Patriot's Night Pick

OK, there's no such thing as Patriot's Night, but you've gotta cut us some slack after this morning's game. A lot of sportsbooks will let you list your pitchers, such that your wager gets cancelled if either of the pitchers changes before the game starts. But, unfortunately, there aren't any sportsbooks who will cancel your bet after your starter gets injured in the 2nd inning, which is what happened to Gabbard this morning, right after we raved about his performance so far this season. Of course, a couple of innings later, his lame replacements give up 8 innings in the 4th and 5th, and that was the end of that. Harsh, but we'll take that bet every single time. Just one baseball play that we could agree on for Monday night:

Cardinals +102 (Matchbook), 100 to win 102

Wainwright pitching much, much better than Villanueva. Brewers hitting only .197 against RHP in their last 10 games. We'll take the underdog.
