LOUIS/PITTSBURGH Under
A high line here for a couple of starters that the betting markets have not given their due, and with both bullpens bringing all key arms rested and ready that means time to play.
Zach Duke will never approach the 8-2/1.81 of his rookie season; he does not have that kind of stuff. In today’s Betting and Fantasy MLB community, if you are 4-5/4.23 with only 40 strikeouts in 104.1 innings, you go on the “avoid” list. We should know, when the season began we had him their ourselves. But in an 11-6 run to the Under in his starts we have been able to find a couple of opportunities, largely because there is a bond of trust in what Duke is doing right. If you lack the stuff to strike out hitters you had better be very good at locating your pitches, and he is doing just that. With only 32 walks in those 104.1 frames, and with only seven home runs allowed, Duke is forcing the opposition to earn their runs by getting multiple hits in an inning. That is a recipe for success - particularly when working from this mound, where he has been a solid 3.38 through 56 innings this season. And a Cardinal offense that has produced just 13 runs in the last seven games can allow him a chance to get right into rhythm.
Kyle Lohse brings some of the same properties as Duke - his 10-2/3.61 is not getting priced properly because he is doing it more with precision than power. But when you only allow 28 walks and eight home runs in 112.1 innings you are once again forcing the opposition to cluster hits together in order to score. And lately Lohse is even making hits difficult to come by - only one time in his last nine starts has he allowed more hits than innings pitched, and that is despite the fact that the recent stretch has been a most challenging one, with his last five starts coming against the Phillies, Red Sox, Tigers, Mets and Cubs.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
