MLB Playoff Betting – Cards Aim To Stay Alive At Home

MLB playoff betting favored St. Louis before their NLDS series with the Los Angeles Dodgers started, but they find themselves just trying to avoid elimination on Saturday when the host the Dodgers at Busch Stadium.

Dodgers vs Cardinals Odds – Saturday, October 10, 6:07 PM ET

Vicente Padilla (12-6, 4.46) is making the first postseason start of his 11-year career, and in seven career outings against the Cardinals, including three starts, Padilla is 2-1 with a 3.68 ERA. He’s never pitched at the new Busch Stadium, but strangely, Padilla was better away from home this year, going 7-2 in 13 games (12 starts) and a 3.60 ERA with the Dodgers and Texas Rangers. Sportsbook players may think this is a strange hurler to have out there when the Dodgers have Chad Billingsley, who is slated for Game 4 and had a lot of problems in the second half of the year.

Joel Pineiro (15-12, 3.49) should have a better record at home, but he was hurt by some poor run support early in the season. Pineiro is only 7-6 in 15 starts at home despite a 2.87 ERA, but the Cardinals came on later in the season for the 31-year-old. Pineiro is 2-0 in three career outings against the Dodgers with a 3.38 ERA, and he’ll be making his first postseason start since 2001, when he gave up a run on four hits in just two innings with Seattle, but he did manage to strike out five hitters.


Betting services favor
St. Louis at home at -165, and they really should be tied at one in this series, if it wasn’t for an untimely and incredibly uncharacteristic error by Matt Holliday in the ninth inning of Thursday’s 2-1 loss to the Dodgers. Pineiro gives the Cardinals an excellent chance to win, and it’ll also be interesting to see how Padilla fares in his postseason debut. He’s a veteran, but we’ve seen the playoffs eat up more experienced and talented pitchers before. It’ll be close, though, as the Cardinals are only one game better at home than the Dodgers are on the road. Go with the Cardinals in your MLB picks.

La. Tech is below average on offense getting just 4.3 yards per rush against teams normally allowing 4.7 and 6.6 yards per pass to 7.4. They are slightly above average on defense thanks to allowing just 7.6 passing yards per attempt to teams normally getting 8.5.

Nevada is sensational running the ball getting 6.9 yards per rush against teams normally allowing 4.3 and 6.8 yards per play to 5.6.

Though they hold teams to .3 yards per rush below their normal average, Nevada allows 9.3 passing yards per attempt versus teams normally getting just 8.5.

Obama Nobel Prize No Surprise: Will LA Tech vs. Nevada Be an Upset?

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Yankees continue their series against the Twins, the Angels host the Red Sox, and the Stars seek a win up in Calgary.

Barack Obama Nobel Prize not, repeat not a shock

Grandmaster sports handicapper Joe Duffy is the best in the business when it comes to predicting NFL spread and betting line in college football winners. However, he has also established himself as the top political handicapper, accurately predicting most major elections.

Here is what he said yesterday about the Nobel Peace Prize, “The Nobel Prize has become notoriously left-leaning, rarely missing a chance to take a political potshot at George W. Bush. Hence US President Barack Obama would be a reasonable long shot at 14/1.”

Admittedly not a movie fan whatsoever, Duffy has also accurately predicted long shots in the Oscar Awards based on political messages.

Case in point, Duffy CEO of OffshoreInsiders.com is 14-5 the last 19 with four MLB underdogs along the way.


Colliding on the gridiron . . .

The one college football game on tap for Friday night has Louisiana Tech at Nevada, with the Wolf Pack pegged as the 10.5-point home favorite (and the total at 58). Nevada pounded UNLV 63-28 last time out to grab their first win of the season; Mike Ball ran for five touchdowns in that contest. Louisiana Tech beat Hawaii 27-6 in their last game, as Daniel Porter ran for a pair of touchdowns.

As well, there’s a Canadian Football League game on the Friday schedule, with British Columbia at Edmonton. Oddsmakers have given the edge to the Eskimos, pegging them as the 4-point home favorites. The total for the game is 53 points.

Stop the presses. Take the rubber band off the roll of cash. The Great One Steve Vincent has a Level 5 on both the game side and over/under. That’s why it’s the Friday Night PARLAY of the YEAR from the founder of forensic sports handicapping. Bet 8-10 times your normal amount in this living lock.

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

The Yankees will be looking to take a 2-0 lead in their ALDS with the Twins on Friday night when the teams play Game 2 in New York. The Yankees will send A.J. Burnett (13-9, 4.04 ERA) to the mound in that contest. Righthander Burnett beat the Rays in his last start of the regular season, holding them to one earned run over five innings of work. The Twins will counter Burnett with Nick Blackburn (11-11, 4.03 ERA). Minnesota won all of righthander Blackburn‘s last four outings.

Meanwhile, the Red Sox and Angels will play Game 2 of their ALDS later on Friday, with Josh Beckett (17-6, 3.86 ERA) taking on Jered Weaver (16-8, 3.75 ERA). Righthander Beckett finished the regular season with two straight wins over the Indians and Royals, holding them to six earned runs over 11 innings of work. Righthander Weaver snapped a three-game losing streak by beating the A’s in his last outing, holding Oakland scoreless on three hits in his five innings.

Taking a trip around the rink . . .

There are two games on the NHL’s schedule for Friday, with Florida at Carolina and Dallas at Calgary. The Stars have started the campaign at 0-0-2, falling in back-to-back shootouts vs. the Predators and Oilers. Brenden Morrow had two goals for Dallas in their last loss, while rookie Jamie Benn picked up his first NHL point. The Flames are a perfect 3-0-0 through their first three games of the season, collecting consecutive victories over the Canucks, Oilers, and Canadiens.

Tipping off on the hardwood . . .

The WNBA Finals come to a close on Friday, with Indiana at Phoenix in Game 5.

Penny Taylor added 17 points in the victory, while Tamika Catchings led the Indiana attack with 24 points.
