I have been looking real hard at the DBacks. Webb caps out a lot better than fill in starter Zerbe, also I expect Barry to sit in a day game following a night game. The problem is the Giants are playing such great baseball, after tonight they will be 34 and 15 at home. To me betting against a strong team playing at home is just asking for trouble. I really wanted to find some strong reasons to bet on the Dbacks, but all that shows is Webb being better than Zerbe. I have to pass.

I'm looking at Kerry Wood -157, he has been pitching great, and tommorows game is big for the Cubs,with their Ace on the hill, new additions (Lofton, Ramirez) both took collar tonight, as did Sosa. Pressure is on Cubs to produce. Padilla has been throwing well and the Phils no pushovers but I will not be suprized to see Wood blind them. Weather does'nt look to be a factor, I checked. Anyway Cubs less -160 looks like a play, Baker will have his A team on the field, he has his team at 500 and needs to keep pace with a red hot Astro team.

Joey- Every time I look at the standings in the braggers contest you're on top. I'm glad we're on the same side Thurs. I keep laying off Col away because of that road record and every time I do they win so I've given in.
Glife- Good point about that bullpen. I totally overlooked it. That's why I love this board. You can't see everything yourself.
Tekari- Looks like lots of guys are moving to the bases forum. I'm not giving up my RR membership but I would like to see a couple more guys here. Good Poster has the midas touch as everything he plays is gold. J2 always cracks me up.

Liking the Baltimore pick alot. I got on that one for sure. I'd like to hear more about why you like Chacon and the Rocks. Chacon game back from injury to get rocked last time out. Even though Brown hasn't won in his last 4 starts, he has pitched pretty damn well. In his last 3 starts the guy has given up just 5 runs, holding a 1.22 WHIP and 2.50 ERA over that time. Is this more of a fade on LA's offense? An explanation would help me out here. Thanks buddy
Jake- To tell the truth I may be on the wrong side of the Col game but I'm expecting Chacon to be much sharper this game. He did get rocked last game but did have 6 K's in 4 innings. LA only avgs 3.6 runs per game and is last in the league. A lot of this can be blamed on playing in LA but even with Burnitz they have lost 4 of the last 5 and 2 of 3 to Col. In what should be a low scoring game it's too big a price for me to pass up. GL
