Jimmy the Moose: Phl-Atl Over Game 2

By: Jimmy the Moose


The Phillies and Braves play two games today in Atlanta following Tuesday's rainout, and Game 2 will go over.

The Phillies have played the over in three of Jon Lieber's past four starts.

Philadelphia's bats have been red hot, especially Ryan Howard's, and he'll look to beat up on Atlanta starting pitcher Tim Hudson who has been hit hard and often this season. Hudson's ERA over his last three starts is 5.12, and the Braves have played the over in his last four starts.

This season, the over is a profitable 18-12 when Hudson takes the mound. The teams have played the over in nine of 15 meetings this season and tonight's second game of a doubleheader, brought about by Tuesday's rainout, will see another game play over the total.

Play: Phl-Atl Over

Hudson has been giving it up lately while the Phillies bats have been poppin. I can see the over cashing.
