will be tough to take a series from ATL but they are playing well and Chico pitched well his last time out. It may be worth a shot....

I liked atlanta but james inconsistency against wash scared me off not to mention the price -180

Well, it's a tough one. Wash has been winning as a dog, but here they're really going to be stretched. The pen is extended (and nothing too special even when it's not), Chico can be ok, but mostly is vulnerable, James can be shaky but is also often sharp.

James plus Soriano and Gonzales against the Washington lineup is a much better proposition than Chico and a tired Washington pen against the Atl lineup. But still, at this line, I don't think there's a lot of value with either side. If there is any, I think it's probably with Washington.

Not much of a runline better, but I'm expecting about 7-2 here.

I don't know Razz, i don't see a big offensive game from Atl. Chico, he's been scraping by. If he can keep his walks under control, which he has been able to recently (although in this game HP ump Gerry Davis won't be much of a help with that), Atl will have to get their runs one at a time. I definitely don't like the run line here at favorite odds at RFK.

The under is probably a better bet than either side.

Good call on the under Ganch...
