The Reds took a tough loss earlier. No problem. I have lost probably a hundred times on hail mary passes and a late inning home run is nothing new to me. I have lost that way many a time. I have won that way many a time. Water off a duck's back.
The second game in Philadelphia. A struggling Cliff Lee is on the mound against an average Alex Cobb. At first glance you would think Cobb has the advantage with several more starts this year and more quality innings. This may be true, but Lee has a history of being a top notch pitcher.
At home looking to rectify his problems, I look for Lee to keep the Devil Rays under 3 runs and I look for the Phillies to score atleast 4 or 5 against Cobb. If Lee pitches well this could be an easy victory.
Take the Phillies on a modest wager
