There are quite a few plays I see on todays card but I try to play quantity with quality. Record YTD since posting: 10 wins and 13 losses. Let's get into todays baseball card.
Game #1:
STL @ PHI: PHI ML The trendy pick is probably Saint Louis but I'm not going in that direction. I'm looking for J.A. Happ to pitch another solid game. This Lefty has some great stuff kind of like Moyer 10x. He keeps the hitters guessing and thats a great thing since STL gives Joel a weak 3.9 runs per game. Look for STL to be tired besides Pujols who was rested yesterday. PHI is 32-28 vs Righty and PHI has finally started to figure out how to win at home. Something they could not get done in the beginning of the season. STL hit leftys poorly sporting a 14-15 record vs southpaws. Final stat for this game is PHI with a 13-5 record vs the NL Central.
Game #2:
ATL @ MIL ATL ML I've been a fan of Vasquez for quite some time. Even in his early years with the dreaded Montreal Expos. Anyways he is back and better than ever. He has finally put his skill, knowledge and experience together. 13 of Vasquez' 19 starts were Quality starts. 141 strikeouts to 24 walks is an absolutely rediculous ratio. Look for Parra of MIL to have an average outing but I feel if the Braves can score 4 runs in MIL than it should be a lock.
