In the world of baseball betting, Greg Peterson's Daily MLB Lines and Baseball Betting Show Podcast are a must-listen for many enthusiasts. Today, let's take a closer look at some of the games Peterson has highlighted for Sunday, August 10.

In the Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals game, Peterson's Handicapped Total stands at 8.3, suggesting an Over 7.5 Runs play. The Cubs lineup ranks second in the league in scoring, averaging 5.1 runs per game, while the Cardinals offense is no slouch either, averaging 4.7 runs per game.

On the mound for the Cubs, Shota Imanaga boasts a 3.12 ERA but a 4.47 fielding independent. He has allowed 1.6 home runs and strikes out 7.1 batters per nine innings. Meanwhile, Cardinals starter Sonny Gray has a 4.21 ERA but a 3.09 fielding independent.

In the Washington Nationals vs. San Francisco Giants game at 4:05 PM Eastern, Justin Verlander and MacKenzie Gore face off. Verlander owns a 4.29 ERA and allows 1.3 home runs per nine innings at home, while Gore has a 4.29 ERA and a 3.70 fielding independent. However, Gore is in a slump, having allowed 23 runs across his last four starts. Washington's bullpen ERA of 5.88 is the worst in the league.

In the Padres vs. Red Sox game, no specific plays or predictions are mentioned, but it's worth noting that both teams have strong bullpens. San Diego leads the league with a 3.07 ERA, while Boston ranks fifth at 3.39.

Padres starter Dylan Cease has a 4.60 ERA but a 3.51 fielding independent and NL-best 11.8 strikeouts per nine innings. On the other hand, Red Sox starter Brayan Bello has a 3.03 ERA while allowing just 0.9 home runs per nine innings.

In the Oakland Athletics vs. Baltimore Orioles game, both starting pitchers, Cade Povich and an unspecified Athletics starter, have ERAs above 5.25. The Athletics' bullpen, with a 5.21 ERA, ranks 28th in the league.

Lastly, in the Cincinnati Reds vs. Pittsburgh Pirates game at 1:35 PM Eastern, Zack Littell faces a Pirates offense averaging fewer than 3.6 runs per game.
