I realy want to pick the Marlins in this one...:
Nolasco have been great in his L3 starts with a 3.00 ERA and a 0.95 WHIP, but Hudson havn't been bad either with a 3.48 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. It doesn't looks like the home advantage helps Nolasco as he got a 4.06 ERA, but his WHIP is at only 1.11...
Non of the bats are hot right now, Marlins hitting for a .236 avg with 4.13 R/9 and if the Braves pen brings on a leftie the Marlins are hitting only .190 with 2.02 R/9 (both in their L10).
The Braves are hitting for only .228 avg but got 4.26 R/9.
Hudson have been great against the Marlins posting a 6-2 record with an ERA of 2.84 and a WHIP of 1.237. His team record is 9-3.
Meanwhile, Nolasco havn't been so successful posting a 1-3 record with an ERA of 4.91 and a WHIP of 1.636. His team rcord is 1-5.

My reasons for likeing Marlins in this one:
# Nolascos L3 starts
# Braves road record
# Braves are 0-6 in Hudsons last 6 road starts
# Braves are 2-9 in their last 11 vs. National League East
# Marlins are 5-1 in their last 6 during game 3 of a series
# Marlins are 4-1 in Nolascos last 5 home starts and 7-1 in his last 8 starts
# Marlins are 6-1 in their last 7 games as an underdog
# The Marlins pen have been good lately, posting a 2.50 ERA
# The Braves pen have been struggling lately, posting a 5.40 ERA

Why this might be a risky pick:
# Marlins are 0-4 in Nolascos last 4 starts vs. Braves
# Braves are 8-3 in Hudsons last 11 starts vs. Marlins
# Marlins are 2-8 in their last 10 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game

What's the play in this one??
Should I just stay away??
So far I like the Marlins and the under...

I realy like that pick, but im worried by Nolascos history against the Braves....
Might be on it if Angels or Dodgers win...

this and TB/OAK (no run in first inning) are my locks of the day.

Already on the Marlins at +100, the no first inning bet looks solid too. Here's what i put in my picks thread: The Braves are 16-33 on the road. Hudson and Nolasco both have very similar overall stats this year, but Hudson is only 2-6 with a 4.09 ERA on the road. Nolasco has won 6 of his last 7 starts when the Marlins are underdogs, and 8 of his last 10 overall. The braves are hitting .226 against right handed pitchers.

Pitchers duel so far.

Nolasco dropped a curve in on McCann that was ridiculous.

Anoying that Nolasco "error" on that bunt...
At least I won't loose more than $3 what ever the outcome in this game is as the no run cashed

[AC1318]

atlanta had a chance to blow it open but failed

[Clueless_Norway]

Yah, I know (phew)... But this should be a low scoring game so the mental error by Nolasco might be a big deal in this one.. Early yet tho

5-0 now, but McCann has grounded into 2 double plays already...

[Clueless_Norway]

I know it's early, but what is the chances that the Marlins get 5 runs of Hudson???
Hope im wrong, but I can't see that happend..

I can see them getting 6 runs off there bullpen though!

[ryanXL977]

[The_Kid]

I just hope the OVER cashes. Someone just needs to score!!
