Saturday's Play--It's A HUGE One For Me !!

[Keith]

lost last night with the over in the Giants/Rockies. I liked it, but I wasn't completely sold on it, and did not want to pass 2 days in a row. Nevertheless, I shouldn't have forced it. Since the switch to the Field of Dreams theme, I am now 2-1.

For Sunday, I REALLY like the over 10 in the Cards/Nats. HUGE. Here's why:

The Nats start righty Shairon Martis. Think he took abuse as a kid with a name like Shairon ??? He is 2-0 on the year, but with a 6.20 ERA, a 1.72 WHIP and a batting average against of .312. In 20.1 innings, he has allowed 24 hits and 11 walks with only 7 strikeouts. The Cards bat an NL-best .306 against righties. They are going to smoke him today.

Meanwhile the Cards start Joel Piniero. He is 4-0 with a 3.76 ERA. But wait. Let's dig deeper. His WHIP is 1.37 and his batting average against is .306 (pretty high for a guy with that record and ERA). In 26.1 innings he has allowed 30 hits and 6 walks with only 6 strikeouts. On the road this year he is 2-0 but with a 5.40 ERA and a .348 batting average against. For his career against the Nats he is 1-2 with a 3.08 ERA, but in the last 3 years (frankly who cares what he did against them before that) he is 0-1 against them with a 7.20 ERA and a .350 batting average against. Over the past 3 years he is 4-11 in day games (today's game is a day game), with a 6.19 ERA and a .306 batting average against.

The Cards are 8-2 to the over this year in day games while the Nats are 6-1 to the over in day games. There is a reason the total was set at 10 in this game. Vegas KNOWS it is going over. And now you know it too.

Saturday's HUGE play is over 10 in the Cardinals/Nationals.

im on it too....I've watched Piniero pitch a couple times and he has gotten some huge breaks, either timely double plays, runners caught stealing, bad base running, etc........this game has the makings of a 10-7 or 11-8 score.

GL!

you must be getting lucky to be 4-0 with a 3.76 ERA, while having as many walks as strikeouts and a batting average against of over .300 !!

I am embarassed to post it Les. if you have bet $100 on every game I have posted thus far, you are 4-8, and -$530. Pathetic I know. But I don't hide from it either. I always do lousy in April. But now we are in May
