SABATHIA MAKES
FIRST START FOR BREWERS
7/8/08
There's a few interesting series this week as we're just about at
the all star break. We have the Cardinals and Phillies, two of the
National Leagues contenders squaring off in Philly. We have CC
Sabathia making his debut for the Brewers. The Bosox and Twins
continue their set and the Rays visit the Yanks for two in the
Bronx.
The Cardinals find themselves as high as +193 underdogs in Philly
tonight, which is just plain ridiculous. Certainly the pitching
matchup favors the Phillies and yeah, they have a higher probability
of winning tonight than the Cards do. But not at odds as high as
-210. You almost have to make an automatic play on the Cardinals
here on principle alone. The Phillies are just 2 games over .500 at
home and they have lost 3 straight and 8 of their last 9 at home.
The Cards are one of the few teams in all of baseball that has a
winning record on the road. You're just about guaranteed to win this
wager over the long run. A wager on a +193 dog under these exact
conditions will show you a profit long term, whereas, a play on a
210 favorite under these circumstances will send you looking for a
loan eventually.
Briefly, on CC Sabathia, wouldn't it be funny if he was bombed
tonight after this big trade that's supposed to cement the Brewers
post season chances? His ERA in 4 games against the Rockies is 9.82.
The Rockies have won 6 of their last 7. Hmmm.
