1500* - Pittsburgh Panthers, 500* - Milwaukee w/Sabathia over Myers
First time this season the Panthers are installed as the underdog, and it is clearly the role they prefer, as Dave Wannstedt's team is 0-3-1 this season against the spread - ALL as a favorite!Last year the Panthers went 4-1 against the spread as a road dog, and 5-2 overall when catching points. Clearly Pitt plays better when their is the underdog chip placed on their shoulder, and tonight happens to be another night in the dog role.
Not just a dog, but a double digit dog, and that is just the way I like it this evening.
Sure, South Florida is a perfect 5-0 straight up, but they are just 1-3 against the spread in their 4 lined games, ALL as a favorite.I will admit the Bulls have the quarterbacking edge over the Panthers, but Pittsburgh does own a veteran defense that has held 9 of their last 10 opponents to 27 points or less, and the last 2 in this series have been decided by 11, and 10 points - South Florida claiming both.So, in double-revenge, in the national spotlight, I will look for Pittsburgh to come up with a strong showing, and stay inside of the double digit impost.
1500♦ - Pittsburgh Panthers
Milwaukee made some noise late yesterday, leaving the tying runs on base in the 9th against Brad Lidge. The good news is Lidge probably won't pitch today since he threw a ton of 9th inning pitches yesterday.CC Sabathia has been the Milwaukee "blood horse" this season, and even on 3 days rest figures to be quite tough on the Phillies left-handed batters, so I will lay the road wood with the Brewers to square the series.
Brett Myers hasn't looked as untouchable as he was earlier in the season when he was recalled from the minors, as his last 2 starts have seen 14 runs score in just 8 innings of work for a pair of losses. Seems likely the Philadelphia pen is going to get busy early in this one.Milwaukee gets my nod in this 6:05 pm start tonight.
