2 for Tuesday:
2X-- ST. LOUIS CARDINALS -140
St. Louis has been a very solid home team this season. They enter 25-14 YTD. They are also a very impressive 5-1 with a day off this season. Moreover, St. Louis is 14-9 against Cincinnati at St. Louis over the last 3 seasons. Expect the .300 hitting line-up to out slug the Reds in this one. Jimmy Haynes is 4-3 when starting against ST LOUIS with an ERA of 3.65 and a WHIP of 1.492. Anticipate Tomko to pitch well at home. The Cardinals should take this one at a fair price.
2X-- PITTSBURGH PIRATES +130
I would be very interested in knowing the origin of this game?s money line. I realize both teams have not been playing good baseball and I would venture that Montreal?s problems have been a tad bit worse of late. Add to the mix, Pittsburgh is sending Jeff D?Amico to the hill and I am really confused. Despite his mediocre 5-7 YTD mark, D?Amico has been a very solid starter all year for the Pirates. He is coming off of a fantastic outing which he went 6 strong innings and garnered a victory. Overall, D?Amico brings in a respectable 4.50 ERA YTD in 13 starts and 78 innings pitched. Moreover, D?Amico has had a stellar career vs. Montreal. To date, the right-hander is 3-0 lifetime with a 2.70 ERA in four starts. I expect to see typical numbers for D?Amico this afternoon. With the added value of a dog position and the solid lifetime numbers, I will back Pittsburgh in the day game today.
Good Luck.
