First play is a huge one.
St louis +147 (5 units) (series bet)
I know they ended the season slumping but here is my reasoning. Two words. Carpenter, Pujols. Each player is good for at least one win on their own. Now I only need one more win and one of those two guys can get that too. I look for Eckstien to play a big part setting the table for Pujols. Look for the Cards to take advantage of San diego's weaknesses. I expect them to run often on Piazza. Also the lack of lefthanders in San Diego's pen win come back to hurt them.
I usually dont like to back a team that is coming in slumping, but in this spot I feel their lineup is getting healthy and at this price it is a bargan I can not pass up.
Good luck
Other leans
Dodgers,Minnesota and the Yanks but no official plays on those yet
