MLB for 9/28

I gotta be honest, at this point in the season, I wouldn't consider ANY game a lock. Its too hard to decide who is trying, who isn't trying, who needs the win, who is going to collapse, etc. So I can't honestly say there are any locks tonight. Except these three games. Get out a pen and write these down.

1) Phillies at Braves -1.5

I know the Braves have been sucking more cock than Kim Kardashian at a rap concert, but Lowe ain't pitching tonight. Lowe has something against me and has lost 5 straight games just so that he can see the Lock City Sports empire crumble. Fortunately, our good buddy Tim Hudson has the ball tonight for Atlanta and has a 2.39 era at home. Even more appealing, he doesn't have to go up against Lee or Halladay, but rather Joe "Shmo" Blanton. Braves should be able to rip at least 5 or 6 off that joke, and I fully expect Hudson to give up 1 maybe 2 runs tonight in a must-win game in front of the home crowd. Hate giving runs to the Phils, but giving a run and a half ain't bad considering the pitching matchup tonight.

Braves -1.5

2) Cardinals -1.5 at Houston

Just like Atlanta, it doesn't really look like St. Louis wants this wildcard either. Fell behind the 56-104 Astros 5-0 in the 4th inning, luckily won the game, but just didn't look sharp. But they have their ace on the mound tonight too, Chris Carpenter. Gotta expect him to come out there and get the job done. He's going against Brett Myers who has won his last 4 starts, but I don't find him nearly as threatening as his wife does. #wifebeater

Get a load of this fucking wiener. Clever sign though. Go Cards

Cardinals -1.5

3) Boston -1.5 at Baltimore

Quite frankly I am going to bet against Boston until they prove me wrong. Last night they may have won but sure as shit didn't cover, thanks to their shaky bullpen. Love how the O's are playing these days--loose and alive--and they should be able to cover this spread, perhaps even win. I know Lester is Boston's ace but the last time he acted like an ace I'm pretty sure the NFL lockout was still taking place. (Did that rhyme?)  He's also going on 3 days rest which won't be in his favor tonight. Do I feel good about this game? Eh..not really. I feel motherfucking great. Lock this up and lets make the Red Sox collapse that much sweeter.

And then we go ham

Orioles +1.5
