Baseball Underdog of the Day Contest - Tuesday, 5/13/08

[szaidi99]

tampa +128

gonna hang the yanks tonite

[MOONCRICKET]

pitt+140: pitt is 2-0 in dumatrait's starts, and i just think he is a better pitcher than kyle lohse anyways

[brock]

961 Pittsburgh Pirates +140 one name for STL Lohse bombs away for Pitts.

[Checkerboard]

Chicago White Sox +116

LAA's never seen Danks whose stellar over last five starts. Weaver is one for whom things could be going better. LAA favoured because of last night's bust out? but it was one of those matchups where everything just fell in, don't expect that to happen as fortuitiously this evening . . .

[pimike]

Padres plus 153 10 units

Estes is coming back from surgery out all of last year he is sure to lose right?

So therefore to good to be true I'm going with Estes in this one.

[rjt721]

LT,

I believe my record should be 3-4, not 2-5. Units are correct, however, which is all that really matters. Thanks for putting in the time to do this every day.

[sharktank1]

ASTROS + 114

I hate going against my home team here, (but) my Giants are only 10-10 @ ATT Park this year.
Where on the other hand, the Astros are 11-11 on the road, so far this year.
With Berkman's bat red hot, the Astros are 9-1 in their last 10 games.
Winning their last four in a row.
In this battle of righties, (they last pitched against each other 25 months ago, with Backe winning), it's dejavu all over again!

[rjt721]

Marlins +150

Volquez has been sensational for the most part, with the one caveat being that he's walked 24 in 42.1 IP, including 6 BB's in his last start. -160 status is just too much for a poor Cincy team and a young starter, despite how impressive Volquez has been.

[pokernut9999]

SD +153 : My favorite team, they have to win some day.

[THE HITMAN]

FLA + 1.50

A toss-up tonite for me between WASH or FLA. So, I'll go with the team with the best W/L % in the majors...........and take the + 150. Cinn no great shakes vs. LHP, either.

[Microphone]

963 Rockies +120

Both pitchers have pitched well vs. tonight's respective opponents but Johnson just a % of his former self.

[ChuteBoxe]

Houston's been on fire as of late, and I look for their winning streak to continue going into San Fran. Backe owns a 2.03 ERA against St. Louis, and his TRGS is 2-1. Cain on the other hand got hit for 3 runs in his only start against Houston. The Astros all hold a good record against RHP this year, and I look for Cain to have a another letdown game.

Astros +114

[indy62]

San Diego Padres +153 ..with 17-20 mph winds to left its a crap shoot

[oakas]

Texas Rangers +112

Two teams going in opposite directions here. I will go with the home team.

[marley33]

Astros + 114
Hottest Team in Baseball

[diogee]

979 Chicago White Sox +116 Danks has been solid over his last 5 and allowed 6 ER in 29.5 innings of work while Weaver has allowed 21 in his last 5 games. CWS bullpen is 11th with an ERA of 3.52 while the Angels are next to last with an ERA of 4.98

[Shooter]

974 Texas Rangers +112

Just don't like the look of the Mariners right now, and Texas is hitting the ball. Gabbard is a solid propect and what a deal to get him in a trade. Last week he got beat down by Richie after a high pitch. I like Texas.

[pats3peat]

961 Pittsburgh Pirates +140
in recent history pirates have been good against cards

[MonkeyF0cker]

Pittsburgh Pirates +140

This is a fade of Kyle Lohse who has been overperforming this year so far. The Cards bats have also been quiet lately. Hoping that continues tonight.

[rake922]

Whitesox +116

White Sox are 10-3 in the last 13 meetings in Los Angeles
Angels are 1-5 in Weavers last 6 starts.

[soli]

Houston +114

I think Backe and M Cain are even in this match up however I will give the edge to Houston with the bats. Both pitchers are struggling with high era's but Houston seem to have the better line up.

[treece]

963 Colorado Rockies +120
Jeff Francis will break the streak tonight, he's long overdue.

[Kaps]

Tue 5/13 965 Houston Astros +114

im lovin the astro bats all series ....there hott

[SexyMit]

Houston +114

They have been hot as of lately and I think Backe and Mcain are pretty close to even in the pitching matchup.

[LT Profits]

SexyMit,

[LT Profits]
