I really feel that the Cards are the strongest play of the day. Going against a young pitcher and having won a game last right where they had to rally in the 7th to get by, I believe they take this game and series today convincingly.
Got STL last night at betjam at -130, still can get it right now at -135 there, not sure about other places because I only check a few outs.
But bang em..
:howdy:

Little writeup from sportsline...
Adam Wainwright (2-2, 5.60 ERA) gets the start for St. Louis, which is 4-2 in the right-hander's six starts.
Wainwright bounced back from consecutive tough outings with a solid performance against Houston on Friday. He held the Astros to two runs and seven hits in six innings and got his first win since his first start of the year - also against Houston.
Wainwright is 1-0 lifetime against the Rockies, pitching 4 1-3 shutout innings in four relief appearances.
While the Rockies (14-19) failed to win consecutive games for just the fourth time this season, manager Clint Hurdle took time before Tuesday's game to call the league as an advocate of using instant replay in some form.
"It's a very difficult call and my point of contention is it either is or is not a home run," said Hurdle, who feels his team had two homers unjustly taken away in the past week. "I don't think that's an area where the umpires' discretion should be involved."
There was no doubt about Matt Holliday's homer in the third inning on Tuesday, his sixth of the year. Holliday, who leads the majors with 52 hits, went 3-for-4 and is 14-for-29 (.483) with five homers lifetime at Busch Stadium.
Jason Hirsh (2-2, 3.82) will take the mound for the Rockies. On Friday, the 25-year-old right-hander gave up four runs and five hits while walking five in six innings against Cincinnati before Colorado went on to win 6-5 in 11 innings.
Hirsh was reached for four runs in 4 2-3 innings in his one career start against St. Louis.
