    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.

    This is a combo deal...

    Nats playing good baseball.
    And
    Braves scuffling down the stretch.
    And
    Nats always play the Braves tough.

    Braves are treating this series as the first round of playoffs. They are in Washington to sweep and take care of business.

    Braves will not sweep the Nats. I am a long time Braves fan and I can tell you they always struggle with Washington, even more so in Washington. The Braves lack the might and emotion to treat this series like a playoff series... I agree they should, but that approach is not in there DNA. Braves would be very lucky to get 2/3 in this series.... but I agree Strasburg is overrated here especially since he most likely will not pitch more than 5 innings tops due to his pitch count and Huddy has been real good against Washington. Hudson is the only bulldog on the team and I expect his best effort tonite.

    I have no strong opinion either way. If the Sox are going to win the series, they need to win tonight with Lester. If I had to pick I'd say Boston wins tonight behind a strong effort from Lester but I don't think i can bet this one.

    Braves TT Over is -116 and Nats TT Under is -116. Hudson pitches a gem tonight.

    Lyon what's up man?

    I hate ATL tonight. They have been tanking, their offense is turrible. and I love the Nats. The nats are very-underated, esp their bullpen in the late innings. Starsburgh hopefully goes 6 or 7 tonight. I see him having one of his better games.

    Very tough strike zone tonight.
    Would say so far 50 percent or so of Starsburghs 'balls' were clear strikes, not even border calls. Just not understanding whats going on, either mlb game day is wrong or the ump has some bad glasses.
