Tuesday's Play--Nothing Really Jumps Out At Me, Except.....

this one. First the re-cap. Passed yesterday. After winning 3 in a row, I lost my total play on Sunday by half a run. Real busy at work the next couple of weeks, so I might not be able to post as often as I'd like. For today, I like the Cardinals at +105 from the Tigers. Here's why:

Simply put--this line stinks. Verlander has been awesome lately. He is 7-2 on the year with a 1.10 WHIP, a 3.02 ERA and a .222 batting average against. For June, his ERA is 0.53. So why would I go against him ? Well, the real question is why aren't the Tigers bigger than a -125 fave ??? Well.....Verlander is NOT the same pitcher on the road, where his ERA jumps to 4.39, and his batting average against is .259. For his career against the Cards he is 2-2 with a 4.68 ERA.

Meanwhile, the Cards start Adam Wainwright. He is 6-4 on the year with a 3.49 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP. His ERA over his last 3 starts is 4.50, and for June it is 4.15. So, what do I see ? Well, at home this year his ERA is only 2.74 and his batting average against is only .206. Over his last 3 starts at home, he has gone 22.2 innings, allowing only 10 hits and 6 walks with 22 strikeouts.

I just have a gut feeling that the Cards get this one.

Tuesday's play is the Cardinals at +105.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

#1, Verlander's a righty - obv good for STL.

PUjols 3-5, 1 2B
Molina 3-6, 3 2B
Duncan 1-3, 1 HR


Det's offense is so stagnant. So, I think you're on the right side...

PS. We still riding the Rockies today? I hate it when hot teams have a day off.

and that shady line gets even shadier, as the Tigers are now down to only -114.
