SBG Global Opening Line: Cardinals – 110, Total 9.5 (-115)

The World Champion St. Louis Cardinals have not started off the 2007 season very well losing their first two games at home to the New York Mets.  The Cardinals have done nothing offensively in the two games, scoring only one run in each.  Double plays and mistakes doomed the Cardinals on Tuesday as they lost 4-1 to the Mets. The gambling public at SBG Global is not to sure about the side but have put a lot of money on the under 9.5.

Before the first pitch of last night’s game, members of the Cardinals' 2006 world championship team received their World Series rings.  The rings didn’t do St. Louis very much good as they played poorly again. Orlando Hernandez shut down a suddenly weak St. Louis offense.

The St. Louis Cardinals are a -110 favorite with a total of 9.5 over – 115 at SBG Global.

Kip Wells pitched well for the first five innings for St. Louis but then weakened.  The Cardinals will look to former Met and former reliever Braden Looper to get their first win of the season.  John Maine goes for New York.
