If this a sucker play then I am a sucker. Played the Cubs last night -131 for 5 units. Which is my biggest play. Zambrano always pitches well against STL. In recent years he has ussally faced Carpenter head to head. Kip Wells sucks, period. Florida helped him out alot in his last outing by swinging at alot of bad pitches. I have seen most of Wells starts this year either in person or on the tube. Anytime he has done anything that looked positive whether it was a start or out of the pen, he ussally implodes in his next outing. Zambrano has been really good since the dugout altercation and always gets up for the cards. Wells is lucky he is still pitching in the big leagues. I surely would not have stuck with him this long. Its hard to pitch when you have zero confidence. And Kip Wells falls in that category. At this price the Cubs are a really good play. So I am playing this with my head and not my heart. I am a Cards fan and hate the Cubbies. But this play screams at me to play it. Cubbies have had the Cards number back thru last season. I will be at the game and will be secretly rooting for this play to come in. Trust me when I say it is hard for me to root for the Cubs. But I am on them big tonight. Maybe I am a sucker. But I don't think so.

More fuel for the fire. Saw this elsewhere.
Zambrano didn't allow a run in his second straight start, giving up two hits before being pulled after five innings because of heat exhaustion in the Cubs' 12-1 win over San Francisco on Wednesday. He hasn't allowed a run in 15.2 innings dating to a 6-2 loss at Pittsburgh on July 8. He's 7-2 in his last nine outings, allowing two ERs or less eight times, while posting a 1.86 ERA in that stretch! Zambrano is 6-4 with a 2.43 ERA in 17 games (16 starts) against St Louis, including a 5-0 mark with a 1.38 ERA in his last eight starts against the Cardinals dating to 2005. Kip Wells (4-12, 5.75) will take the mound for St Louis in the opening game of a seven-game homestand against the NL Central's top two teams (Milwaukee is next). Wells, looking to avoid becoming the majors' first 13-game loser, will try to post consecutive wins for the first time in 2007. He allowed two hits in eight innings of a 6-0 victory at Florida on Wednesday. However, don't be fooled by one good outing. The Cards are 3-14 in his 17 starts this year and at minus-$1,209 on the season, only San Francisco's Matt Cain (3-17 and minus-$1,666) has lost more money among MLB's starters in '07!
I think Zambrano may be the best starter going in national league, right now.
