Mark Mulder vs. Matt White. Matthew is 6' 1" & only 180 LB, 28 years old & making his debut as a major league starter today. His previous MLB experience was relief work for BoSox in 2003. He pitched 4.2 innings, allowed 11 earned runs on 10 hits, 3 BBs & a loss, 27 ERA. There was also 2 innings served with Mariners, allowing 3 earned runs on 3 hits, 2 HRs, 2 BBs, 13.5 ERA. IMPRESSIVE!
Today little Matthew faces the St. Louis Cardinals, the team with the best record in MLB, starting Mark Mulder, & Cards have won 9 of his last 10 starts. Mulder has allowed 1 earned run in his last 2 starts, 17 innings of play. He's given up 2 runs or fewer in each of his last 9 outings.
Facing these crushing facts, Matthew ties up the laces & goes on the mound to lead a team that has absolutely no offense. The pressure is on for Matt to keep those Cards bats at bay, 'cause his squad is not putting up the big runs today. But Matthew feels no pressure, because nobody expects him to win. Since he has never won a game in MLB history, nobody should!
I can't understand why the line is -165, seems like it should be larger??? With certainty that most people will be on the cards today, what would make this a trap game upset? Matty tossing a pearl!
No precedent for that
I'm sittin back, bettin large, :drink: , & hoping for the best!
Good luck!
