Yankee fan but love atl

[JerseyLove]

I love the Yankees always have and always will. But I never let that get to my head when betting is concerned. I am going with atl tonight. Also a little on Miami as well. Any thoughts?

[Cor_Digga]

Kuroda has been on his game, and ATL had no Chipper. Hudson is coming off a CG shutout against Miami but Yankee bats are too hot to bet against

Im taking Yanks ML -108

[faheemrob]

Got to take Yankee at that price

[JerseyLove]

Everybody sees Yankees at a good price and they go wild. Don't be that guy. Atlanta is the play coming from a lifelong Yankee fan

Playing Yankees -1 1/2 +160 GL

This is yankees all the way, atl pitcher is injured and does poorly at home.

Really? 8-2 in last 10 games is terrible

You're right to be careful betting on your personal favorite teams. But I'm leaning the Bronx Bombers.

Kuroda:
*2.23 era against Atlanta in his 5 starts, although he is 1-4 lifetime
*road era just over 3
*is playing with confidence (always a good thing) 2-1 and 0.68 whip the last three games
*hit on foot by line drive against the Mets; this may be an issue tonight but it was his left foot

Hudson:
*5.92 era in home starts this season
*he threw a complete game shutout his last start on the 5th; this ***might*** be a let-down spot, although he did get seven days rest
*received cortisone injection on bullpen session friday; whenever an injury necessitates a such treatment, I'm leery of backing that player until he proves otherwise

Yankees:
*9-2 in June games and 6-2 in interleague games


Braves:
*14-14 this season at home games and 4-4 interleague games
*2-6 after three or more consecutive losses
*opened as the favorite and the line is now a small dog (there appeared to be interesting steam against them earlier in the day around 1130 eastern)

Ump - Tom Hallion
No real edge for either team from the trends that I see.
*Braves 5-0 with him behind home plate
*home team 6-1 in his last 7 interleague games
*road team 4-1 in his last 5 games behind home plate
*Yankees 4-1 in their last 5 games with him behind home plate

X-factor
*No team enjoys getting swept at home
*If Atlanta's Uggla play tonight, it will mark his 1000th game. He and his team mates may bring something extra special.

Where did you get that from?

[Cor_Digga]

I couldve sworn I read no Chipper in the lineup..Oh well, go yanks!

[thekidfanky]

Delay!

[Frank-King]

Hopefully no rain out

If you're referring to my post, stats can be found at just about any valid site. The injury report is also common knowledge. It's up to the capper to determine what is relevant and what is white noise.

I did not copy and paste from somewhere if that's what you mean. I simply gave information supporting why I'm leaning towards the Yankees. So far, the lean is holding true; a 1-run game in favor of the Yankees.

Shoulda bet on your favorite team.
