felix Hernandez.

The public is hitting a number of teams heavily, as Colorado, Florida, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, Minnesota, Toronto, Tampa Bay and Boston are all receiving at least 80 percent of the wagers.

There are two under umpires working today, Brian Onora (7 overs-12 unders) is behind the plate in the Yankees' game, while Scott Barry (5-14) is working the Oakland game.

Mike DiMuro is behind the plate in San Diego and the home team has won 12 of the 19 games he has called, while CB Bucknor is calling balls and strikes in Toronto and the home team is 13-6 in his games.

The lone umpire with a strong tendency to see the road team win is Onora, as the visitors are 13-7 in his games.

Today's play is up at Free Sports Betting Picks located in the Sports Gambling 101 section of the site.

Thoughts on other games today will be posted in the forum.
