The Nats have never been a good road team and this season is no different. The Nats have posted an 8-18 mark on the road against .500+ teams, and are just 11-22 overall in their last 33 games. Balester will make his Major League debut tonight for the Nats, but his numbers at AAA aren't outstanding. He has pitched to a 4 ERA and allowed 14 HR'S in just 78 innings.
Hendrickson havn't been good either with a 6.75 ERA in his L3 and a 5.93 ERA overall, but in his last start earlier this season @ Nats he gave up only 1 ER in 7 innings where the Marlins won 4-3. Also it looks like the Marlins have started hitting again and I think they gonna give Hendrickson enough run support.
My guess: 7-5 Marlins
# Cubs +110, 9 units
Both pitchers had a rough time their last starts. Marquis gave up 7 runs in 4 innings while Cain gave up 4 runs in 5 innings.
I got a feeling that Marquis will bounche back while Cain won't.
On the road Marquis got a 3.51 ERA with 1.46 ERA in 41 innings where he's given up only 3 HR's. Against the Giants Marquis got a 3-0 record with a 2.56 ERA, all of them on the road. Cain got a 4.47 ERA with 1.41 WHIP and given up 7 HR's in 50.1 innings at home. Against the Cubs Cain got a 1-1 record with a 5.73 ERA.
The Cubs won 9-2 yesterday and might turn the road problems around against a weak Giants team.
My guess: 8-5 Cubs
# Cardinals -132, 13.2 units
Armas will probably get the call up from Triple-A for a fill-in start on Tuesday. In AAA he got a 5-6 record with a 2.50 ERA. Against the Cardinals Armas got a 3-2 record with a 3.98 ERA in nine meetings, seven of those being starts.
He's facing Wellemeyer who comes form a strong comback after his recent injury, throwing a shutout in 5 innings @Tigers where he gave up only 4 hits, walked non and K'd 3. In his L9 Wellemeyer hasn't given up more than 3 runs in 8 of them, in his last game before the injury he gave up 8 in 3.1 innings vs Phillies. Among those 8 he got 5 with 1 or 0 -ER's. In his only start vs the Mets he gave up only 1 run in 6 innings in a 5-3 Cards win (06/26/07).
The Cardinals are out-hitting the Mets .292 with 6.75 R/9 against .239 with 4.05 R/9 in their L10.
The Cardinals got a 3 game win streak and are looking for a 4th with a 20-7 record in the 2nd game of a series this season against a Mets team who loses two in a row before a win in their L7 games.
My guess: 6-3 Cardinals
# Astros -127, 12.7 units
A weak Dodgers team with Kershaw and his command problems against a Astros team that comes from a series win agains the Sox and with Rodriguez on the mound who got a 1.89 ERA at home. The Dodgers are 5-13 in their last 18 road games while the Astros are 4-1 in their last 5 home games.
Also the Astros are out-hitting the Dodgers vs lefities with a .271 batting avg with 5.66 R/9 against Dodgers .223 batting avg with only 1.33 R/9 in their L10.
The Dodgers are 1-5 in the last 6 meetings in Houston and 0-4 in their last 4 meetings.
With Furcal, Pierre, Carciaparra, Abreu, Bennett and now maby Kemp they are way to weak to beat a Astros theam that is a better home team than the record shows.
My guess: 5-1 Astros
Also got a few score in 1st inning leans

TOR@SEA +100, Yes
