MLB Betting Odds, Trends and Free Picks – August 5

Gambling911.com has your MLB betting odds and a free pick for Saturday’s Nationals-Cubs game.

Nationals-Cubs - PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals RH Edwin Jackson (2-1, 3.75 ERA) vs. Cubs RH John Lackey (8-9, 4.87)

Both starting pitchers have performed well of late.

Jackson has been solid in three starts for the Nationals, going 2-1 with a 2.84 ERA but is 3-5 with a 5.89 ERA in 10 games (nine starts) against the Cubs.

Lackey has enjoyed a second-half revival, winning his first three starts since the All-Star break. The 38-year-old has allowed two runs or fewer in each outing and won at Milwaukee last time out, allowing two runs and five hits over six innings.

With a total of 10.5 (shooting up a full point from 9.5) this one looks like an easy UNDER but we will go completely against the grain on that one.

We have had three games in the last ten of this series go OVER 10.5. 

The Cubs have scored six or more runs in half of their last ten games overall, including a 16 run shocker just three games ago (followed by a shutout no less).

The Nationals have also scored six or more runs in half of their last ten games.
