MLB: Thursday's 1:45 p.m. ET play

Play: Philadelphia +1.5 -140 (Buchanan vs. Cooney)

Time: 1:45 p.m. ET

TV: MLBN

Reasoning: The Phillies will be facing Tim Cooney, who will make his major-league debut in place of Adam Wainwright (torn Achilles, out for year). Cooney has yielded five walks in 17.1 IP this season in Pacific Coast League play. Philadelphia is hitting 52 points higher and is scoring 1.22 more rpg vs. LH. David Buchanan will take the hill for the Phillies. He is 1-0 with a 2.13 ERA in two lifetime chances against St. Louis. The Cardinals also have to deal with Ryan Howard, who has three homers in his last five games. I like Chase Utley (.114 BA) to get off the schneid against a rookie hurler.


Record: 350-261-12 (57.3%)
Bankroll: +352.36%
