Mediocre 2-3 last night though hit a nice runline with plus money with Texas. Today I have a 6 Pack for all to use,follow,or enjoy!
Texas -1.5 +170 (Wilson) vs Baltimore (Chen)- Texas righthanded batters eat up lefthanded pitchers with the likes of Soriano,Texiera,Mench,Young,etc. Like yesterday, I expect more of the same. Baltimore won their 1 game for their interim yesterday but expect Rangers home field reign in this one in another similar score to 13-5 as Texas hitters are very streaky and they look like they are getting ready for another hot streak.
Cardinals -110 (Mulder) vs Atlanta (Smoltz)- This is a bigger series for Cardinals than it is for Braves though people may disagree. Cards lost 2 out of 3 in Atlanta earlier this year on 2 1 run games that were decided by some poor umpiring (worst I have seen this year)! Atlanta is 3 games below .500 in road games while Cards sport an over .600 home record which is one of the best in baseball. Cards play 19 of next 26 games on the road which is broken into only 2 trips with the first next week (Brewers-3, Cubs-4) and after a 7 game homestand go on the road for a 4 city 12 game roadtrip to Pittsburgh, Washington, Florida, and Cincinnati. I look for Cards superior bullpen and timely hitting from Pujols,Edmonds,and Eckstein to win the game in the last 3 innings. Smoltz and Mulder are both pitching well right now so I put the sp as a wash. This will be Braves rooks first big series on the road matching up with NL best so I expect them to be a little tight with the sold out crowd in STL!
Dodgers (Lowe) vs Pirates (Fogg) over 8.5 -125 - I expect Lowe to be distracted while Fogg has not been setting anybody on fire. I expect this to be a highly offensive game especially in the bandbox in Pitt!
Phillies (Lidle) +108 vs Brewers (Sheets)- Brewers are coming to Philly playing fairly well but due to that series in NY I expect a worn out bullpen! Their pitching was poor in NY and the fact that Shea is a pitchers ballpark won't bode well going to Citizens. Phillies bats are stronger than Mets! I look for an offensive game as Lidle was not sharp in his last outing but for Sheets this ballpark will be a nightmare if he doesn't get the ball down in the strike zone!
Big Underdog Pick:
Seattle (Piniero) +175 vs Chicago (Garcia)- Not too many people have probably noticed but White Sox have not been playing very well at home since the week before the all star game. Lost 2 of 3 to Jays, 2 of 4 to Red Sox, all 3 to As, and 2 of 3 to Detroit for an overall record at home in last 13 games of 4-9! Seattle actually has not been too bad of late even sweeping a 4 game series before break at Anaheim. Garcia will be going up against ex mates and may be overpumped up. I see the big boppers of the Mariners going long in this one to be the difference!
Cubs (Hill) +109 vs Mets (Glavine)- Cubs should be gaining a big emotional lift in this one with the return of Kerry Wood, Nomar Garciaparra, and the first apperearance of Scott Williamson. Cubs were swept in NY earlier this year vs Yanks and know a repeat performance would be disasterous. Mets have had the bats going lately led by Piazza but Cubs pitching is different than the Brewers who they didn't even see their best in Sheets or I believe Capuano. Loser of this game will fall below .500 so should be fairly competitive but the difference in this one will be Cubs bullpen of Wood,Williamson, and Dempster.
Best of luck everyone!
