This line had a drastic movement; looking for some thoughts.

Thanks.

I like the over. Blanton has looked like shit and the Phillies rocked Looper earlier this year.

I'm not picking a side. It could go either way, but I'm hoping Blanton shows us Philly fans something tonight.

I appreciate that response, especially from a Phillies fan.

You would think that a down and out pitcher like Blanton going up against one of the more currently overvalued teams in the league should provide some value, but in my opinion, you are going to have to look elsewhere on today’s card for a potentially mis-priced game. The market appears to be pricing in a turnaround for Blanton, and I don’t disagree. The market is biting on the prolonged Cardinals run, finally bidding up their price in games on a daily basis. This daily premium offsets the continually ignored value that Looper provides at home over the years. I don’t like how Looper matches up against the Phillies bats, but I simply would demand a better price to back an underachieving pitcher that has not shown signs of turning things around.
Good luck.

Thanks Buff

I think the ump comes into play--Marty Foster has a generous zone, and that's going to help Blanton burn some innings. Folks expecting the Cards to dump on Blanton are going to be disappointed. The Phils get my money tonight. They're a value here (obviously not a dog).

Dobbs bomb. All this guy does is hit.

Have a seat Pujols what a pitch. This is the guy I thought they would be getting when they made the deal.
