Strasburg should not be favored over Hudson
Books giving way too much respect to the kid here. Yea he's talented as hell but he's on a pitch count and Hudson is a damn good pitcher himself. Nats also might be overvalued because they're coming off a sweep of a Phillies team that didn't care and was playing half of their backups.
I know Atlanta has been struggling but we're getting a good number here with Hudson.
they werent playing half their backups...rollins, victorino, utley, ibanez, pence (before he got hurt) ruiz, polanco were all playing. howard is out with injury.
ps strasburg is the chosen one. tread lightly.
Stras is very good, but Hudson is Hudson.
If you're going to play WAS, close your eyes and hope the FF hits somehow. Otherwise, I'd take Atlanta.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the Yanks at +136, t-wizz. I think they'd like nothing more than to chop Boston's head off in this series.
Braves are playing for a lot more let alone the better team. Might have to reload up for this...
I have my line calculated at Nats -135.
Nats playing great baseball, busting a lot of peoples balls that are fading them. 8-2 L10. Not exactly fade material...
Braves will beat this kiddo tonight.
this game will be decided by the bullpens ... doubt either pitcher gets hit hard and i doubt either pitcher pitches into the 7th inning
Hard to bet against Stras..he rarely gives up runs
Atl slumping
maybe atl 2h if your book offers it. betislands does
This is a combo deal...
Nats playing good baseball.
And
Braves scuffling down the stretch.
And
Nats always play the Braves tough.
I would not take ATL
Braves are treating this series as the first round of playoffs. They are in Washington to sweep and take care of business.
