Sunday Dogs

A little step in the right direction yesterday, we'll take it. Three for today, all lines from Matchbook (I think they're going to have to start paying us for all of these plugs):

Pirates +202, 1 unit to win 2.02 units

I've been saying it for days, the Phillies can't hit the ball recently. It's like the whole lineup is slumping at the same time. We're not buying that Moyer is going to have a sustained resurgence all of a sudden at 63 years old. Oh, and it's +202.

Yankees +114, 1 unit to win 1.14 units

We're always on alert for an opportunity to fade Saunders and his .246 BABIP, and feel a little lucky to be getting the chance to do so by backing a team that can hit. A little too lucky? We'll see.

Cardinals +133, 1 unit to win 1.33 units

Those lovable wagerline kids and their Cubs obsession. Carpenter has looked pretty good since his return from the DL, although obviously we're working with a small sample size here. His strikeout rate isn't where it used to be so far, but the way the Cards have been hitting (pounded the hell out of my fantasy team member, Zambrano, yesterday), we feel pretty good about fading the public and their favorite son, Dempster.
