2010 MLB Season - Philadelphia Phillies vs. Chicago Cubs Live Picks at Online Sportsbook
The Phillies' catcher finished the first half strong, hitting three doubles in two games and scoring both the runs in a pair of 1-0 wins over the Reds. Ruiz had missed 20 games with a concussion.
The Chicago Cubs are in the middle of a frustrating season for them and their fans and while it's time for them to make a move, so far it has looked as though it isn't something they are capable of doing. The Cubs entered the All Star break as losers of five of their last 10, 20-23 at home, and nine and a half games back in the National League Central.
Philadelphia (47-40) has won consecutive NL pennants and three straight division titles, but injuries have contributed to the Phillies ending the first half third in the NL East, 4 1/2 games behind first-place Atlanta.
Philadelphia has put 12 players on the DL this year and All-Star second baseman Chase Utley (thumb surgery) isn't expected back until next month.
Time is running out on the season and while it seems like there is time for chances, that time is getting less and less. This one is pretty simple, the Phillies are just a better team than the Cubs from what we have seen and in this case the records don't lie. As an underdog, this Phillies look even better.
Don't miss to watch the exciting match tonight for Philadelphia Phillies vs. Chicago Cubs

Venue: Fenway Park
Boston Red Sox vs. Texas Rangers Live Picks at Online Sportsbook
The Boston Red Sox were one game better than the Texas Rangers before the All-Star break, but they don't feel nearly as good about their situation as the teams begin the second half at Fenway Park.
The Rangers are still comfortably atop the AL West despite losing their last four games, while the Red Sox occupy third place in the AL East and remain without several key players as they open a four-game set with Texas on Thursday night.
Boston leads the majors with 481 runs - 28 more than the Rangers, who rank third on the strength of productive seasons by All-Stars Josh Hamilton and Vladimir Guerrero. Hamilton is challenging for a batting title with a .346 average, while Guerrero is second in the majors with 75 RBIs.
The powerful lineups could create problems for both of Thursday's starting pitchers - especially Boston's Tim Wakefield, who has gone 2-5 with a 5.96 ERA in his last eight starts.
Wakefield (3-7, 5.22 ERA) also has a 6.09 ERA in 34 outings versus Texas, and Guerrero has gone 10 for 23 with five homers and 10 walks against him.
Really this would be an exciting match for Red sox and Rangers fans.

Milwaukee Brewers vs Atlanta Braves Live Odds, Picks at Online Sportsbook
Starting pitchers are Milwaukee RHP Dave Bush and Atlanta RHP Jair Jurrjens. Dave Bush is 3-1 with a 3.37 ERA and six quality starts in his last six turns. He has not allowed more than two earned runs in his last five starts. Jurrjens allowed three runs in six innings in his final start before the break against Philadelphia, his second since coming off the disabled list June 30. Their pitching has been smacked around over the last several weeks as well but David Bush has been the exception as he has been coming on strong after a slow start. He comes in off a 4-3 victory over Pittsburgh in which he allowed just two runs over 6.1 innings. Dave bush has been solid versus Atlanta with 1-1 record in four outings with a 2.33 ERA.
Coming off an embarrassing four-game sweep by the San Francisco Giants, the Brewers turned around and swept the Pirates going into the break. The next three series could determine whether the Brewers buy or sell at the trade deadline. The Braves have won four of their last five and sit atop the National League East by four games thanks to the fourth-best team ERA in the league. They acquired shortstop Alex Gonzalez from Toronto on Wednesday, sending their shortstop, Yunel Escobar, to the Blue Jays.
