San Diego Padres News and Betting Tips for Wednesday, May 25, 2011
The Padres are 11 games under the .500 mark and are not hitting very well. Nick Hundley is about ready to come off the disabled list. The closer for the Padres has been one of the bright spot with Heath Bell but rumors abound about trading him to a contender. Ryan Ludwick has been hot and cold with the bat and the team struggled when they traded away Adrian Gonzalez. Alex Cintron announced his retirement on Tuesday. Cintron, who signed a minor league contract with the Padres on May 3, was hitting .350 in 60 at-bats for Triple-A Tucson.
St Louis Cardinals News and Betting Tips for Wednesday, May 25, 2011
The Cardinals are nursing some injuries but have found ways to win. Matt Holliday is out until Friday with a quad injury. In spite of this the Cardinals are 10 games over .500 and hold a 3.5 game lead over the Cincinnati Reds. The bullpen has struggled with Ryan Franklin and Miguel Batista having issues getting people out. Mitchell Boggs was sent to the minors to work on stretching out to possibly be a starting pitcher when he returns. Currently the Cardinals are 30-20 on the season and have had a revolving door on the infield. The emergence of Fernando Salas and Eduardo Sanchez decreased Boggs’ role in the bullpen, but he still figures prominently in the Cardinals’ plans. If he doesn’t return to St. Louis as a starter or long reliever, the Cardinals could trade him for organizational depth.
Our Cardinals vs. Padres Pick and Predictions
The Padres have been rather horrible with the bat most of the season. Cameron Maybin was hot for a few days early in the year and a few others but collectively they are in the last 5 in batting average in the majors. Tony LaRussa has a tendency to play all his subs when they are already secured a series win. Look for the Cardinals and Carpenter to continue their winnings ways.
