Big Al McMordie
Milwaukee Brewers vs. St Louis Cardinals (MLB) - Apr 16, 2008 8:15 PM EDT
Play: Money Line: -130 St Louis Cardinals Pick Title: Big Al's Complimentary Wednesday Winner.

At 8:15pm our complimentary selection is on the St. Louis Cardinals over the Milwaukee Brewers. There's been a recent trend in Major League pitchers who were relievers and then converted to starters for their teams. And that trend is...they're not very successful. Two names that come to mind are the Cards' Braden Looper (4.94 ERA last year in his first season as a starter) and the A's Justin Duchscherer (already on the DL after only one start this year). But St. Louis righthander Adam Wainwright seems to have bucked that trend. Wainwright had a 3.70 ERA last season in 32 starts (his first season as a member of the rotation) and this year, he is continuing that success with a 3.60 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in his first two starts. Wainwright is just entering his prime (26 years old) and he should have no problem continuing this new-found success on the mound. He couldn't have asked for a better matchup tonight against a Milwaukee team that is 2-8 in its last 10 meetings against St. Louis. Furthermore he has a bullpen behind him that is one of the best in the Majors this year. St. Louis is 10-4 overall this year, including 6-1 at home.

Take the Cards.

As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

ON ABSOLUTE FIRE! Al McMordie SWEPT THE BOARD AGAIN on Tuesday, with HUGE WINNERS on the Detroit Pistons and the Chisox/Athletics 'under', and Big Al has been on a TORRID HOT STREAK over the past 10 days! Now, it's the final day of the season, and Big Al's UNLOADING on a VERY STRONG PLAY to cap off another WINNING YEAR. Get on it.
