PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES(Kendrick) +155 over Washington Nationals(Zimmerman)-- Zimmerman has been good so......I'm not saying the line is wrong----walking 1 every 7inn and being that unhittable;  he's gotta be significantly favored.   But if you consider that Kendrick has been good also,  and you consider the umm, "pressure" on the name:  Washington State bridge collapse.   And with the Phillies having guys like Ben Revere......with a certain someone having,  just yesterday,  spoken truth to the power of extrajudicial mass-murder.........and even the Nationals' Kid Dynamite,  Bryce Harper,  is not a .300 hitter this year.   The Nationals in fact have had some hitting problems(Espinosa .163?  Come on,  he's a 'starter'?).(Lose 5-2)

PITTSBURGH PIRATES(Burnett) -105 over Milwaukee Brewers(Estrada)----Estrada has only done well this year when I've bet against him and Burnett has been extremely reliable but with poor run support.   On an 11-2 run,  the Pirates,  one might think,  would be due for a loss.  But I'll give them a chance here with this pitching match-up.(Lose 2-1..........Same goddamn thing,  Burnett pitches a 3-hitter and gets 1 run)
