Alright, it's Hump Day and I have two quick looks.......
1) St. Louis (-120) at SD Padres
Cards send Carpenter to the mound against the feeble Pads and their ace Matt Latos. Latos has struggled this year, and with the Padres terrible offense and defense that should present a problem again tonight. Carpenter is desperate for a win, but make no doubt about it---he has stunk in 2011. Luckily the Pads are the worst team in baseball and the Cards cannot afford to lose in "America's Finest City". Go with the Cards to win!!
2) Arizona D-Backs (+110) at Colorado Rockies (-130)
The Snakes send their best pitcher in Ian Kennedy (5-1, 3.24 ERA) against the Rockies worst starter, Jason Hammel (3-3, 3.59 ERA). Hammel has been hammered at home this season for a 5.19 ERA and gave up 10 earned runs in his last two home outings. On the flip side, Kennedy has only allowed 5 earned runs all year long while pitching on the road. The Snakes are hot and have won eight of their last ten games. Getting the +110 is nice for this upset bid, go with the Snakes!!
**On another note, I like the Mavs tonight to win but (-7.5) points seems a little high, should be more like 4.5.
