1.  Billlingsley is coming off a sore hamstring where Torre sat him out a game as a precaution. 

2.  In his last 6 starts he has not gone more then 6 innings. 

3.  His ERA is over 9 against the Cards this year.

4.  Dodgers are only 3-7 in their last 10 games.

Or are you thinking that you're fading Boggs?

1.  Realize Boggs has only given up 1 hr in 33.1 innings pitched. 

2.  Don't expect Boggs to go deep in the game, in fact he may be gone before Billingsley. 

3.  The Cards have won 9 of their last 10. 

4.  Dodgers aren't hitting the ball well right now.  They've shown the ability to have a break out game here and there where they've scored 9 runs twice in the span of 11 games.  However in those other 9 games they've been held to 5 runs or less (scoring 5 twice). 

5.  The Cards on the other hand have scored 6 runs or more in 5 of their last 11 games, of the other 6 games they scored 5 runs twice. 

I know the Dodgers have the best record in baseball at 70-49, but the Cards are right there with them at 68-52.  Not much of a difference there.  Its apparent the Cards are playing great right now, while the Dodgers are stumbling.  Many isn't hitting like Manny could.  I think at -191 the Dodgers are over priced, and you know that taking the Dodgers on the runline is a no-no.  Out of their 70 wins, 21 of those wins came by 1 run.

Jordan - bol to you as well.

Kapono - I was trying to be funny and exaggerate a little. 

Louie - I don't know if he's not suited for that park since he always been a visitor and the Phillies were the ones smacking him around.  

Fruedian - With you on the Indians play and possibly the TB runline.  Price has been stellar at home and the Orioles love to get blown out.  Whoever, I took the A's last night and I think I'll parlay my winnings on them again tonight.

Bubba - Thanks bro, gl to you!

You got it!

Like yesterday I posted a trend on the Orioles after they play a game involving extra innings.  How Balt has played 9 games this season involing extra innings of those 7 times whichever outcome the extra inning game was the game following had the same outcome.  Even tho I was not all that comfortable backing Santana yesterday, the game was nearly a pick at -107 that I played the Angels and fortunately they came through.  Weird stuff

on the over so, we'll take a 7-4 dbacks win!

Appreciate the intel, betting against the Phillies is not a hobby of mine, but I do think its a good spot.  I may lose and if I do I'm expecting AZ to put up a good fight.  I am upset because last night I could've got AZ at +164, now its at +156. 

I saw those numbers but I'm not looking too much into that, since the Phillies were the ones he was pitching against. 

AZ +160

Pirates +107

Nationals +157

Reds +205

Braves RL -110

Astros +100

Cards +178

Mariners -121

Blue Jays +139

Devil Rays RL -130

Indians -105

Rangers -166

Royals +115

A's -215
