Large
discrepancy in starting pitching and bullpen. Cubs' BP is completely
depleted with Marmol most likely being unavailable after their 13 inning
marathon last night. White Sox used a lot of their relievers as well
in Colorado but they're in a better shape. I don't see Wells lasting
past the 6th inning in this one. Can Dunn do anything besides ground
out into DP's? Ozzie, it's time to send him to the minors to work on
his 'swing'. The Windy City Bombers take this first one! #2: UNDER 9 STL/TAM +106
My
model has this one at 7 so we'll need 10 runs scored to lose this one.
Davis never faced the Cards before and Wesbrook is plenty rested in
this one. One of the worst hitters' parks in the league and with solid
UNDER trends here.
See breakdown below for additional analysis.
Good luck!

Wells' velocity is down to 87 MPH, from 90 MPH his
first 3 years in the league. Adam Dunn has an OPS of 2.167 in 4 career
AB's off him. With 95+ degrees tomorrow and winds blowing out at 12
MPH, could this be Dunn's breakout party?!? (I of course kid about his
past numbers against Wells being relevant in the future with that
sample-size) Both bullpens are pretty used up, but Cubs even more so.

Wow... miss any games Bodio? Seriously, thank you for your hard work. You put more time into writeups than anyone else on here.
Was wondering if I could get you to pick sides on a few games you didn't have leans on. Like, gun-to-your-head type stuff.
TOR, BOS, TB, AZ, Mil
Also, I was wondering exactly why you lean SFG for the third game in a row. How can you trust their offense, or their bullpen right now? I realize this is just a lean and not an official play, but I'd still like to know because I was leaning Detroit in this game.
Thanks for all your work Bodio, I hope you get all your units back and then some after this interleague bullshit is over.

My leans on the games you listed: TOR, HOU (much better pitcher, Boston have to travel, will be missing Youk and Big Papi, coming off a big series with Philly), TB/STL (just shoot me...I really can't even guess which way. I guess the 'home' team but that's just cause I can't make up my mind on this one), OAK (If Harden's control is on (big if), he will strike a lot of guys out and 'Zona is one of those teams that tends to strike-out a lot), MIN (I almost listed that as my lean, but decided not to as Milwaukee overall is a much better team. The problem is that this is a rematch from a week ago and Brew Crew are flying in from NY for this one. Oh and they're the 2nd worst road team in the league).
In terms of the Giants, just a way better starting pitcher on the mound. It's not even close. Sure Giants BP is a bit tired, but theyr'e still way better than Detroit's. So you have an advantage in starting pitching (BIG) and bullpen (BIG) and obviously a disadvantage in hitting (BIG). Pitching always trumps hitting and I would expect Giants O to be pretty productive against a mediocre pitcher like Penny...

Yeah no shit. That's some bullshit! These owners are pretty ridiculous with their whining about losing $$., with all these 'bogus' tax breaks in place and ways to reduce your real profit through accounting.

Thanks Bodio. Think I will lay off Boston and just use LVL's POM in some round robins. Really like TB tomorrow, so I'm glad you agree there. Wish you would've said Zona and Mil... but that's quite all right. I'm going to wake up early to see if I can get any more info on the Toronto game. Sucks that you like SF so much because I put Detroit on a contest pick... but oh well I think it's streak survivor and I don't have any streak going.
