1-1 Last night
3-1 for the week
Wednesday
--------------------------
1)Cubs/Milwaukee over 6.5,-115
There are lots of runs to be had in this one. Sheets has been struggling the last while going 0-4 in his last 6 starts. The batting average against him was .196 on July 17th.......it is .215 now. His ERA on July 17th was 2.28.............it is 2.74 now. He has given up 4 ER or more in 4/5.
I'll stop short of saying Clement is struggling, but the Cubs have lost his last 3 starts and 9/11. His ERA was 2.83 on July 5th.......it is up to 3.18 now. Also, fletcher has mentioned about Dusty Baker burning his pitchers out come August, so that has to be a factor here as well. Thanks fletch.
This is also the 4th time this year these two pitchers will face the opposing team, (All of the first 3 have been in the last 6 weeks) and like I said last night, the advantage swings to the offence the more often they see a pitcher.
2)Toronto(+180)
Yep, it's time to back this bad Blue Jay squad.
Wakefield has been so-so at best this year. Boston is only 10-11 in his starts and just 5-9 in his last 14 starts , in which his ERA has ballooned from 3.21 to 4.67. He has given up 5 ER or more in 4/5.
Batista for Toronto has pitched much better after a slow start. The Jays were 1-4 in his first 5 starts, but are a nice 12-8 in his last 20 outings. . His ERA has dropped rom 5.26 to 4.35 over the last month and he has allowed 3 ER or less in 10/15. His numbers are also better on the road than they are at home.
I know the Toronto bullpen is awful, but Batista has actaully pitched very well late into games........giving up 23 hits over 22.2 innings when you look at pitches 91-120 in his games....not bad.
As a big dog with a pitching advantage, I like Toronto tonight.
Still looking at a couple of others. The first game of the SF/Mtl DH looks like an over, but I want to wait to see the lineups. Also had a look at, but discarded, the Yankees, Baltimore, Cinci and Tampa as underdogs.
Good luck out there today,
Tiger
