1-3 yesterday -3.4 Units, Kameron Loe ends up looking like a stud. That came out of nowhere but I guess everyone here was too caught up into the Pirates win the day before thinking they were "hot" when they really just played two games well vs a team that sucks.
Posted some of my thoughts over in the Friday Discussion/Thoughts thread, you should check it out, some good info in there from the forum.
In the Early game today SD/CHC - SD and Wells as Dogs. I know Wells isn't anything special but come on. It was established earlier in the year that SD just owned the Cubs and this could be a steal for a dog. You have to count on the bats for SD to come around but Lilly has been pitching very poorly, and SD bullpen is definitely top tier while you never know what you will get with the Cubs. Barrett is scheduled to play today, but these Cubs just haven't seen much of Wells and I think that will be to Wells advantage. The Cubbies have been pretty hot recently and playing a lot of close games. These Padres haven't seen much of Lilly except for Mike Cameron who hits lefties fairly well and has hit Lilly very well in the past. He hasn't pitched in a while either after getting ejected in the 1st inning vs. the Braves. He may be well rested but perhaps will be rusty. Lilly has some good day outtings this year with a sub 3 ERA.
Here's a bit of info:
RotoWorld.com has learned that Chase Headley is being called up for Friday's game and will be in the lineup against the Cubs.
As if it wasn't already obvious, Padres manager Bud Black just isn't a fan of Russell Branyan. If Kevin Kouzmanoff goes on the DL, Headley will likely get a chance to play fairly regularly for a couple of weeks, making him a decent option in NL-only leagues. Headley has hit .357/.433/.648 in 227 at-bats for Double-A San Antonio.
Cubs are 14-18 @ home, Padres 18-15 on the road. Padres 12-5 vs NL Cent, Cubs are 3-5 vs. NL west
Brocail will be unavailable today.
Padres are averaging 5.5 runs in July. 7-5 on the month
Cubs are averaging 4.93 runs in July. 8-6 on the month.
Not a lot of info to back either side. But basically Padres have the Cubs # it seems, meaning getting the W. 10-2 in the last 12 meetings. Lilly has put up good #'s vs the Padres but last appearance was 2004. Wells pitched a great game earlier this year allowing 5 hits, 2 BBs, 1 ER, 5 Ks in 7 IP, just under a month ago, threw about 13 pitches an inning very efficient game.
Very little wind, but very warm weather.
May make a play on the Padres today.
Arizona Diamondbacks +143
UNDER 8.5
I am very high on Owings, I've posted my thoughts about him all year. Big time pitcher who came out of nowhere to start playing this year really. Flew up the minor leagues last year and a sub 3 era in all his games minus 1 bad outting vs the Pirates after being injured with a hammy/sent back to the minors when Randy was called up. He doesn't have the best stuff as a pitcher, but he doesn't get frustrated easily. He was basically the team at Tulane and always game up big, that's why I love this guy, he was clutch and that's something you can't teach. O's are still reeling, yea the D-Backs offense is in a funk but as a dog at this size is too much too me. I mean they did face Boston and New York back to back. They faced Beckett, Tavarez, Dice-K, Wang, Moose, Pettitte. Becketts been superb, Tavarez has been pitching decently, Dice-K is overrated a bit but Randy just owned the Red Sox, Wang is starting to get back into form, Moose though he may be underachieving is a Vet and can pitch when needed and Pettitte has been very good this year. They lost 6/7 but two were blown by the bullpens. Owings has faced some good hitting teams lately. The O's are as close as non clutch as can be, which is good for Owings because he can get about 6 K's a game but he can get out of jams. Bedard is a good pitcher, can get a lot of K's but he's too inconsistant to me. The thing that scares me is the D-Backs are horrible against lefties only hitting .229. Under looks like a good play but these bullpens aren't the greatest. I may be a bit of a homer with this lean but if the D-Backs get dogged anymore I may have to pull the trigger on them.
BOL to Yall Friday :cheers:
