Travel would seem to point towards the home team, but in reality both of these clubs had rather long trips to get here, and since their game was rained out early and the Padres played late (also du to rain) it is likely that the Cubs were there earlier than the Padres, so actually Chicago in a better travel spot here. Also, Cubbies have gone 11-2 in their last 13 games against losing teams while the Friars are 3-12 in thier last 15 against teams with winning records, and that includes last night's heartbreaking loss. Take the Fuzzies here.

One of the most successful coaches in terms of playing to win in the NFL-X has been Jacksonville's Jack Del Rio. Del Rio has posted a 17-7 mark over the last six preseasons, and has not had a losing year with five of the six seasons finishing at 3-1! This year he has no reason to change that. In fact, his job is on the line this year so if anything, there's more reason for him to put a gloss on things. Tony Sparano lost his opener a year ago then won the next three. But he may have a different agenda this season as he needed to instill a winning culture at Miami in his initial season at the helm. The Dolphins are off an 11-5 season, and this one will be used to do more evaluating than winning. Getting a field goal on a strong preseason coach like Del Rio is a gift. I'll go with Jacksonville here.

Chris Carpenter continues to be exceptional for the Cardinals.He's facing a good challenge tonight pitching against the Dodgers in LA. But Carpenter figures to have lots of run support tonight. St. Louis should have no trouble knocking around Charlie Haeger, whose knuckler hasn't fooled big league hitters in any of his previous trials. A typical Carpenter effort should result in a substantial win for the Redbirds. The Cardinals on the runs line is the choice.

10 Dime -- BRAVES (Hanson) -1 1/2 runs over Diamondbacks (Scherzer)
Atlanta had won five straight before falling 4-1 to Philadelphia on Sunday night, and has been playing extremely well since the All-Star break. While Arizona has been playing good ball lately also, the Braves catch the Diamondbacks at a good time today.
Arizona had to travel to Atlanta from Los Angeles, where they played a weekend series against the Dodgers, and then has to travel to Philadelphia after today's game, which is being played due to a May 17 rainout.
I don't expect the Diamondbacks to be sharp in their one-game layover, especially facing Braves rookie Tommy Hanson (7-2, 3.05 ERA), who has posted a 2.53 ERA in his last 11 starts.
The 22-year-old right-hander allowed one run and seven hits with nine strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings Tuesday against Washington, and is 4-1 in six home starts. He has allowed no more than two earned runs in three of his past four outings.
The Diamondbacks will start Max Scherzer (7-6, 3.94), who bounced back from two poor outings to beat the Mets in his last game Tuesday, allowing two runs and eight hits with eight strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings.
Scherzer is 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA in four games (two starts) against Atlanta. He allowed eight runs and 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings on May 31 in his last outing vs. the Braves.
Atlanta again will be without center fielder and leadoff man Nate McLouth, who is nursing a sore left hamstring, but that shouldn't keep the Braves from jumping all over the Diamondbacks today. Take Atlanta on the run line.
