[MidgetTossers]

again i like this pick and im gonna wait as the line is still dropping...strasburg will have to win 1 or 2 to nothin and i dont see it...good luck nocoin

A) Hudson's never been a high-K pitcher. 37 BB in 99 IP is high for him, and yes, he's due for a correction. But he's the best the Braves have, and their lineup is more than good enough to back him up.

B) The Nats' bullpen is not as good as Atlanta's. The Braves' pen is 16-7 with a 3.39 ERA; Washington's is 14-19 with a 3.51 ERA. Wagner's much better than Capps (speaking of due for a correction).

Atlanta is 26-8 at home. Washington is 13-27 on the road. I'm not saying Hudson's better than Strasburg, necessarily, but in this spot, I like the play. If Atlanta were in the -150/160 range, I'd pass.

i never look at "wins and losses" when evaluating pitching. a 3.39 era vs a 3.51 era is pretty much a wash as far a a bullpen edge imo...

Hudson is tough this year, just has the feel of his year, Braves scratch out a run or two and win this one.

[Otters27]

The braves all the way is the play. If Strasburg does win you will just have to tip your cap. Remember he still won't go that deep into the game.

Leaning Nats FF +1/2 -150

Nats blew three large leads in their last series. I would not trust their bullpen or the under at all at this point.

[DIRTYDIRTY]

braves are the most patient team at the plate right now and at home ill take em fosho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LolsMcwinsey]

Braves and under

[Regul8er]

My book now has ATl at -107. Does the public love Strasburg this much after only 4 starts?? Remember he lost at -275 at home last week to the Royals. Granted Strasburg pitched great, he does pitch for the Nationals whose bullpen has struggled immensely lately.

[greenshark11]

braves will win 3-1 i think tonight. strasburg will give up one run but then he will get takin out and the bullpen will give the game up

[landers781]

Call me a square, but i will fade this thread

Love the Braves in this spot. Hudson has been dominant all year. I like any situation where you can get a team with these low odds that is the better team, who is at home, and the team who has the veteran starter. Hammering the Bravos tonight.

[landers781]

Anyway, Im not gonna bet against the kid because hes going to face a good lineup. I seen his stuff and he can baffle even the braves. Nats for me

[jdiddy]

Nats 5 inning +1/2 -150 is the best play here. All the Nats have to due it score 1 and this is a very safe play.

[apom12]

NATS have scored ONE run in Stras' last 2 starts..... The kid is gonna get no help again against one one of the best home teams in baseball. ATL should pull this one off

not sure where the 3.51 era is coming in. you may be factoring in relievers that are no longer on the big league team.

the era for the current roster of guys in the washington pen is 3.03, so edge goes to the nats in this department.

they have been struggling lately but poor defensive play has in large part contributed to that.

[cala56]

it was a great play for me. lets go braves

[JMUplayer]

I liked in the top of the 7th with a runner on 3rd and one out the nationals guy swung at a ball a foot outside.....

[HedgeHog]

Good call on Atlanta.

[Regul8er]

Twas ez money last night!! Congrats to all who cashed in.

[Betting Guru]

Stephen pitched a great game last night going 6 strong innings and giving up 3 runs in the bottom of the 7th.

Most of the posts in here were dead-on. Good job, everybody!

[cadillac pete]

Nats need to give this kid better run support....
