5/30
Take the Cardinals -102. Another line that makes you think what’s going on. Eickhoff played the Cardinals on May 8th and went 8 innings, only giving up 3 hits, 0 runs and 3 walks. Hudson played the Phillies on May 7, giving up 7 hits, 8 runs and 3 walks losing 11-3. Phillies just beat the Cardinals twice and going for the sweep, Harper is hot and the bats are clicking scoring 11 runs last game. Why is today’s line only -108 Phillies at home? Something seems off. Cardinals have lost 3 straight and Phillies have won 5 of their last 6. This line is implying that Hudson has another stellar type of game like he did vs the Braves and that Eickhoff should struggle today like he did in his last 3 games, where he was only able to go 3, 5, and 4 innings. Since he’s played the Cardinals, his ERA has steadily been on the rise, going from a 1.5 ERA to 3.86 ERA. Cardinals are desperate for a win, and if they can get Eickhoffs pitch count high to start the game and he’s pulled early, they will have a chance. The phillies just sent another reliever to their injured list and is now has an even thinner bullpen. When the Cardinals don’t look great and their perception is going backwards but the line is -102 on our book, it’s implying they have a good shot at beating the Phillies. Contrarian play to start today, let’s go! Good luck ��
