MLB TUESDAY TITAN
ST. LOUIS CARDINALS @ PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES
3 UNITS: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES +120
The St. Louis Cardinals are 8-1 in their last 9 games, and all against righthand pitching, where they stand at 16-5 on the season, but the Cards have not done well vs lefthanders where they are just 2-3, and in their last 3 games vs southpaws, they have managed just 5 total runs. The Cards going back to last season have now lost 5 straight on the road to lefthanders. Phillies have been a super dog at home when posted from +110 to +150 where they are 11-1 in their last 12, and also stand at 22-6 at home with a total from 7-8.5. I'll go with Philadelphia here.

3 Units Chicago Cubs -156
I normally don't like making selections with this high of a favorite. However, it's close enough to my -150 guideline for me to make a play here. The Pirates pitching staff has been horrendous lately. Their bullpen has an ERA of 5.83 this season. Pittsburgh's starter Paul Maholm has pitched very poorly against the Cubs, and Chicago hitter Alfonso Soriano has been extremely hot lately. Cubs starter Ryan Dempster has pitched very well against Pittsburgh, and he has traditionally pitched better on the road than at home anyway. Chicago also dominated Pittsburgh last season both at home and on the road, and the Pirates are coming off of a rough travel spot after just coming back from a long West Coast road trip. Look for Chicago to get the win.
