Indian Cowboy 9/24

4 Unit Play. Take Under 9.5 between the LA Dodgers @ Washington Nationals (Friday @ 7pm est). Padilla comes off a shaky effort with his new ballclub his last time out. I expect him to have a better effort today as he looks to rebound from giving up four runs to the Giants at home as the Dodgers went on to lose the game 4-8. I guess it was a bit expected as Padilla had back to back quality starts giving up just 2 runs in San Fran and Arizona and obviously, San Fran had the revenge angle given that they faced Vincente. As Vincete faces Washington who has not really seen him, I expect him to pitch well. Martin is the second best pitcher on the Nationals staff as he is putting together a string of quality starts and given that the Dodgers don't have a great deal of experience against him - and the fact that 75% of the public favors the Dodgers here and the line is about -150, I expect the Nats hurler to have a quality and competitive start today. The Under is 9-3-1 in Dodger's games when the total is set at this mark and the Under is 4-1 in Martin's last five starts as an Underdog.
4 Unit Play. #910. Take Under 8 between the Chicago Cubs @ San Francisco Giants (Friday @ 10:15pm est). Penny had a disappointing effort his last time out for this new ballclub in the Giants. He gave up seven runs in less than 3 innings at LA. Of course, that came off him dominating the Dodgers at home in San Fran as the Giants went on to win that game 7-2. He had only defeated the Padres in the start prior to that 9-4 giving up just two runs in seven innings. I expect Penny to bounce-back today and the Giants to have a strong chance of winning given they are just four games back of the Rockies. Having said that, I can't go against Ryan Dempster who pitched brilliantly in his last start but fell short 1-2 as he picked up a no-decision. It was a shame as he pitched 8 innings of 1 run ball. Rino usually has a non-quality start after two quality starts and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Giants to also take the side here given the playoff implications that exist. But, given the strong reverse movement on the line here as the Giants opened up at -130, it makes me a bit weary of the side. Rather, let's take the under today. The Under is 5-1 when Dempster faces a winning team on the road and the Under is 13-5-1 when the Giants are favored by this margin at home.
