THE DUKE SPORTS
San Francisco Over (9) for 2 Units
Tonight's two starters appear vulnerable to getting hit. Matt Cain, who is on a nice run, sports a lofty 7.20 ERA in 4 starts vs the Phillies. The Phillies' lineup is batting a healthy .300 this month vs righties and should jump on Cain, who is 6-1 O/U vs the NLE. On the other hand, Joe Blanton has not had an easy time with SF sporting a 5.08 ERA vs them. Blanton, who usually is the beneficiary of good run support, is 19-6-2 O/U in his last 27 overall and 7-0-1 O/U in his last 8 home starts. The SF lineup is patient and can jump on Blanton early. SF is 4-1 O/U vs a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30 ERA. And the Phillies' bullpen, which sports a bloated 5.88 ERA this month, most assuredly will make an appearance. "Over" the call.

BOB BALFEMinnesota Twins -153
This game is all about momentum. Thome hit a 2-run shot to win the game last night and extended Minnesota's win streak to five straight, resulting in a 3-game slide for Chicago. These teams play tight games when they face each other, but legs have to feel a little bit fresher on the Twins side. Take Minnesota.
