Season: 35-36 (-7.48)

Back to write ups.

Braves +138 (1x)
Braves Team Total o3 -125 (1x)
Atlanta is in the midst of a four game winning streak after blowing a late lead last night only to have Dan Uggla's grand slam put them back on top. This line has oddly risen from an early opener of +120 all the way to near +140. The Braves are obviously the better team here but will have to oppose Cliff Lee. They have seen a ton of Lee over the last several years and he has built a pedestrian 6-5 record in those starts. But, as the great SBR capper stevenash mentioned before his last start Cliff Lee just seems to be missing something. He has given up 29 hits in 18 innings which is a crazy high number. He still isn't walking anybody and keeping most of those balls in the yard but he seems to have lost something on his pitches. Not much to say about Hale here as this play is more of a fade on Lee but I did watch his first two starts and while they were brief he did show the ability to be successful in the bigs. The Braves are mashing the ball at a rate that has racked up 40 runs in their last six games, none of which they have scored under four runs. Seems like a bad spot for Lee to be putting people on base against against a team with a lot of power

I went 2-0 last night with my Under leans...barely hit both. I have a strong Under play for tonight...just hoping Ventura will be on tonight again to follow up his debut.
Houston Astros (Under 3.5 run total) Houston last year was terrible vs righties and no different this year so far. I see them getting 3 at most tonight. KC's pen is 2nd best in majors.

My 2nd top play is Oakland vs Angels (Under 4.5 -1st 5 innings)
Both starters have been stellar, though both have struggled vs opposition in short past. Hope they put that behind them.
Straily (Oak) in last 10 games has not allowed more than 3 runs...worth a shot maybe.

Cards tonight? What am I missing? I think Milwaukee gets payback here. Miller is bad on the road. Why are you going with Cards? Just curious. You must have a reason. I'm usually on the wrong side anyways in mlb and nhl, so maybe just fade the teams I pick.

I do love Ventura and that under play seems right. I just can't back him yet, I have only seen the kid pitch once. I want to see a little more before I trust him. I also don't mind that first five under. I just really like Oak's matchup here and would rather back the Oak team. I am confident in Straily.

I decided to play the cards here because after backing the Brew last night I realized that the Cards just own this team. Let's be real they are better, Brew were hot but Cards are better. Take a look at Millers numbers last year in four starts vs the Brewers (3 on the road). All were Cardinal wins and were well pitched games. I think runs could be at a premium here and the half run just looks appealing to me in a game that could be 0-0 or 1-1 or 2-2 by the end of 5. Also for as bad as Miller was on the road Estrada was worse at home. Don't think that split means much over the course of one year but still should be noted.

At this rate I'm lucky if I make it to the end of baseball season with any units left. I am just glad this is my smalles sport unit wise. I am gaining confidence the more I watch and should be getting back into the swing of things. If I'm wrong things could get ugly.

Just don't know what to expect from Straily and Richards who have both been shaky vs respective teams.
I will keep an eye on this. Like I said want to see more of the kid. Will be rooting for you from a fantasy baseball stand point though.
