WILL BE BACK AND START A THREAD LATER WITH MORE:
PHILADELPHIA -117 (2.5 UNITS) - Let's not forget that when right, Cole Hamels is one of the top three lefties in baseball. He struggled early on but is beginning to put things together. In his last three starts, he has tossed 17.3 innings and allowed 14 hits, 3 earned runs and had a 20:5 K:BB ratio. More importantly, he loves pitching at Great American Ballpark where he is 2-0 and has thrown 21 innings and allowed just 11 hits, 2 earned runs, a 0.86 ERA and a 26:10 K:BB ratio. People have grown excited about the Reds lately but I'm not sure I fully understand it. They are without Edward Encarnacion and Alex Gonzalez and Joey Votto is doubtful tonight. This team struggles against lefties. Without Joey Votto, the rest of the lineup is hitting .205 against lefties this year (51 for 249) with just 5 HR's and 16 RBI's. Here are four of the regulars we will probably see tonight and their numbers against lefties this season:

Jay Bruce 5 for 31
Jerry Hairston 6 for 31
Willy Taveras 5 for 25
Ramon Hernandez 5 for 25
The Phillies have the better bullpen, lineup and I give them a slight
advantage in starting pitching based upon the matchups. Johnny Cueto is an
outstanding young pitcher and is the one positive I see for the Reds today. The
Phils are an outstanding 12-4 on the road while the Reds are just 7-9 at
home. If anyone is hesitant about facing them, then look towards the Reds' team
total UNDER.
CUBS -117 (2.5 UNITS) - Ted Lilly has
been outstanding this season. He sports a 1.05 WHIP, .227 average allowed and
has a 38:9 K:BB ratio. In his last three starts, he has tossed 20.3 innings and
allowed 17 hits, 6 earned runs and has a 22:3 K:BB ratio. He has been
outstanding against the Cardinals. The last three seasons against the Cards, he
is 5-2 with a 3.29 ERA. IN 68.3 innings, he has allowed 57 hits, 25 earned runs
and has a 45: 16 K:BB ratio. At Busch Stadium, he is 3-0 and has thrown 28
innings and allowed 28 hits, 9 earned runs with a 20:7 K:BB ratio and a 2.38
ERA. Outside of Pujols. Lilly owns the Cards. Outside of Pujols, Cards' hitters
are 22 for 130 against Lilly for a .169 average and with Pujols they are 31 for
158 for a .196 average. Joel Piniero doesn't do it for me and I think we are
seeing signs of the real Joel Piniero of late. In his last two starts, he has
thrown 12 innings and allowed 19 hits and 10 runs. He pounds the over-pounds the
strike zone and while limiting his walks, he does not have overpowering stuff.
He has just 14 K's in 45 innings this season and is very hittable. In addition
he has struggled against the Cubs. In the last 3 years, he has a 6.33 ERA
against the Cubs and has allowed 28 hits and 17 runs in 21 innings. Cubs'
hitters are 33 for 96 (.344) against him with 5 HR's. The Cards remain banged up
without Ludwick, Ankiel and Glaus and are a shell of a team without much
protection for Pujols.

Yet the line is PK
Cubs are a "Paper Tiger"
I often like your angle but then again Lohse was -115 to -120 yesterday over Looper...now you have almost a 35 cent swing here....yes, Lilly is better than Looper in my opinion...if this line closes at -105 to -110, I will see your point...if it goes to -125 to -130, I don't.

There's no risk taking the Cubs at any price vs. struggling Cards.
Line on Cubs should keep climbing.
There's little reason to take STL at PK,but plenty of reasons to take CHC at PK.
There is no 100% cappers in the world
