TAKE:
MLB: (137-93-2) ytd
St. Louis @ Cincinnati: St. Louis is not only the better team here but the hotter team. St. Louis has won 7 in a row and Cincinnati has lost 2 in a row. St. Louis starter Woody Williams (4-0, 1.09 era) is looking to become the NL's first 5 game winner. Red's starter Reidling has a whopping 5.09era and a knack of walking everyone in sight. The Great American Ballpark is a huge launching pad and the Cardinals have had no problems putting up runs during their streak. Figure in all the walks and a suspect Red bullpen and playing over the (9.5) runs is a must.
TAKE: ST. LOUIS CARDINALS (-170) (6*)
TAKE: St. Louis/Cincinnati OVER the (9.5) runs (8*)
Pittsburgh @ Houston: Pittsburgh got the better pitcher here, Wade Miller of Houston is (0-3 6.07 era) with no wins in 6 starts this year; in his last 2 starts he is (0-2 with a 11.25 era). Walks will come in to play in this game also as Miller has given out 17 passes so far this year. Kris Benson for the Pirates is only 3-3 on the season but boasts an ERA of only 2.90. Pittsburgh is a big dog here and has a great road record (10-5). With Miller struggling and a big pay-out on the dog. You should-
TAKE: PITTSBURGH PIRATES (+175) (4*)
TAKE: Pittsburgh/Houston OVER the (8.5) runs (5*)
Boston @ Kansas City: The surprising Royals are (10-0) at home this year. Boston is 9-7 on the road. Boston has the better pitcher here, Derek Lowe is (3-2, 5.29era) but he is (1-3 with a 4.43era) lifetime against the Royals. The Redsox bullpen was absolutely terrible losing 2 out of the 3 games against the Twins. I like the hot team at home here as a substantial dog, don't go crazy as KC will be without their best player, Carlos Beltran, but is too good of a dog to pass.
TAKE: KANSAS CITY ROYALS (+160) (3*)
