4th game of the series...bush had plenty of time to scout cards lineup. this is also the very first time this season that he'll face a team that he has already seen this season. actually, this is the only team he had a half decent game against so far this season. wainwright dominated the brew crew twice this season, allowing 2 runs in 7 innings and 1 run in 7.2 innings. and since these two starts, he's been even better. first a complete game against houston, then 2 dominating performances against the cubs and at coors field, allowing 1 run in over 13 innings of work.i'll go with the under (8.5) here.

travel day for both atlanta and pittsburgh, and i think both teams, as well as the umps, will be pressed to end this double header as soon as possible. the pitching matchups are good enough to keep both games under the total. jurrjens and duke are much better now than earlier this season when they saw their opponents for the first time. as for hudson vs van benschoten matchup, you have one dominant vet going against a pitcher that atlanta has never seen before. expect also a lot of backups in the lineup here, especially in the second game.

when you say cleveland and toronto, you think of two aces halladay and sabathia, or two potent offenses that feature guys like wells, rios, rolen, eckstein, overbay, sizemore, gutierrez, garko, blake, haffner, martinez. well, the reality is completely different. the real aces are marcum and lee, and both offenses are in the bottom 10 in the league so far. under 7.5
very low total for a texas home game. the starters deserve the credit they are getting from the books, but let's not forget that these two offenses are just about to break thru their slump. texas scored 12 runs this past weekend against harden (3.68 era) and eveland (3.23 era) and with 15.5 MOB in these two games, they could have scored more. seattle seems to be out of their slump as well, after scoring 10 runs agains vazquez (3.63 era) and Floyd (3.32 era) over their two weekend games but like texas, with 29 base runers in these two games, over only 17 innings, they could have scored more. padilla and bedard were amazing in their starts vs texas/seattle this season but this is not a game played at seattle. Texas stadium is much harder for pitchers. over 8.5
the padres are a different animal on the road. at home, they have 13 unders and 4 overs, and on the oad they have 11 overs and 8 unders. their overall homerun total for the season is better than 10 other major league teams which is very good for a team that plays half of their games in a ballpark where hitting a home run is an extremely hard thing to do. the cubs offense is #1 in runs, #2 in OPS, hits and walks, #3 in batting average, #4 in doubles and so on. with struggling wolf on the mound (6.75 era) they could score 8 by themselves. over 7.5

Houston is not a good team on the road, and their offense really played way over their heads at LA. They are due to get back to their usual road production, even against Zito, who actually looked a little bit better in his last start. Houston has 15 unders and 6 overs on the road this season. San Francisco is scoring less than 4 runs at home this season and Oswalt is stil a very good pitcher, that actually flies under the radar this season. His 5.33 era is missleading, because he was struggling in his first two starts this season, but he was very good ever since. 3 runs or less allowed in 5 straight starts. Under 8
