I like St.Louis , after losing 2 of 3 @ home to the Orioles this is the cubs 9th game on the road, moreover STL is gonna be motivated after losing yesterday to Carlos Zambrano..Lilly has been pretty good, but he's not as good as his record implies..

BOL , we'll see

I thought that STL game would be tight, only 2 bets for me.. CHC -1.5 and TB -1.5 both won for a change! Nice pick with the Twins though, they are shit hot at the moment.

Do you mean CHC +1½ ? cause they lost the game 5-4...

No, sorry I meant the White Sox -1.5, also backed under 6.5 runs in running only to be screwed by a meaningless 9th inning homer from the A's
