5 STAR PICK = TEXAS RANGERS RL-1.5

1 UNIT = St Louis Cardinals @ Atlanta Braves - UNDER 6.5 (+115)
Listed Pitchers: Lohse vs Medlen
(Note: I'm risking 1.00 unit to win 1.15 units)

The Cardinals enter the Wild Card game as the road team with their 88-74 record overall, while the Braves get to host the game as they finished the season with a solid 94-68 record. The Cardinals were 38-43 on the road, while the Braves were 48-33 at home this year. Take note that the Cardinals enter Friday's game after scoring just 6 runs in their 3 game series against Cincinnati at home. The UNDER is 3-0 in their last 3 and 6-3 in their last 9 games. The Braves dropped 2 of 3 in Pittsburgh as they had the Wild Card spot locked up, but they did manage just 6 runs over those 3 games and haven't been scoring many runs over their last 25 games or so. The UNDER is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall. St Louis sends Kyle Lohse to the mound who is a stellar 16-3 on the year with a 2.86 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and .239 opponents batting average. Kris Medlen will get the start for Atlanta after going 10-1 with a microscopic 1.57 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and .208 opponents batting average. Atlanta is 25-1 in Medlen's last 26 starts overall. Note that the UNDER is 15-6 in Lohse's last 21 starts overall and the UNDER is 6-2 in the Cardinals last 8 road games. The UNDER is 41-17-2 in the Braves last 60 games overall, and 23-5-1 in their last 29 home games. The UNDER is also 6-2-1 in Medlen's last 9 starts overall, and 5-1-1 in his last 7 home starts. This is a low total, but again this is the postseason and with it being a one game elimination the managers are going to have a tight leash on both starters. Both pitchers have held opponents to under a .240 batting average over the season, and they are two of the top NL starting pitchers. Neither team is really hot with the bats lately and I expect runs to be hard to come by. Take the UNDER.

TOP PLAY

3 UNIT PLAY

Texas/ Baltimore Under 9: Joe Saunders has pitched very well since joining the the Orioles, posting a 2.75 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP in his last 6 starts for them. On the road he has a 1.77 ERA in 4 starts as an Oriole and his road starts have averaged a mere 4.33 rpg. He does have a 6.43 ERA in his career vs Texas but has faced them just once in last 3 years and in that game he allowed just 1 ER in 7 innings of work. Yu Darvish gets the call for the Rangers tonight and he has the advantage of the Orioles having never seen him. He has also been pitching well, allowing 3 ER's or less in each of his last 8 starts, while in his last 4 starts he has a 1.51 ERA in his last 4 starts. This is just a 1 game playoff and that may have both teams offenses a bit tight. I feel the pitchers have the advantage here and that will keep the scoring down.

3 UNIT PLAYS

Pittsburgh/ Syracuse Under 58: Wow. I really don't see nearly 60 points in this game. This is the Big East for crying out loud. Yes the Cuse use the no huddle offense but in their last 2 weeks they have really struggling, putting up just 28 points in the game vs FCS foe Stony Brook and then in their next game vs Minnesota they could muster just 10 points. The Defense for the Panthers is coming around as they have allowed just 27 points in their last 2 games and with teh extra prep time will find a way to keep this Cuse no-huddle attack under wraps. Pittsburgh is not a take chances kind of offense and they will not look to get into a shootout in this one. The Panthers do run the ball (40 per game) more than they throw it (30 per game) and that kind of ball control will help them eat clock and keep the Syracuse offense off the field. They will also be facing a Syracuse defense that has allowed just 17 ppg in their last 2 games. This game should be a hard fought typical Big East game and not a Big 12 shootout and that should keep the game in the 40's and not the 50's.

While the BYU offense has struggled at times they were able to build quite a bit of confidence and momentum last week against a weaker Hawaii defense putting up 540 yards of offense, 396 of them on the ground. While I don’t see BYU putting up those same numbers again this week I think their balanced attack, around 200 yards a game both rushing and passing will be enough to put some points on the board against an average Utah State defense. And it won’t take many points because the Aggies offense will struggle mightily against a BYU team that quietly boasts one of the best defenses in the country allowing only 10 points a game. I look for a lower scoring game all the way around but look for the BYU offense to be more productive than the Aggies and put a double digit win at home.

OC Dooley:
“2 UNIT” NATIONAL LEAGUE WILDCARD TOTAL (Cardinals at Braves OVER 6’ in a 5:07 eastern start televised on TBS------Lohse versus Medlen): It is easy to see why the oddmakers have cast such a low total for this late afternoon “one and done” Wildcard postseason affair as we have a battle between staff aces. Due to injuries that have derailed the combination of Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright, the role of staff ace in St. Louis this campaign fell on the shoulders of Kyle Lohse who for the most part lived up to his lofty billing. But one of the few true “clunkers” that Lohse had this campaign just happened to occur IN Atlanta where he was the wrong end of a very high scoring 10-7 slugfest. I am fully aware that the Braves are going with the hottest pitcher in baseball who since the All-Star Break has a sub-ONE ERA, but the fact of the matter is that Kris Medlen has never been asked to perform with this type of pressure. To put this in proper perspective neither Medlen or Lohse has been a “true” number-one staff ace for any significant period of time. My research indicates that for the entire regular season Atlanta was 20-9 OVER the total when facing an excellent National League starting pitcher who had an ERA of below the three-mark. To add icing to the cake this season when facing a National League starter with a 2.70 ERA or better, St. Louis went 12-4 OVER the number
