    Early game play

    I just made a play on the ATL/MIL game for now. I am going to go under the total in this game.

    951/952 ATL/MIL UNDER 8.5 (-120)

    I liked the MIL side personally but am concerned about the mediocre lineup put out by Ned Yost today. Not to mention the late money pouring in on ATL. Not sure if it sharp money or degenerate money. Could be a mixture of both but I am going to stay away from MIL.

    I like the Under for several reasons. First, the lineups for both teams. Neither team features a very strong lineup today. In fact only 3 of the 18 batters in the lineup today are over .300 and it is really only 1 if you discount Brian Braun and Willie Harris because they don't have enough at bats. I am concerned about the ATL bullpen after pitching almost 5 innings last night but I suspect Hudson will have a strong outing and same for Bush who is a much better pitcher at home than away. Even though the Brewer bats got going yesterday they are still in a major slump. ATL bats hardly better over the past week or so. As far as intangibles go, the one thing that stands out is the early start for this game. Hopefully players minds are still not adjusted to early WED start time...could be a factor. Look for a very well-pitched ball game from both starters today.

    As always, good luck fellows

    Both teams lineup cards look rather odd to me today. Personally, I do like the Brewers +130 a little bit better than I do this total. However, I like this under 8.5 play double B.

    BOL to you sir

    I hate Derek Turnbow by the way....the guy is such white trash. I wish he would go back to those appalachian mountains or whereever he is from. Why anyone thinks he is good or an all-star quality or closer is beyond me.

    Thanks guys....no big deal. Really if i had the MIL side it would be easier to swallow since that was more uncertain with just a 1 run lead but really there was room for a lot of error in that game before it would go over the total of 8.5....that's what makes it more sick.

    I think I am going to take some time off.....
