MLB - 959 Arizona Diamondbacks @ 960 St Louis Cardinals
(Starting Pitchers: T. Cahill vs K. Lohse)
***DOUBLE DIME PLAY***
This is the final game of a series that the Cardinals have been dominating and I expect that to happen once again today. The Dbacks have lost all five games against St Louis this season and they have also lost eight of their last even games. They will start Cahill today and he has allowed three homeruns and seven earned runs on his last two outings, in a total of 13 innings. He has a season ERA of 3.84 and a FIP of 4.28, but this month is being his worst month of the season with 5.11 FIP and I don't believe he will be able to bounce back on a very tough game on the road against the Cards' powerful offense.
On the other hand, St Louis will start Lohse and he has been outstanding. On his last outing against the Phillies, he allowed just one run on four hits, with two walks and seven strikeouts. Besides a poor outing in Colorado three outings ago, Lohse has been very impressive and he posted a 2.25 FIP on his last two games. He may have been crushed by the Dbacks last season, but he is pitching a completely different level this season and he has faced Arizona on the road this season, in a game where he comfortably dominated with 1 run allowed on 7 hits in a 5.0 IP outing.
I believe St Louis has an edge on this contest not only in SP, but also on the offense and current form, therefore I'll be taking the Cardinals to win today and sweep the Dbacks on this series. Double Dime Play!
Pick: 4 units (Double Dime Play) on 960 St Louis Cardinals ML (w/ K. Lohse) @ -145 / 1.69 on Betonline
