    Explain Braves -110
    I hate Lowe more than anyone, but this line should be at least -120/125. Lowe is still an established veteran, Infante is out for Florida, Braves are much better than the Marlins and Hand isn't anything special.

    What are the books seeing in Florida here that makes this a virtual even pick?

    atlanta is the worst against lefties and florida has been swinging a decent bat (cooling off in august tho).

        Marlins bats have a batting average of .262 against the alcoholic. Infante might be out, but there are several guys that have decent numbers.

        Nonetheless Braves are the better team overall and worth a shot as a short fav, but I personally like the Fish. GL!

          the braves do not hit lefties very well and hand although walks way too many batters has won 4 straight and hasn't been giving up many runs. line seems about right here in a divisional game on the road. it was around -120 and has come down a little. if the marlins had something to play for and hadn't lost 4 straight i'd be on them here.

            I know Atlanta is sub-par vs. southpaws and Hand has beaten them once already this year, but I've watched him pitch and he isn't anything special -- at least not to the point where he should be virtually even odds against a good road team 17 games over .500 overall in front of a home crowd of 6,000 (Marlins are 24-36 at home, FWIW).

              Pinny opened at -108/+102.

              I really want to square up on this one reis, but I'll probably just lay off.

                lets face it you might as well chalk Lowe up for 5 to 6 inn and at least 3-4 runs as that has been the case in almost every start he has made in the last 2 months, with braves offense vs lefties and the fact you gotta almost concede 4 to the fish why would this line be higher?

                  Strange odds, that's true. Small play on the Braves for me.
