Got to take the Dodgers again tonite, no don't have a lame brother that's an ump and don't have 25K on this. I feel it's a value play, 3 unit play. Cubs have got to be stressed out, Dodgers are loose. Dodgers bats came alive while the Cubs disappeared. Will they come back vs a pitcher that averages a K per inning and has been giving up 3 runs or less for 3 months??
Billingsley 16-10 ERA of 3.14 201 K's 80 BB's in 200.2 innings
Billingsley in his last 14 starts has given up 3 runs or less in 13 of them....went 12-3 in his last 15 decisions. Had an ERA of 3.41 in August and 3.24 in September.
Zambrano 14-6 ERA of 3.91 130 K's 72 BB's in 188.2 innings
Zambrano in his last 15 starts gave up 3 runs or less in only 8 of them. went 6-5 in his last 11 decisions. Had an ERA of 7.43 in August and 7.08 in September.
I'm definitely taking the pitcher who's been consistant the past two months over the pitcher that hasn't been since July.
Look at CC today, he's giving up runs...so will Zambrano.
