Thursday

Light schedule today in MLB.  2-2 yesterday which was close to the expected outcome with three one-run games and a bullpen blowup by the Padres turning a close game into a rout.  Not much available today.  Cubs/Phillies over 9 is close and I have it in the picks contest but not as a play.  Rockies/Mets Over 7.5 is another close one but the lineups for both sides are too poor despite every other variable showing as an over.  The only actual play if it happens today will be the Cardinals hosting the Dodgers.  Carlos Martinez is called up to make the start today against Ryu after Shelby Miller had to leave in the first inning and Jake Westbrook was shelled in a long relief outing yesterday.

6-5 +1.04 for August, 57-47-1 +14.69 season
