Dale Earnhardt Inducted into NASCAR HoF

The late legendary NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt was among five drivers inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. These drivers mark the first five members of the new state of the art HoF in Charlotte. Other inductees include Bill France Sr and Jr, along with Richard Petty, and Junior Johnson. The brand new facility is located next to Charlotte’s Convention Center and is worth an estimated $195 million.

Dale Earnhardt died on February 18th, 2001 after being involved in a crash in the last lap of the Daytona 500. He had many victories over is prestigious career. His son and fellow driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the first NASCAR race to be run at Daytona following his dad’s death, making for a very emotional win. The induction of Earnhardt into the HoF is no surprise as he was named by ESPN in 200 the number one NASCAR driver of all time.

This weekend marked the NASCAR All-star race from the Charlotte Motor Speedway. This was a fitting time to announce the HoF inductees including Dale Earnhardt. This weekends race winner was Kurt Busch who moved from fifth to first position in less than one lap. Next weekend NASCAR continues to race in Charlotte this time for the Coca-Cola 600.

MLB  |  May 17
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Houston Astros		 Milwaukee Brewers
-141  at  5DIMES		 > 11h.
With a day off on Wednesday in MLB we look to get back on a hot streak as we are still up big on the season. Thursday we have a total of nine pitchers with ERA's under 3.00 over their last three starts combined and a total of five pitchers with ERA's over 6.00 over their last three combined starts. There was one match up that stuck out and we marked them down as our POD.

Mark the Brewers Down! ( -140 2.5* FREE PLAY )
For whatever reason Shaun Marcum has loved to pitch on the road as he has an ERA of 3.20 over the last three years on the road. That's much better than his home record and he's back at it again with a 2.77 ERA this year. He's been great of late posting a 1.80 ERA, but the Brewers lost 2 of 3. He should be motivated to keep that up so he can get a W and the Astros are the team to do it against. He's got a 1.80 ERA over 3 starts vs. the Astros who carry just a .637 OPS in 73 AB vs. Marcum. A few weeks ago I'd be on the Astros, but they are starting to come back to earth as they are now 24th with a .686 OPS vs. RHP while the Brewers are 8th with a .737 OPS vs. LHP.

The Brewers are 8th and they face J.A. Happ who they have dominated. Happ and the Astros are 10-30 in their last 40 with Happ on the mound. He's really not the player they thought he'd be when they traded Roy Oswalt for him. Happ has a 5.40 ERA at home right now and the Brewers have a 1.139 OPS over 80 AB in their careers vs. Happ who carries a 6.08 ERA over the last three years vs. the Brewers. Brewers are 18-7 in their last 25 after Wednesday's loss to the Astros and are 47-17 in their last 64 vs. a losing team. Mark down the Brewers as a victory for Thursday.

Notable Hot Starters:
R.A. Dickey (2-1, 1.15 WHIP, 2.70 ERA)
Matt Cain (2-1, 0.90 WHIP, 2.14 ERA)
James McDonals (2-1, 1.05 WHIP, 2.05 ERA)
Brandon Beachy (2-1, 0.93 WHIP, 2.33 ERA)
Edinson Volquez (3-0, 1.20 WHIP, 1.47 ERA)
Doug Fister (1-2, 0.90 WHIP, 0.54 ERA)
Brandon McCarthy (3-0, 0.97 WHIP, 1.31 EAR)
Chris Sale (1-2, 1.00 WHIP, 2.84 ERA)

Cold Starter Of The Day:
On Thursday we have an ice cold starter that makes for an interesting match up in Luke Hochevar of the Royals. First of the Royals have been red hot since their cold start and Hochevar needs to get with the program. Against the Orioles he could do just that as he has great numbers vs. them in 96 combined at bats the Orioles have a .198 average and .590 OPS.

Notable Cold Starters:
J.A. Happ (1-2, 1.59 WHIP, 7.16 ERA)
Matt Moore (1-2, 1.86 WHIP, 6.43 ERA)
Matt Harrison (1-2, 1.41 WHIP, 8.27 ERA)
Chris Volstad (0-3, 1.71 WHIP, 7.94 ERA)
