1. Minnesota/KC OVER 10.5 (Even)
I want to jump on this over before the public realizes just how bad these pitchers are against the opposing team. Odalis has pitched in three games this year losing all three by scores of 6-4, 1-9, and 1-7 with over a 9 ERA. Ponson enters this game with an ERA over 8, the scores in his starts have been 12-5, and 2-8, and id like to point out the 2-8 game vs the yankees he gave up a bundle right away and the bullpen acutally held that score down. The total has gone over in 4 of Minnesotas last 5 games. Ponsons last two starts vs KC totaled 4 innings of work giving up 12 ER, and Perez has gone 11 innings giving up 7 runs. The current minnesota lineup has gone 24/65 vs ponson and batters have hit .360 off him this season. Minnesota has gone 31/75 off Odalis and the heart of the order, Mauer, Morneau, and Cuddyer absolutly salavate when they see him. The league is hitting .404 off him at this point. Ill jump on this at even money before the heavy money comes in on the over.
2. Chicago Cubs -131
The Cubs finally come out of a series with a little confidence beating atlanta 3-0 last night, with a tremendous start from Rich Hill, giving the bullpen a well needed rest. While the cubs come in feeling good, St Louis dropped two games to SF that they probably should have won and they appeared horrendously flat vs the Pirates. St Louis comes into Chicago having lost 9 of their last 11 at wrigley. Looper and Lilly have both been tremendous thus far, but in Lilly's last start vs Cincy he appeared absolutly unhittable losing 1-0 on a bleeder. The league is only hitting .164 vs him and with the holes that St louis is displaying it seems he could work around the tough guys. The St Louis bullpen has been used up of late, if they can get Looper out of there the cubs may finally break through with some real runs.
