Here are the reasons.
Nats croak LHP
I'll take the easy way out and just post the LHP spliits

http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/stats/ba...gton-nationals

This is a team that hurts LHP

In the Braves dugout, Upton (the good one) also hurts LHP.
Freeman has no problem either.
Here's my problem, Heyward is God awful against LHP. Hits a buck fitty-five.
Can't touch it.
Gattis murders LHP, hits .396.
Gattis can play OF some, yet Gonzo sits Gattis tonight, lets Laird catch.
Hey Fredi, here's a novel idea, sacrifice some defense, put Gattis in the OF, sit Heywards ass.
Or....
Sit Laird, put Gattis behind the plate.

But I digress, and I'll wrap this up.

Both lefties are good, but hittable, this is not Sale v. Kershaw here.
It's Wood against Gonzalez.


I think this game goes 5-4.
Over 6.5 3*

On paper, the Nats, with the better starter and LHP lineup looks like the side to bet.
But this is Sunday night baseball, I can't stand the Nats, but they are the play numbers wise.
I may play the Nats small, but love the over here.

3-3 after nine is a win.

Good luck fellas.

I look at the big picture as well as bvp

Laird 0-8, yet sits Gattis.
Head scratcher

t/y sir

[No coincidences]

Really don't like Pinnacle offering a +117 on the ATL TT over 3.5 when most books are at -110, nasher. Strange, given Gio's a headcase against the Bravos.

[JMon]

I lean under, but is auto no play on the total. Imo. bol

One can make a case for the under.

Not a slam dunk, on paper my Reds parlay looked good too.
That went belly up

[Chi_archie]

who is the HP ump?

[TonyTall]

phil cuzzi

usually a bigger k-zone

[TonyTall]

this game has in-game bet written all over it

[forthewin]

I look at the big picture as well as bvp

Laird 0-8, yet sits Gattis.
Head scratcher

Gattis is .190 in the last seven days. The Over should still be good with Bonifacio (.403 vs. lefties) leading off in the lineup tonight over B.J.

[BIGDAY]

Nats at +money is obvious play tonight.

[Kermit]

I got a bill on the over tonight myself.

[innovation]

SP were catching z's last night

batters sleepwalking tonight

[AceChampion]

2 runs off kimbrel too much to ask here?

[No coincidences]

In the end, Nats always gon' Nat.

[Emancipator]

22 base runners, but only 4 runs. Play it a 100 times over I'd say you would be in black. Better luck next time.

[KRIT]

2 runs off kimbrel too much to ask here?

Asking a hit or walk off him in an inning is asking too much. Guy is lights out.

[TonyTall]

putting it into play against kimbrel is about all he will allow

[jjgold]

Nashi slow down before you lose all your money before football

I worry about you and your baseball handicapping

You're trying to build a bankroll by forcing bets

We all know nobody can hit in the major leagues anymore

[tokio]

Being at the game live really showed me how bad Braves offense was, no good hitters. Nats lineup today was also shiit.

[BennyBigNuts]

Good call Slick.

Great right up Mr. Nash!! I tend to agree with you. I watched that game and I had the over last night. They left so many men on base it was freaking pathetic.

Good call Slick.

At least I'm not going down on chalky square public plays slick, dime to my dollar little boy.

I know, 22 base runners, can't get me 3 more runs.
Yeesh.
What ya going to do, still plus this year, not a lot, but we are in the black.
