What looked like a promising day at first turned out to be a losing one as I went 1-2 -1.00 Units. I'm confident in my selections today.
Cardinals -110
Pros: Joel Pineiro has been much better at home this season with a 2.84 ERA. He is opposing Pedro "the gas can" Martinez. Since coming off the DL, Pedro has been awful. Don't expect him to suddenly pitch well against the powerful Cardinal offense.
Cons: The only con is the Cardinal bullpen, which won't be a factor if the Cards destroy Pedro.
Cardinals Team Total Over 4 -125
Pros: As I said, Pedro and his 7.22 ERA will get hit hard today. Even the awful Padres offense managed to get hits against him.
Twins -120
Pros: Blackburn has been great at home. The Tigers will be without Magglio and possibly Miguel Cabrera. Eddie Bonine has yet to face the Twins, but he is used to the inferior NL teams. Expect him to get rocked.
Cons: The Twins are the better team, especially since Mags and Miguel Cabrera will be out.
