    Default Unlocked Sports 7/29

    Hi Guys...

    We were 0-1 last night as the Braves unfortunately could not hold off the Marlins in the 9th inning. We have a 2 3 unit selections for Wednesday.

    L.A. Dodgers vs St. Louis Cardinals

    Pick: L.A. +102 (3 units)

    The Dodgers are currently riding a season high 3 game losing streak and will be looking to bounce back from yesterday’s 10-0 blowout to the Cards. Clayton Kershaw (8-5, 2.96) gets the nod. He has been red hot going 2-0 with a 1.42 ERA in his last 3 starts. The Dodgers are 7-1 in Kershaw’s last 8 starts and 13-3 in his last 16 starts with 4+ days of rest. The Cards send Joel Pineiro (9-9, 2.95) to the mound who has also been pitching well as of late. However, the Cards are 1-4 in Pineiro’s last 5 home starts and 0-6 in his last 6 when the total is set at 7 to 8.5. Expect the Dodgers to rebound from last night’s poor performance with a big win tonight.

    2) Philadelphia Phillies vs Arizona Diamondbacks

    Pick: Philly -1.5 +100 (3 units)

    The Phillies should win this one easily. There is a huge pitching mismatch. J.A. Happ (7-1, 2.97) takes the mound for the Phillies. He will be facing Yusmeiro Petit (0-5, 7.68). The numbers tell the story in this one. Not only do the Phillies have a solid pitching advantage but they have been red hot offensively as of late, averaging 6.7 runs/game in their past 10 contests. Additionally, the Phillies are 15-3 in their last 18 versus a righty and 22-5 in their last 27 contests as a road favourite. Zona is 1-10 in its last 11 as a home underdog. Lay the points on the Phils.
