Cajun Sports MLB 2* Complimentary Selection- Friday
Date/Time: Friday May 1 / 10:10PM EST
Sport/Type: MLB / Total
Game: San Diego Padres @ Los Angeles Dodgers
Graded Selection: 2* San Diego / Los Angeles Over 8 (+105)
Analysis:
Dodger Stadium will be the site of tonight’s National League battle between the host Los Angeles Dodgers and the visiting San Diego Padres. These two have already met once this season in a four-game set in San Diego with all four games going ‘under’ the posted total. One might think that the same will be true in the City of Angels but history tells a different story, this series has seen the ‘over’ cash at a rate of 20-8 the last twenty-eight meetings in Los Angeles and 13-5 ‘over’ the last three seasons in Dodger Stadium. The Padres are 12-8 ‘over’ on the season, 7-3 ‘over’ on the road and 9-4 ‘over’ when playing under the lights. San Diego will send Jake Peavy to the bump with his 7.87 ERA and WHIP of 1.875 over his last three outings. Peavy is 4-1 ‘over’ on the season and a perfect 3-0 ‘over’ in his last three. LA is 11-7 ‘over’ this season, 4-1 ‘over’ at home, 8-4 ‘over’ under the lights and 10-5 ‘over’ when facing a right-handed starter. The Dodgers will send left-handed starter Clayton Kershaw to the hill with his 9.00 ERA and WHIP of 1.50 in his last three times to post. He is 3-1 ‘over’ in all starts this season and a perfect 3-0 ‘over’ his last three trips to the bump. We also have two key angles for the starters in this game, Peavy is 7-0 ‘over’ in road games in the first half of the season the last 2 seasons and Kershaw is 10-2 ‘over’ in night games the last 2 seasons. With solid technical and fundamental support we will play the ‘over’ here as the Padres and Dodgers sail over the posted total in the City of Angels on Friday night.

Florida Marlins
With the Cubs now reaching as high as -290 in a couple of key precincts, we have to get in play here for at least a small amount, and in this case a small amount pays off in a big way.
Chicago is sitting at .500 right now because that is all that the Cubs have been. Consider a starting lineup that will have half of the position players batting at .189 or less and you can see how difficult it is to merit this range. And we are talking about key cogs not contributing, like Derrek Lee, Milton Bradley and Geovanny Soto, along with Aramis Ramirez having to sit out again. Graham Taylor does not have to be anything special at all to put the Marlins in the game against this most limited bunch.
Florida is a sharp 8-4 on the road so far, and the Marlins out-played the Cubs in a major way last night, with 10 hits and six walks, including four of the hits going for extra bases, vs. five hits and one walk for Chicago. And by breaking the game wide open in the 10th they were able to get the win without closer Matt Lindstrom having to work. This lineup brings more than enough punch and confidence to take on Rich Harden at this price, particularly with a lot of power into a pitcher that has already given up five home runs in 21 innings. And with Harden not having worked beyond the 6th inning all season the latter stages can be a real problem for Lou Piniella - the Chicago bullpen is lacking in options, with Carlos Marmol off of back-to-back games and 42 pitches; Kevin Gregg off of back-to-back and 50; and Aaron Heilman a likely no-go as well off of last night’s ugly outing in which 29 pitches could not lead to a single out.

I was super high on Colorado starter Ubaldo Jimenez going into the season.
Now Jimenez needs to be faded until he turns things around - if he ever does. Jimenez has talent, but control always has been a problem for him. It's haunting him again.
Jimenez has surrendered 16 runs and 14 walks in his past 12 innings. This is what his manager, Clint Hurdle, said about the right-hander, "Ubaldo is not where he needs to be. The consistency isn't there and the fastball command isn't there."
Not exactly a ringing endorsement is it?
The Giants are playing well, winning eight of their last 11. They are home. Colorado traditionally is not a strong road club.
Giants starter Randy Johnson had a rough outing in his last start, but is healthy and looked good before then. I believe Johnson bounces back against a team he has dominated.
Johnson is 14-4 with a 2.13 ERA versus the Rockies since 2001. He was 3-0 last year year against them with a 2.70 ERA.
This is a one-unit play for me.
