Los Angelas Dodgers over 4 runs (-121).

Here are the dodgers lineup's ba/obp/ops against Francis:

Furcal:.294/.412/.706
Jones:.222/.364/.1.030
Garciaparra:.273/.385/.839
Kent:.444/.476/.976
Kemp:.222/.200/.422
Either:.308/.357/.819
Pierre:.450/.476/.976
Loney:.125/.125/.250
Martin:.375/.615/.1.115

So if the dodgers play an outfield of Pierre, Either, Jones you are looking at Loney being the only batter with poor numbers against Francis.

Francis has an ERA of 5.25 on the road this year. Last year his road ERA was 4.25.

1* Braves First Half


ATL: Smoltz (3-1, 0.78 ERA) RIGHT

NYM: Figueroa (1-1, 4.05 ERA) RIGHT


We got Atlanta in a nice position here taking a tough loss yesterday giving up all 4 runs in (1) inning. I think ATL will get off to a quick start, but I could see them slowing down in the end considering the METS bullpen has an amazing 1.88 ERA @ home. On the other side we got the Braves bullpen with an ERA of 4.33 @ AWAY games. I expect Smoltz to have a GREAT first 5 innings and only give up 1 run tops to a Mets team that has been struggling with bats; averaging 3.5 runs per game vs. Atlanta. Even though all of the Mets runs have came within first 5 innings I think tomorrow will be completely different when they face Smoltz. Reasoning: The Mets are a horrid 3-9 vs. Righties this season. Oh and not to mention the Braves are an excellent 7-4 vs. Righties. Smoltz is also 2-0 playing AWAY DAY GAMES this season. On April 6th vs. the Mets they got a 3-1 WIN vs. Santana; Smoltz gave up only 2 hits that game and 0 runs. We all know Santana is a better pitcher then Figueroa and if Smoltz can take down Santana in the first 5 then he sure as hell can take down Figueroa. Atlanta managed to get 7 hits off Santana but only 1 run; I dont see that happening again I see them making their hits count in this one.

First Half Prediction:

ATL: 3 - NYM: 1


------------------------------------------


1* Cubs (-130)


CHC: Lilly (1-3, 7.30 ERA) LEFT

WAS: Lannan (1-2, 3.42 ERA) LEFT



Like I said In my eyes I do not see the cubs losing this series. So what am I going to do? I am going to ride them all the way to the bank tomorrow. The Cubs are coming off a huge blowout win vs. Washington winning 7-0; so its safe to say they have the momentum on their side. We have a pair of Lefties in this game which favors Chicago no matter what Lillys ERA is. The Cubs come into this game going 6-2 vs. Lefties this season. The Cubs average 6 runs per game while we have the Nationals Bullpen with a 5.06 ERA @ HOME. So that just shows me the bats are going to be clicking LATE in the game if not early for the Cubs. Washington only averages 3.88 runs per game and I expect them to get about 4 or so tomorrow considering Lilly is starting, but I expect Chicago to have another blowup game, cause like I said the Cubs are RED HOT vs. Lefties this year and they will not lose this series.



Prediction:


CHC: 6 - WAS: 4

liked the dodgers and over tonight , my pick for rocks to avoid sweep is more or less gut and I think Loaiza should give up at least 4 runs ...
nice writeups .
