Mon. Aug. 22 - Plays

Atlanta Braves at Wrigley Field, Cubs come home from 3-3 road trip and sends
Carlos Zambrano to the mound. He has been sparkling of late with last game 1 run given up in 8 1/3 innings striking out 10 Astros. This guy goes deep consistantly with record of 1.07 ERA in Aug.
Hudson also having excellent Aug. going deep in his outing.

As wonderful as these two pitchers are Total 6.5 with rising OPS, Atlanta has gone Over 8-2-1 and Cubs have gone OVER 6-2

ATL/CUBS OVER 6.5 -130 to win 2 units

St. Louis Cardinals at Pittsburgh Pirates. This look like a one sided pitching match up with Mark Mulder owning the Bucs and Josh Fogg owned by the Cards.
I will play the spread on this game.

STL RL -1.5 at -107 to win 3 units

Houston Astros at San Diego Padres.
Oswalt has hit a rough spot giving up 4 runs in his last two outings. I feel a bounce back spot and Astro bats getting to Woody.

HOU ML at -135 to win 2 units

Braves and Cubs in game:
These two pitchers going at it in Chicago are totally sick, nothing but, goose eggs and mowing down batters. Hudson's splitter is just dropping off at the plate.
This game is looking Under at this rate both of these guys could complete the game.
Chipper made the difference for the Braves and made the Total going into the 9th interesting. Just missed but, paid heavy juice for Total play.
Game Ends: 4-2 Braves Loser


Cards and Bucs in game:
I can't believe this, how many hits does it take to bring home the Cards 11 hits 3 runs? How many double plays do they hit into? Bucs still on the heels with 3 hits and 1 run.
That's how it ends.
Game End: 3-1 Cards Winner

Astros and Padres in game
Oswalt pitching out of jams. Woody keeping the Pads in game but, Astros have hit him 9 times and scored 3. Still close.
After Woody exits Rudy Seanez comes in, looking not settled on the mound, gets behind the count on Berkman. Berkman getting the green light with 3-1 count, Taveras on first, hits a 2 run shot "Good bye Rawlings". One more Berkman double to send Biggio home in the 9th.
Game End: 6-2 Astros Winner
