Any thoughts on the Cards today?

Trying to decide if I'm going to chase them one final time or not. I was leaning no until the change in pitching for the Cardinals.

Will be making his second consecutive start against a team that is familiar with him as a starter. Thompson has made seven career appearances and three starts against Colorado, going 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA in 24 innings. <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">yld_mgr.place_ad_here("inlineframe1");</script><!-- SpaceID=2022775990 loc=LREC noad --> <script>// no ads </script><!--flv has invalid value--><!--XCH-->


JASON MARQUIS

RH — 7-4, 4.10

Former Cardinal had a three-game winning streak snapped in his previous outing. Allowed seven earned runs in his previous 29 2/3 innings (2.12 ERA). Marquis is 10-10 with a 6.69 ERA in 21 starts at the current Busch Stadium.

this game and the padres/diamondbacks are both on my no bet games today. will continue to look at the other games.

I am on the cards RL just for the plain fact that I think they have to score some runs sooner or later. No capping involved in my cards pick today

if i were to handicap this game, id play the cards (-1.20) for 1 unit...

thompson 10-2 in his last 12 home starts

cards 11-4 in welkes last 15 behind the plate

small bet on cards..

just opinion

Absolutely love Colorado Rockies ML +110 in a four game sweep.

There is not other way to go in this one and some of the Rockies have good numbers against Thompson. Marquis gets the job done against some familiar faces. Rockies to the bank.
