Looking at Atlanta Braves, and Los Angeles Angels money line.

Weaver @ home, considering division standings, and Angels record as favorite in division (11-5), record L9 vs. left hand pitching (6-3), and the momentum from last nights comeback win. Angels priced to win.... Think Angels get the big series win @ home. List pitchers Weaver/Wilson ....

Pick: LOS ANGELES ANGELS -125

Atlanta braves have their young Ace on the mound who just limited Rockies to 4 hits, 1 run over seven innings just a week and half ago July 5th at home. With Rockies being as inconsistent as they have been, and ATL hot bats, I think they even the series 2-2, and continue their winning play. ATL 7-3 L10 Day games, won 6 of the last 8 games vs. Rockies, and have dominated right hand pitching 40-23. With Chacin control issues, and his record last 7 games (1-5 5.92 ERA), I think ATL takes advantage of him, and Hanson keep Rockies in control. ATL to even series....

Pick: ATLANTA BRAVES -105

do you realize how much that atl writeup would have sounded exactly like that in last nights game? these gms are carbin copies imho, another case of a Bravo ace coming to a uncomfortable ballpark after shutting down a VERY banged up col team not that long ago, facing coincidentally another talented youngster that got touched up in Hotlanta coming home looking for some get back, there is no question chacin has the stuff to limit Braves offense. likes pitching at Coors, and there also no question Tommy boy will be pitching against a much better rox lineup than he saw last time around in a much less appealing place to pitch.
