Cards ripe in game 1? Big chalk in game one.

Peavy is just as good as Carpenter, especially the past month with Carpenter struggling...

The cards haven't played many games that have mattered in a long time...


Peavy is capable of shutting this team out period....and Carpenter may have hit the wall in Sept.

LOL, why dont you play the lotto tomorrow too?

You are spot on Journeyman. This line is at least 30 cents too high.

got the pappas +323 for the series at pinny

I've noticed you like to play a lot of futures. How did you do on your regular season MLB futures?

$500 on red sox season wins under 96 - winner
$500 on astros season wins under 85 - loser
$500 on rangers season wins under 81 - winner
$300 on marlins to win nl pennant - loser
$500 on padres to win nl west - winner (this was huge as it was 4:1)
$1,000 on twins to win al central - loser

for the playoffs, i have san diego +323 and the angels +134, both for $300.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like you did ok. Do you see anybody you like here to win it all for good odds? If not then who do you think will win both Pennants and who will win the World Series?

Its all about Jake Peavy and pitching wins baseball games...this has all the possibilty of being a 2-1 game ...in a tight game S.D. is very attractive, they have some arms in the pen if the game is tied late...

Not saying SD will win here , I just think this game is much closer to an even matchup with this particular pitching matchup.

STL doesn't have a true ace...and Carpenter has only thrown over 200 innings once in his career, he is way up there in innings pitched, did he hit the wall in Sept?

we shall see...

Also, Al Reyes is out for the playoffs. He had been STL's best middle reliever.

probably look stupid posting this here when he pitches a one-hitter tomorrow but, i think carp may be out of gas.

SD clearly has a bullpen advantage IMO.

what, you dont like the portly ray king? how many times did that guy blow the cover when bucky had st. louis -1.5 runs? the only guy that screwed me worse is some reliever on arizona named koplove. he got me good.

After being so good for so much of the year and then being so bad the last four starts, it's hard not to think that something has changed. Carpenter explained that he wasn't as motivated so it was mental, it's a little hard to believe that could make a pitcher god from being so good to so bad. Laying -175 on that unknown againsta guy who's been rock solid seems nutty to me, but what do I know. It's up to +173 at Pinny. Do I wait or pull the trigger now, can it really go higher yet?

d...it's so easy to hate the cardinals, isn't it?

Well yeah, but I like money more than I hate the Cardinals. And the Pads are such a great price in Game 1 and in the Series.

Also, this is Carpenter's first ever career playoff start. Combine that with how he's pitched lately and I think it'll play tricks with his head. His confidence has to be down. I really think the Pads will hurt him. I've got +180 ordered at Pinnacle, let's see if it gets filled some time...

i agree. i really like the pads in this series. bet the +173 now...do you drive around palatine looking for gas at $2.85/gallon too? just fill up at the nearest station you penny pincher!
