Peavy is one of the best K artists in the league and is a pickem against a borderline MLB pitcher? I'll take my shot for the max

Peavy K'd 10 Cards last time out and has 43 K in 37 innings vs Red Birds.

Reyes hasn't K'd more than 5 in his last 9 starts

Understand that bullpen K's are included in this, but Bell and Hoffman are usually good for 1 or 2 assuming Peavy has a quality start. Bullpen is rested after mop-ups pitched last night. Peavy should go 6 or 7.

And added advantage of Peavy being a decent hitter. He shouldn't K when he is up there.

Well one slight reason for the line would be because if St Louis wins the game before the 9th inning, then that will be 3 less outs that San Diego will have to get more strikeouts.

I do like Stan Diego to win though. If Stan Diego were at home tonight, then the line would be Stan Diego -1.5 strikeout or so.

If St Louis wins the game, then NOT ONLY does San diego not get those 3 outs in the ninth, bUTTTTTTTT Isringhausen gets into the game in the ninth and he is usually good for 1 or 2 k's. hell sometimes he gets 3 k's

nice find, i've been checking these out when Bedard's on the hill and will jump on this here. would also be nice if a save situation -- which it very well could be -- as Hoffman should be good for another k or two as well

Good point, but the Pads are a pretty decent fav, so I wouldn't not bet it based on that.

no eckstein for the Cards. He never strikes out, so this helps a bit

oddsmakers dont make mistakes that often, they must have a reason for that line being what it is.

peavy is averaging 7.5 strikeouts a game while reyes is averaging 3.8
maybe the oddsmakers know peavy will be out of the game early

No such thing as a lock, but the fact the linesmaker moved this to SD-1 shows our initial bet was solid. Still solid at -1.

Great find, whormoan. You are right that it's no lock, but without question, an excellent value found regardless of end result (i.e. Peavy gets hurt)!

I would say that it is a bad line in favor of the players, but as Wil has pointed out earlier, CRIS has a great menu and you can find a diamond in the rough once in awhile....

I like this bet also. But, one thing they are certainly factoring in is how many more strikeouts the Padres have had this year. Padres 871 K's vs St Louis 591. 3,4,5 Gonzalez, Cameron and K Greene are hackers.

Peavy had to throw 14 pitches to get Rolen to end the 1st. Great battle.
