Big Al’s Free Pick Of The Day – Cardinals vs. Astros

Big Al’s Free Pick Of The Day – Cardinals vs. Astros

St Louis Cardinals vs. Houston Astros (MLB) – Aug 30, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
Play: Money Line: -125 St Louis Cardinals Pick Title: BIG AL’s FREE SATURDAY SPORTS WINNER.

At 7:05pm our complimentary selection is on the St. Louis Cardinals over the Houston Astros. Veteran righthanded starter Braden Looper is a bit of a hard luck pitcher. Despite an excellent ERA of 3.94, and playing for a team that wins about 55% of the time, Looper has only won 12 of his 27 starts this season. Looper has had six quality starts in a row, but only three wins to show for it. Looper gets most of his wins on the road, where he is 7-3 with a 3.66 ERA this season, including a win against this Houston team in his second start of the year. Houston’s Brian Moehler has pitched well enough this year (9-5 with a 3.99 ERA in 20 starts) that the Astros decided to offer him a contract extension through the 2009 season. Despite his team showing faith in him in this way, Moehler has been less-than-spectacular lately, only throwing 5 1/3 innings in each of his last three starts while compiling a 1-1 record and 5.06 ERA along with a 1.62 WHIP. The Cards have dominated their division rivals this season, and even with their 3-2 loss on Friday, St. Louis is 10-5 in its last 15 games against the ‘Stros. Take the Cards. As always, good luck…Al McMordie.

Al McMordie has had a College Football game on this opening weekend CIRCLED FOR MONTHS, and it goes on Saturday. It’s Big Al’s #1 College Football Game of the Month, and it’s backed by 2 strong angles. If you need 1 BIG PLAY to make your Saturday, this MONSTER WINNER is it. Get on it.

Daily Sports Roundup – August 13th

Daily Sports Roundup: August 13

With outfielder Adam Dunn now on the roster the Diamondbacks will be looking to pull away from the rival Dodgers in the NL West race. Here’s your Daily Sports Roundup . . .

Event of the day . . .

Dunn and the Diamondbacks will continue their series in Colorado against the Rockies on Wednesday night. Arizona countered the Dodgers’ acquisition of Manny Ramirez by dealing for the slugging Reds outfielder on Monday afternoon, in exchange for minor league pitcher Dallas Buck and a pair of players to be named later. Dunn has had trouble with his batting average this year, but he’s still able to blast home runs.

And Doug Davis (4-7, 4.75 ERA) will be looking to Dunn to provide him some offense on Wednesday night, as he takes the mound for Arizona. The lefthander has been terrible in each of his last two outings, giving up a combined 12 earned runs on 15 hits in just six innings of work. The Diamondbacks are 3-7 in Davis’ last 10 trips to the mound.

Jeff Francis (3-8, 5.81 ERA) hasn’t been any better, as the Rockies are 3-7 in his last 10 starts as well. The lefthander was knocked around in his return from the disabled list on August 7, giving up five earned runs on eight hits over 5 1-3 innings versus the light-hitting Nationals. Unless one or both of those starting pitchers show some progress on Wednesday night Dunn and the rest of the hitters could have a field day.

Non-event of the day . . .

Dunn’s old team remains mired in last place in the NL Central standings, and they’ll take on their closest cellar competitor on Wednesday. Cincinnati will send Josh Fogg (2-4, 7.98 ERA) to the mound in that contest, and he’ll be countered by Pittsburgh’s Paul Maholm (7-7, 3.76 ERA). Fogg might not last much longer in the Reds’ rotation, as the team is 0-3 in his last three outings (in which he allowed a healthy 16 runs).
