Today's Game (Thursday 8/5)

Philadelphia (-130) @ Florida (+110)

In the only game today Roy Oswalt is matched up against Chris Volstad. Oswalt is looking to bounce back after a poor start in his debut with the Phillies. Looking at his numbers it looks like he is mainly getting unlucky. He is giving up a high amount of hits, and that will eventually change because his strikeouts and walks are the same. This tells me that his stuff is still there. Volstad is coming off 2 average starts, but it looks like he got lucky. His ERA over those starts is 4.09, but his WHIP is 1.64. His ERA should be above 5. He is struggling to miss bats and can't seem to find the strike zone. He has walked 6 in his last 11 innings. If he keeps that up he will not last too long against Philly, even with Howard and Victorino out. I like the Phillies with a max bet (5%).

Bet

$39 PHI -130
