Well TOR tarnished what should have been a bigger night, still batting .900 this week, let's see if we can't keep the avg. up there
COL/MON OVER 9 -110
Sometimes hesitant going over after two teams combine for 20 runs the previous night, but the shoe fits here. Neither Elarton 9.1IP 9.64 17.4MBA lst 3, 5IP 10.80 ERA vs. MON or Yoshii 0-2 14.2IP 6.14 ERA 18.4MBA lst 3, 2.1IP 11.57 vs. COL, have been very impressive. These two pitchers combined are 18-8 to the over. Plus you get the added bonus of having both 'pens well used yesterday, would be surprised not to have this covered by the 6th inn.
STL (Smith/Ritchie) -175
See no reason to get off the train now. Smith has been very solid 19.1IP 2.33 ERA 7.9MBA lst 3, 1-0 6IP 3.00 ERA vs. PIT. Ritchie has been very inconsistent and average 17.1IP 4.15 ERA 10.9MBA lst 3 and bad 0-2 12.2IP 7.11 ERA vs. STL. PIT 1-4 vs. LHP lst 5 chances. Should see less 'pen exposure from the Cards and that could only be a good thing.
MIL (Quevedo/Acevedo) -135
Like the advantage of unseen pitchers vs. a known quantity. Quevedo has been sharp over his lst 3, 20.2IP 2.18 ERA 10.9MBA and Acevedo has been average lst 3 15.1IP 4.70 ERA 10MBA and sorry vs. MIL 0-1 4IP 13.50 ERA. MIL has dominated the season series vs. CIN, think they get back on track here.
CHA (Garland/Macdougal) -175
Let's see, I've got to choose between a rookie pitcher on the road with average AAA stats 8-9 3.49 ERA 160H 162.1IP and a home pitcher who has dominated the opposition, Garland 2-0 19IP 1.89 ERA vs. KC. Gee, that was tough
Also like the 'pen matchup as long as I don't see Embree within 10 blocks of the stadium.
Good hunting
