Fridays Early Play
We hit banger #5 on Thursday with a nice 8-0 winner on the Braves. Bringing my Banger Alert record to 5-2 on the year! For the night I'm 4-2 and +14.75 units with 2 plays pending as I'm writing this thread. Rockies -1.10 for 5 units and the Indians +1.18 for 5 units. Will update my record later on today!
Fridays Early Play
3:25 Brewers Santos +1.60 at Cubbies Clement -1.80 with no total posted yet!
*The Brewers come into todays game, having won 17 of their last 28 games at Chicago.
*Milwaukee has played 13 road series so far this year and have won either game 1 or game 2 in 11 of those series.
*The Brewers have won game 1 or game 2 in 7 of their last 8 series at the Cubbies!
*Santos is 6-0 on the road this year with a 3.29 ERA
*Here are Santos stats by a month to month breakdown
In April; He was 0-0 with a 9.00 ERA pitching out of the bullpen
In May; He was 2-2 with a 3.94 ERA
In June; He was 4-1 with a 2.96 ERA
In July; He is currently 2-0 with a 4.91 ERA
As you can see he seems to be improving with each month. He has not thrown over 100 pitches in his 7 game starts this season/so I would think, he's on a 100 pitch count. He did go 6.1 innings at Minnesota for his longest outing on the year. His first 4 starts on the year, he threw 5 innings in each start. He has pretty much thrown 6 innings in each of his last 3 starts. Seems like there trying to slowly build his endurance up a little! In his 7 starts, he's gotten decent run support, as the Brewers have scored a total of 49 runs for an average of 7 rpg. I would consider this excellent run support compared to other starters run support for the year.
*Clements stats for the year!
In April he was 3-1 with a 2.22 ERA
In May he was 3-2 with a 3.54 ERA
In June he was 1-3 with a 2.78 ERA
In July he is currently 0-2 with a 2.77 ERA
*Clements in his last 4 home starts vs the Brewers has lost 3-5, won 10-1 vs some guy by the name of Pember, lost 4-6vs, and in 2001 with the Marlins lost 2-8 vs a very bad Brewer's team. In his three losses the Brewers have scored a total of 19 runs.
Now lets look at Clements last 5 starts
18 Jun Lost 1-2 vs A's
24 Jun Lost 0-4 at Cards
30 Jun Lost 2-3 vs Astros
5 Jul Lost 0-1 at Brewers
10 Jul Lost 2-5 at Cards
He's actually thrown 5 pretty decent games here, pitching a total of 31.2 innings, allowing 27 hits, 11 runs, 8 earned runs, 3 HR's, allowed 16 BB's (not good), and struck out 33 batters. Now lets look at the negatives here in these 5 starts. First he's gotten no run support, as the Cubs have only scored a total of 5 runs in those 5 starts. Second, He has gotten into some high pitch counts throwing, 121 pitches, 80 pitches, 104 pitches, 123 pitches, and 114 pitches. I would have to think, the Cubs either are working him a little to hard, or else they don't have any faith in their bullpen. The man just hasn't had any luck throwing quality games like he has and he's 0-4 in those starts.
Now what I have to question here is, how the hell can the linemakers make him a -1.80 favorite! The Cubs aren't exactly setting the world on fire, they have won 2 games in a row, but before Woods threw his gem against the Cards before the All Star break, the Cubs were actually struggling. Looking at all this information, I'm gonna take my chances here and play the Brewers Santos with a 6-0 road record at +1.60 for 5 units! Lets hope the Cubs leave their sticks in the rack like they did his last 5 starts. Play it or fade it, the decision is yours, but I'm gonna take a chance here at these odds and take the Brew Crew!
