today im backing home teams, interleague is in day 2 and i like what some of these hometown faves are chalking ....
St.Louis- 160 - 6 units
ok while ill think luke hocheaver is a future stud, i dont think that time is now,...kyle lohse, has been his usual hateful self, what i mean is you cant stand this guy because you fade him and he comes up like roses, but you ride him and he gets derailed like a money train... k.c. finds themselves at .500 and in 2nd place , they are in a all to familiar slide losing 3 in a row losing 10 of the last 13 and about to go below .500 for first time since april 11.. Hocheaver has done nothing in 2 starts, to make u buy into him even though earlier this year he was 5-0 with a 0.90 era at triple A.... his 2 starts lines look like this in 5 1/3 innings he's given up 10 runs, 11 hits, and 5 walks, not seeing the end of the 4th inning in either start., his career road record is 0-5 10.50 era .. kyle lohse was dominant in april, but dominated in may.. his april line looked like this 5 starts 3-0 32 innings, 25 hits, 19/8 k/bb, era 1.90!!!..... here's what may looks like 3 starts 0-3 14 innings ,20 hit 13/8 k/bb , era 10.67!! so as u can see both pitchers have been awful, but atleast you find a track record with lohse, and that track record was eerily similar last year.. he began his 6 starts in april by going 3-0 34 innings, 32 hit, 14/8 2.36 era (so as u can see he was similar but a lil better this april) then in may he imploded, in his first 4 starts (before may 18) looked like this 0-2 23 innings, 30 hits , 13/8 k/bb, 11.0 ERA.. BUT here's the catch .. he caught fire on may 24 last year(today is the 23rd) and turned the rest of may and all of june into his personal playground
here's last years may 24th line 6 innings, 6 hits, 5/0 , 0 era with the win.. he would not lose again in his next 17 starts, making the all star team.. again i dont always make bets based on the past, but i like what i see in his career periphials (the year before he was 1-5 in may but u guessed it turned it around in last 2 starts)... lastly this is a national league park , thats one less hitter for a anemic offense like the royals..
and no i dont care that ludwick, or ankiel cant play.. i believe in la russa and his constant rotating door of role players. st louis is 16-8 at home and 1 game out of first, tboth team have let up 179 runs this year, while st louis has scored 12 more runs then thee counterpart
good luck
