    none of that matters with chases. i avoided felix but won't avoid young.
    Braves are a solid club and have lost 7 straight. they will win soon and
    i'll keep doubling up until it happens so i cannot lose.

    Idk about that , I like the under for small value , I just think seatle is due to turn it up a notch at home since they played poorly all year there . If I had to pick it be seatle . But haven't decided if I'll put my money on it .

    When a team like the braves sweeps seattle at home the last time they visited.

    I would not chase them.

    BOL.....braves can't seem to get out of there own way....hope they turn around for you.

    Braves play poor defense, Simmons ankle injury won't help them getting better at avoiding costly errors.

    Chasing a team that is on a losing steak isn't the greatest strategy IMO.

    They could lose 3-4 more and then you will be risking like 8 units just to win that original unit back in the end.

    If you think they win today, bet them but I wouldn't just blindly keep betting against a streak.

    What if you had started chasing in game two of this losing streak?

    Where would you be?

    This is a pretty good bet today. I think Teheran @ -120 seems like pretty good value. If anyone busts them out this losing streak I would bet its Teheran.

    Braves are 58-55 and only 3 gms in back of Nationals for NL East.
    After today they go home for 3 vs that Nationals team.
    Matter of fact they are ending road trip today and next 10 games are all at home.

    Chris Young's numbers vs ATL are not that good but he is pitching good at home and he is looking to get win number 10, the last time he had 10 wins was back in 2006 with the Padres. He should have some extra motivation today plus he is at home. Simmons is not in the lineup, he plays good defense for the Braves, Braves will miss his defensive skills today.

    ok Braves have lost 8 consecutive games, the chase continues on its 2nd game here.
    Braves start a long homestand. They haven't won a game since Ervin Santana was
    on the mound and guess who's starting tonight ? yup. Also, Braves have done very
    well against Strasburg this season.

    Braves +103.
