SPORTS WAGERS

Washington +1.45 over ST. LOUIS

Kyle Lohse (15 BPV, 0-2-5-0-1 PQS) has seen his strikeouts and walks regress and with batters getting better wood against him this year, the results haven’t been pretty. He’s needed 197 pitches to get through his last nine innings, so he clearly hasn’t found it yet. Not that he ever had “it”. Furthermore, the Cardinals are sinking faster than LeBron James’ chances of staying in Cleveland and if things don’t change soon something is going to give in St. Louis. As talked about in one of our earlier blogs, the Cards made a huge error in hiring Mark McGwire as its hitting coach. One can only imagine what the players are thinking when getting instructions from a guy that had a career batting average before steroids of .243. It’s like getting Shakespeare lessons from a high school dropout. It’s ludicrous and don’t think it doesn’t have a negative effect because it clearly has. The Cards have scored three runs or less in eight of its last 12 games. They just lost five of six games to Houston and Cincinnati and were swept by the Astros. Over its last dozen games the Cards are batting .231. Tony LaRussa is the most overrated manager ever. He’s had success only because of his pitching coach, Dave Duncan, who has taken pitchers off the scrap heap for years and made them effective. The players are being instructed by a liar and a cheat, (McGwire) or a guy with zero credibility. He was hired because he was going broke and needed a job so his pal LaRussa stepped up for him. The Cards are a go against team right now and you can be sure that the front office is putting pressure on LaRussa about McGwire. In other words, LaRussa is having a Jack Daniels right now. Kyle Lohse and the Cardinals laying significant juice is a huge risk that is not worth taking. Play: Washington +1.45 (Risking 2 units).


Pittsburgh +1.80 over PHILADELPHIA (1st 5 innings)

It sure is tough to pull the trigger on the Pirates over the Phillies but this one is all about taking back a big price on Charlie Morton over Kyle Kendrick. Morton (83 BPV, 0-0-4-4-4 PQS) is due a break. His 9.19 ERA is downright unfair. He’s thrown three rock solid games in a row has lasted at least six innings in all of them. Morton has 27 K’s in 31 frames. He throws strikes and when you throw strikes you always have a chance to win. So, while the line-up he’ll face tonight needs no introduction, there’s a great chance the Pirates will score some runs against Kendrick (5 BPV, 3-1-3-3-2 PQS). Kendrick hasn’t been very impressive this season nor has he ever been. He has yet to show any skills over an extended period of time. He can implode at any time and is likely to even more at home. In fact, in three home starts, Kendrick has a BAA of .311 and an ERA of 6.59. Furthermore, the Phillies might get caught napping here after a five game trip to Colorado and Milwaukee in which they won four times including a three-game sweep this past weekend. This is a vulnerable spot against a vulnerable pitcher and the price seals the deal. Because this choice is largely based on going against Kendrick, we’re going to play this one in the first half. Play: Pittsburgh +1.80 in the first five innings).
