Cards -132....alright I usually hate teams avoiding a sweep but I saw a few things I like here. Cards are 10-5 this year vs lefties, and they are playing some very good baseball this year. I give the Royals some credit for holding them to 3 runs last night -- BUT -- they used 5 arms to do it and still took the loss. We know Marquis is at his best on the road (2.81 era) but what sold me here was Gobble's history during day games (0-3 9.00 era). Cards bats were kept under wraps a bit last night, but it won't happen again if Gobble holds true to form.


Looking hard at the Rockies right now -- think Elarton gets T'd up by his old teammates today.

Rockies +103....Wanted a better line but looks like it is dropping, and you just aren't going to get a great price on a dog facing Elarton. Jennings has really turned it around, winning 5 of his last 6 starts, after his terrible start to the season. Rockies lineup is danagerous, especially with Walker back in the lineup, and in my opinion Elarton shouldn't be in the major leagues. He's got major control problems, and I just think it is all in his head at this point. Rockies cut this guy for a reason -- and I think they should knock him around tonight.

If they get to Elarton early an added bonus here is that CC's injury yesterday put some stress on the Tribe pen, which is shaky to begin with.

really like the cards today. this is the 3rd lefty in a row they are facing, i am looking for them to explode today, its not often you keep the cardinal bats this quiet.

lets just hope the rain goes away.

also the rockies are starting to find themselves, they are starting to get healthy, walker and wilson are back and they should start winning some games. if chacon shows some consistency they should be fine.

good luck with your plays.

Even Steven for the day -- have to give some respect to Elarton he pitched very well against his old mates.
