Now is the time to hop on.\u00a0
\n<\/span>We have so few losing streaks, but when we do, we ALWAYS follow it up
\nwith a windfall many times over our rare and brief losing streaks.\u00a0 <\/span>Of course our two-day skid is a result of a
\nrare blown save by Trevor Hoffman and an extra inning setback, but nevertheless
\nthe standard punishment to the books commences with four winners tonight and not a chalk among them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get at least the three-day weekend warrior pass. The ENTIRE card<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 <\/span>is just
\n$17 at www.godspicks.com<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 <\/span>Paybacks
\nare hell and the books have a quarter century of proof.\u00a0 <\/span>But there are still plenty of people betting
\nwithout the Center of the Handicapping
\nUniverse<\/a> Godspicks.com\u2019s<\/span> prowess, so the man
\nkeeps paying\u2014and will again. <\/p>\n

We are not generally fans of \u201ctime of year\u201d specific
\nsystems, but we have an exception.\u00a0 <\/span>A lot
\nof systems involving going with pitchers with bad numbers in the second half
\nare consistent with our belief that there are a lot of pitchers out there with
\nhuge upsides (or downsides).\u00a0 <\/span>For a
\npitcher to have bad numbers at this point, yet still stay in the rotation,
\nchances are he\u2019s much better than his numbers.<\/p>\n

Going with road teams whose ERA is 5.20-5.70 in the second
\nhalf of the year is +89.2 units. <\/p>\n

St. Louis<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> is
\n8-2 their last 10.\u00a0 <\/span>LA is 1-7 their last
\neight.\u00a0 <\/span>Suppan<\/span>
\nin fact is off a fine outing to LA, giving up one run in seven innings.\u00a0 <\/span>The upside is there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
