Thursday morning...

Another positive day! 4-2 was good for +290 units again yesterday, with another 1-0 on strong endorsements. People were following my lead, and jumped all over Danny Haren, who pitched a gem after giving up 2 runs in the first. The D'backs received all five votes yesterday, and they won easily, 8-3. The Astros and Mets made it interesting until the end, but alas came up short.

Chc/Mil - Oh man, this is the series that keeps on giving. Two teams battling each other keep throwing out some of the best starters in the National League. On the surface, it would seem the Cubs have the clear advantage. Look closer, and you can see that Dave Bush has a 2.95 ERA and .266 BAA at home. Also, “Bush has made three July starts, spanning 21 innings, and for the month he's notched 25 strikeouts and has not issued a single walk!” In his career vs the Cubs though, he hasn’t fared so well. “The right-hander has struggled no matter where he's faced the Cubs, going 1-6 with a 4.88 ERA. He allowed six runs in 5 1-3 innings of a 6-3 loss at Chicago on April 3 for his fourth consecutive defeat to the Cubs.” The Brewers haven’t broken out offensively yet, but they are capable of doing so at any time. Meanwhile, Harden hasn’t won a game yet as a Cub (3 starts), “Harden (0-1, 1.04 ERA) has allowed two earned runs and eight hits in 17 1-3 innings over three starts since being traded to Chicago from Oakland on July 8. He's struck out 10 in each contest .“ Sometimes, you just got to go with your gut. It is very hard to sweep a team on the roal in the MLB, especially a team as potent as the Brewers. This represents some of the best value you will get all year with them, Take a chance on the Brew-crew at +130.
