PIT +171 or CHC +154

[No coincidences]

Which hits? Because one will.

[miyakuza]

Id rather go with Pit, Cubs are terrible and Zito is priced right being at home and his solid outings.

[lunchbawks]

neither dont kid urself

[Fthenorm]

I think i read zito is 1-3 lifetime against cubs, Gorz is 3-0 against SF..for what its worth

[$Burm$]

cubbies will win 2night

[JR007]

Thats the angle.... 2nd game off the streak buster.......how much luv do you have for the Cubs.. ???
over the Pirates

[JR007]

McDonald is off a nice start in his last game, striking out a career-high eight while throwing a 4-hitter for six innings in a 5-1 home win versus Colorado. That was McDonald's Pittsburgh debut.

McDonald, though, is nowhere near that good. The Dodgers had high hopes for him during spring training, but soon gave up on him eventually dealing him to Pittsburgh. The Pirates are willing to give just about any pitcher a chance. McDonald's brilliant performance against Colorado sets up a nice value play on the 'over' because the oddsmaker has put too much stock in that one performance. Keep in mind, too, the Pirates' bullpen is in a state of flux without a legitimate closer.

The other side of the handicap is Padres starter Kevin Correia. He, too, is off a fine outing shutting out the Dodgers on four hits in 5 2/3 innings this past Thursday.

But starts like that have been rare for Correia. His walks are up nearly two a game from last year and he's already surrendered 17 homers, which is as many as he gave up all of last year. Correia has eight walks and only four strikeouts during his last three starts. His ERA at Petco Park is 4.52, which is terrible for such a great pitcher's park.

Neither McDonald nor Correia are strong enough pitchers to have the linesmaker put out a 7 on their total, which is what this matchup opened at. But because they both pitched shut out games in their last start, the line has been skewed downward. It's time to take advantage of that by going over

Fading Zito at home after the all-star break?

NO, thanks.

Strong reasoning; this is the only thing that really jumped out at me when I looked over the late games.

i think the under might actually be the right call here...in petco park and neither of these teams are especially strong hitting teams.the pads could win this one 4 or 5 to 1

[mandude]

I like CHC +154 tonight. SF has been ice cold against lefties for a while now & Gorzo actually pitches much better away from Wrigley. I also like the fact that the Scrubs have had good success against Zito & at SF.

[tatddy]

Pads win and under. Giants win and over.

[dodger33]

Asking the Pirates to get their 14th win on the road is a tall order. But they will cover the rl

cubs

[INVEGA MAN]

I like the Cubs tonight. SF looking past the cubs because they play SD this weekend. They should of lost Monday night. Cubs can hit. I CANT BET PGH.

[DeluxeLiner]

pitt is the better play...

[tatddy]

They should "of" lost Monday night? Clearly you didn't watch the game. The should "HAVE" won that game by 5 runs.

[Darkside Magick]

Take the cubs...for what ever that worth!!!

[miyakuza]

Cubs can hit? Oh sorry, since they are such sluggers thats why I remember them being 48-65.

[Fasttrack]

I'm leaning Pitt beating SD more than taking the Cubs over the SF.

[mcmc]

I like both of these dogs for 1st 5 plays.

I also like the under at AT&T, cause you ain't gonna see 28 hits like last night. imo

Careful, wind blowing out pretty well to center.

copy that.

[WvGambler]

Pittsburgh and over is the play here. Bucs lineup looks strong, as far as bucs lineups go.

[Wilforth]

I doubt any of those will hit!

[JR007]

see how the money moves

[jiwoolim]

cubbis 3-0..

[Pauulzcappin]

Giants looking good

[BIGDAY]

Best of luck!
