Good luck with the Pittsburgh bet. Herrera for Pittsburgh has been completely awful his first two starts. I bet on Pittsburgh with him the other night at Colorado and he gave up 6 in the first. He couldn't make it out of the second. First start he got drilled. Hensley is no jewel but Herrera is brutal.
Pirates - Herrera isnt as bad as people believe, the guy is just starting out, he did terrible against the Rockies, but the Rockies are/were obviously feeling at the times, the team has scored 50+ runs in there last 5 games. The Pirates bats have picked up, and I always enjoy betting the streak. The Padres are terrible on the road, they dont have the offensive power to really string this guy out, he gives up 3 or 4 runs at most. While the Pirates, who are one of the best offensive teams in the league, will put up their fair share.
Orioles - I like them because of a few things, for one they have been playing great at home, 28-19. then two, the B-jays are bad on the road, just 22-31. Halladay is obviously solid but hte offensive on the road is not, they are just 5-15 in their last 20 on the road. There is Cabrera at home, hes 3-0, the bats really step up when hes pitching at home.

As bad as the offense is on the road Halladay is as filthy as any pitcher gets on the road...6-2 L8 Road starts including wins at LAA, NYY and PHI... In those games he has given up 5,2,0,0,1,2,0,1 (not in that order)---Thats some pretty solid pitching if ya ask me...gl tho tonight
