89-72, +42.56
4-1, +6.50
Another "technical sweep" of the card yesterday as the RL play attached to my D-Backs ML was again a loser. 6 out of 7 winning days, rolling right now. On to today:
1* Colorado Rockies +125
The Cardinals have major problems right now. Their rotation is out of wack with injuries, their lineup is out of wack with injuries, Pujols can't seem to get it going, LaRussa was shitcanned at a red light in spring training, they can't seem to string together any sort of consistency. They finally had a nice game offensively and won yesterday, but as Dennis Green would say..."You wanna crown their ass, then crown them. We know who they are."
No letting them off the hook today, Denny. Cards are 1-7 after winning a baseball game, showing their lack of consistency and maintain that winning level of baseball. Meanwhile, the Rockies are 7-0 after losing a baseball game, showing their ability to focus up and bounceback.
They'll rely on Hirsh to bounceback today, who in his young career has been an outstanding day game pitcher, while Wainwright has been horrendous in day games. Right handed batters are batting a Tony Gwynn-like .350 off Wainwright, and he'll face a good one today in Matt Holliday, and an outstanding left-handed bat in Todd Helton, who just so happens to be on fire right now.
I think between those two guys, that will be all of the offense that the Rockies need. Pujols is cold, Eckstein is cold, and Edmonds is cold. Those three bats make this lineup go. For good measure, Preston Wilson is on the DL, and Juan Encarnacion is on the DL. So if they don't have Eckstein setting the table and they arent generating RBI's from Pujols and Edmonds, it is no secret why this team hasnt been able to score runs.
Basically, a hot hitting team vs. a cold hitting team with major issues and injuries. A good day time pitcher vs. a poor daytime pitcher....at a + price.
More later.
