Writeup: A solid outing and we'll take those results last night. Yesterday was an excellent way to get things back on track and cash some big ones. Atlanta's woes continued, leaving runners stranded and, once again, choking dramatically in the late innings to cost us. However, our two remaining 3*'s came through in convincing fashion with the White Sox and the underdog Reds. A satisfying day, but its now time to zoom in on Thursday MLB action.
There's not much worth forcing on Thursday-a rather small, boring and very tight card. However, one game is worthy of a play in our eyes. At 2:05PM EST, the Cubs play part against Brewers again in Milwaukee. Chicago stole a nice one last night in Wisconsin and today's day game is looking to be a different story. Both of these teams are putting out a constant position battle atop the respective divisions but we look for Milwaukee to come a little more charged up than Chicago.
David Bush comes into this one for the Brewers at a measly 5-8 on the season with an ERA in the middle single digits. He did win his last start, however, and is 1-0 in his last three appearances. In those three games, David has thrown 21 very solid innings giving up just 16 hits and maintaining a WHIP of 0.76 and an ERA of just 2.13. After the starters, Milwaukee has also been more than impressive. The Brewer's bullpen has an averaged ERA of 2.68 in their last three games and one of 3.89 for the entire season. Those are some pretty solid numbers. Additionally, we all know the run support and offensive explosion inside the dugout of this team. Chicago has their weapons but Milwaukee is absolutely, positively capable of countering.
The Cubbies have elected to pitch the highly touted righty Rich Harden. Since being acquired by the Cubs, Harden is 0-1 overall. Harden is a solid addition to this squad but one man simply doesn't go out and win a ball game on a Thursday afternoon in Wisconsin very frequently. He is going to need some run support like this team got last night, and both squads are on a short rest so we'll see whose bats come out slugging.
The value on this one for the home team is too good to pass up. The Brewers currently stand at a +135 underdog and I don't care if you throw a five year old on the dirt.I'm jumping on them in this situation. As we stated above, there isn't much to write home about Thursday. Let's just play this one for 10 units and build on to a good thing we've got going ending the month of July.
