Took Sunday off. 22-8, +20.85 last 14 days.

3* Cardinals -123: The Cards have lost five straight on the road and their offense has really struggled, scoring only 11 runs in those 5 losses. However, returning home, where they hit much better, to face David Wells should be just what the offense needs to get back on track. Wells has been brutal away from Petco (2-5, 7.27 ERA, 1.96 WHIP, .358 BAA), and he has just 1 quality start in 9 outings on the road. Braden Looper's been significantly better at Busch (4-3, 3.51, 1.24 at home/4-6, 6.86, 1.61 on the road), and SD's offense is hitting only .238 against RHP.

1* Blue Jays +140: The Yankees finally play a decent team away from home. Jesse Litsch has been outstanding his last 5 starts (3-2, 1.70 ERA), and NY's offense isn't nearly as productive away from Yankee Stadium. After a terrible stretch in late June/early July, Pettitte's been reasonably sharp of late, but the Jays' offense has destroyed lefties this season. Also, Vernon Wells (11-26), Frank Thomas (17-45) and Troy Glaus (10-34) have all had success against Pettitte. Once again, the Yanks are overpriced.

great selections..also bluejays are hitting .292 vs lefties as a team and have nine batters hitting over .300 vs lefties. I was just looking over the numbers and these two came out for me as well. I'm with you on both of these.

Thinking the over for Yanks\Jays tomorrow for the reasons listed... also the Yanks have been hitting overs themselves as of late, don't see them slowing down just yet.

[pokernut9999]

Yanks still average 6.6 runs in last 11 road games, despite being shutout once and held to 2 runs once. Over looks good

[LUNT101]

I've got the Blue Jays and the over in this one.

I'm with you on the Cardinals tonight RJT.

Adding:

1* Red Sox/Angels U 9 +100: Boston's offense isn't the same away from Fenway, and Weaver's had success against the Sox in limited duty. Schilling appears to be in better shape than he's been in all year, and he was sharp during his minor league rehab stint, reach the mid 90s with his fastball consistently for the first time in years. I expect Schill to pitch a good game. This game features two of the best bullpen's in the AL, so there doesn't figure to be many runs scored in the late innings of what should be a close, competitive game.
