that's just simple math

please don't take this the wrong way Nasher

Did not take it the wrong way, I like the Braves to light up Niese like they always do.

See the .402 OBA total, that's 40 percent on base percentage.
That's ridiculous, that's almost two base runners an inning 2/5, (two out of five) or 40 percent.
This is not a small sample size, this is 156 at bats I am pulling data from, 172 plate appearances if you throw in 16 walks.
Look at the Freeman line, look at the Heyward line, look at the Justin Upton line, look at the OPS numbers.

No but its been playing small because of the cold weather up there. I watch all their games....ball usually travels well there

Nats if I had to bet it, and I don't, but go easy.

Rox should hammer that Philly cheese steak for a starter tonight I am feeling.

What about Brew Crew, Birds, and Bravos..im already on Nats kinda big

I would not put a human life on the outcome of any sporting event.
Don't bet a dime on a blind tail dude, how about 2 hundy and root for the 8th run

hey nash! i think i have a couple good ones, cards ml (good value), cards/washington under, and brewers ml

i really like the cards under as both pitchers have been dominant the last time they went against each other's clubs - wacha giving up only 1 hit, gonzalez giving up 2 runs. Also the brewcrew has been cold with their bats lately but have been going against great pitchers the past week, this is a great opportunity for them to step it up. As for the cards ml, betting wacha is a system within itself

Nasher

Does that unattractive Under line concern you?

Books are surely making that over line attractive.......

Nash, your thoughts on the Angels-Tigers. Weaver has been bad lately plus the Angels typically struggle against left-handed pitchers. Can Smyly be trusted? Angels did sweep them last year...

Drew can never be trusted, Weaver in a good spot.

I am warming up to the O's all of a sudden

yeah i think the Angels may go on a hot streak after that emotional victory over the A's but i'm scared to bet against the Tigers at home.

I know its sad....rofl

Just some FYI:

(1) The Braves are 10-0 since last season when it's the first game of a series vs a team that has won at least their last two games

(2) When Jon Niese starts the Mets are 1-9 in the last 2 seasons after he had a WHIP of less than one his last start
