I'm rather better at baseball than football, though probably still not a winner on standard lines (I'm lucky enough to be able to trade on exchanges, so it's hard to lose)
Anyway, Webb starts for Arizona tonight and although far from being much of a winner, he still puts up consistent numbers.
His last ten starts include two against LA, one against HOU and one against SF and he has only conceded over 4 runs once in that time, giving up 22 runs from 60.2 innings.
He doesn't get through the games much beyond the 6th, which is our worry here.
Meanwhile, St. Louis has a magic number of 4 and have come off a 2-1 series defeat by Houston.
In my opinion they are taking it easy to avoid injury before the pretty much certain playoffs.
Finally, the important information, the price.
Arizona are +280 for this, and although obviously an outside bet, I think that this is the best bet I've seen all week.
Reminder: I am not American.
