    ONE Play that I really like...a BIG Doggie! (And another warning!)
    I really like the Pirates +170 today.

    I will provide a writeup a little later.

    Also please stay away from ST LOUIS at EVEN money today against Houston. I know its very tempting to take STL +100. But I believe you have go Houston or NO play there. (I am leaning towards Houston.)

              Cubs couldnt more pathetic, after yesterdays performance.

              Pitt is still a horrible road team though. If Pitt loses I wouldnt be surprised, and thats why I'm going to bet them FF.

                  Pittsburgh Pirates @ Chicago Cubs (Day Game)

                  The Pirates are an abysmal road team. There is no denying that. I think they have won about 15 games all season on the road. I think they are approaching the dubious record of most road losses in a single season; not something this current roster wants to be associated with. But the crazy thing is that one third of those road wins have come against the Cubs, Wrigley. Its like a home away from home for the Pirates.

                  I throw away all the Pirates early season failures. I actually throw away all poor teams early season failures come late August and September. The teams make up and mentality is totally different at this stage of the season. The rosters look completely different. Out are the underachieving, high priced veterans. In are the young, exciting, talented prospects. These kids know that this might be their one true opportunity to showcase themselves for the next season. They have everything to play for.

                  The Pirates have a roster comprised of very young and talented batters. Their top 3 in the order are sensational kids, that play the game the right way: hard. Jose Tabata, Neil Walker, and Andrew McCutchen are the real deal. These kids can flat out play. They get on base, they run, and hustle. Pedro Alvarez is another young kid who has all the talent in the world. He can rake.

                  The Chicago Cubs also have some of these young kids (Starlin Castro, Tyler Colvin) playing for them, but they also still have a lot of veterans on their roster: Alfonso Soriano, Xavier Nady, Aramis Ramirez, Marlon Byrd....guys that are assured rosters spots somewhere in baseball next year. The types of guys who you could see taking it easy on a hot August day, this late in the season, for a day game after getting drubbed the night before.

                  I really like the pitcher the Pirates are throwing out there today. James McDonald has all the talent in the world. A former pitching prospect for the Dodgers, he never really got a fair chance to shine. He has that chance in Pittsburgh. McDonals can flat out pitch. He can be nasty at time. A few starts back he struck out 6 of the first 7 batters (something like that). This is his big stage.

                  The cubs send starter-turned relief pitcher-turned back to start again Tom Gorzelanny to the hill. Gorzo is a solid, yet average, veteran pitcher. He is likely not to get destroyed, but he will never amaze you. He doesnt have PLUS stuff.

                  I think the young and loose Pirates will get to Gorzelanny early and often today. McDonald will pitch well enough to win.

                  The +170 is a bargain/steal in my eyes. The Cubs should never be a -180 favorite. And definitely not with Tom Gorzelanny on the mound. This isn't Mark Prior and Kerry Wood of 2003.

                  Pirates 6 Cubs 3

                                            I like the Cubs by 1. Pittsburg +RL.

                                            Pittsburg beat the crap out of the Cubs last night. Todays game will be close.

                                            Pitts run avg is 6 as is Cubs. Pitcher avgs, Pitt @ 3, Cubs @ 4.

                                            Perfect opportunity to bet both sides.

                                              Cubs have done a better job under their new manager, but Pirates have been playing hard.

                                              Local gave me Pirates +200! I'll take a bit on it.
