I really like some of the interesting matchups. I'll have more plays later but start with this one again.
Cubs -120 First 5 2 Units
Staying away from the Cubs pen again and I think there is a definite mismatch of pitchers here. Both have been a little sloppy lately but Lilly has been torched 4 times while being pretty stellar all other games. The difference is that he got beat up by 4 teams that can be very solid from the RH side of the plate and 2 of them were games where the wind was blowing out at near or over 20 mph. Blanton on the other hand has given up atleast 3 runs in every start this year. I look for the Cubs to continue their good feelings for atleast one more day against an overvalued Phillies team that is really struggling to score outside of Ryan Howard.
