Brewers
Alright, after losing 3 out of 4 at home to the Tigers, the Brewers finally have a team they know they can pound and that team is the Kansas City Royals. They pounded them last night 7-2 by jumping out to a 5-1 lead by scoring 3 in the top of the 1st. Now they send Davis to the hill who comes off 7 shutout innings at home against a red hot Tigers team. All told, he has allowed just 6 runs over his last 3 starts spanning 20 innings. He shook off his road demons with a road win in Cincy going 6 innings allowing 3 earned. Duckworth is schedule to go for the Brewers but this game is more about the Milwaukee offense and Davis staying hot than anything KC is going to do. My play is on the Brewers to rough up the Royals today. KCity shows you once again who the worst team in baseball is. Milwaukee wins big
Marlins
This kid Johnson has done nothing but dominate the big leagues since he came on the scene. I am talking about 5-2 with an ERA of 1.63. In his last 3 starts, how strong is back to back 6 inning efforts allowing just 1 run and prior to that, 7 shutout innings in a loss. Go figure that one out. I have said Chacon is a bum in every since of the word. He was terrible in Colorado and that is exactly what he will turn out to be here in New York when all is said and done. His last start, 6 runs in 4 innings at Washington and he has now been hit for 16 runs his last 10 innings. Marlins get the win here behind another huge effort by Johnson. This is a dog price I just can't pass up. Marlins.
Padres
I really like what Chan Ho Park has shown me lately. He comes off 2 wins in a row beating the Angels and the Dodgers and in his last 5 starts versus the Mariners, 3-1 including 2 shutouts. He has an impressive home era of 3.10 and bottom line is he is flat out tough in this stadium. Jamie Moyer lost his last start to the Padres and I can't think of a better junk hitting team than San Diego at home. Padres are the play here at home at a great price.
