With the two teams having their first matchup on Tuesday as they actually were the underdogs in the game and still won 1-0. If that game was any indication it may be that runs scored tonight may be hard to come by. Starting for the Cardinals will be Jaime Garcia who is 4-2 with a low ERA of 1.28 with 42 Ks and 20 BBs. And for the Padres it will be Kevin Correia who is 4-4 with an ERA of 4.57 with 38 Ks and 16 BBs. Garcia is going after a win by a starting pitcher which would be the first in five games. Will these pitching stats change anything with the MLB betting or the MLB Odds?

The Cardinals are delighted by the performance on Monday of Pujol and they hope it may begin a streak of hitting for him. At the same time the Padres are looking for their Start at first to correct the problems he has had playing at home and that he will break out of the slump on this road trip.

The Padres record is 13-9 this 2010 season at home while the Cardinals are at almost an even 11-12 while playing away and on the road. With that said, it appears that the Twins and the Yankees have an equal chance of winning this matchup. Will this have a positive effect on the MLB Betting lines or MLB odds for this series game?
