MLB 8/9/02
Were going with just two for friday
1.D-backs -150(WTTS)Best Bet
D-backs were hot as a pistol untill the Braves rolled into town and I think the Marlins might be just the team to get them back on track! The marlins have packed it in for the season and the D-backs are tasting the NL west Division title. Bautista has pitched well lately while Penny has been inconsistent since being activated from DL in July. Penny has not pitched over 6 innings since being activated and you got to think the Marlins pen will factor in this one too. I was tempted to play the run line but I'm not going to get greedy! The D-backs should win comfortably.

2.Cubs/Rockies over 12.5 -110(Oylmpic)
Both Zambrano and Neagle hace struggled as of late. Zambrano has been chased very early in his last couple and who knows where Neagle's head is since he was recently demoted to the bullpen and placed on the waiver wire. Each team has put up runs in the past few games and Coors field should contribute a few runs by itself. It wouldn't be surprise if both bullpens are involved by the sixth. This might be a football score.


All feedback is appreciated!

I totally disagree with you on this total.

First of all, Neagle's really has been pitching pretty good of late. As far as the waiver thing, well that's baseball and it's just a money thing and I think Neagle understands that....he's been in baseball for a while. I think Neagle's really delighted to be back in the starting rotation after the trade of Thompson. Think you can expect a good game especially considering the Cubs don't hit lefties well.

On Zambrano.....he did have a bad outing his last game, but he was also bothered by a sore right bicep that game, so it can be excusable...that's why he left the game in the 4th inning! The game before that he did leave with 2 out in the sixth, but that was only because his pitch count was high.....He pitched a gem that game only allowing 1 earned run while striking out 8. Overall Zambrano has been very impressive as a starter in my opinion.

Just my .02 on this total...always wish the best for people and thought I'd throw out my opinion .....good luck on the D'backs....and at least one of us will win on the Cubs total
