    ATL (-130) On Mike Minors Debut!

    Put $100 on this last night, got it at -118 and -120 on the overnight lines, up to -130 now, also put $30 on 'em -1.5 +145.

    Basically the Astros are not so great, and Minor's been doing quite well in Gwinnett, which is obviously not the majors, but as a Braves fan I like to read in to that a bit too much. Only thing that scares me a bit is how much we blow dick on the road, but we'll see.

    tough to put money on a pitchers big league debut. even against a shitty team, he could get lit up. good luck.

    Yeah very true, especially seeing how much run support Norris got in his last starts (17 runs I think?0

    Hopefully the bats show up and are there to back up the pitcher tonight.

    Watched Minor at AAA Gwinnett. There is a huge difference between the batter's quality in AAA from the MLB. Don't take these numbers very seriously. To give you an idea McClouth is hitting HR's every other game in AAA where he couldn't hit shit for the Braves.

    I'm kind of leaning Under in this one. I don't expect to many runs from either teams.

    Yeah I said in my OP that as a Braves fan I'm reading in to his AAA numbers a bit more than I should. But at the very least it's encouraging to see McLouth not only hit the long ball, but taking some walks as well and cutting back on the strikeouts a little, especially when Ankiel is striking out every other at-bat.

    Minor can go 5 innings without giving up more than 3 runs. That's all the Braves need from him. When it comes to the pens, the Braves will win it. This looks like a 6-3 Braves win to me.

    I think ATL is the play here also. Houston is struggling again, although a trip home might be what they need. I will sit back and watch this one and root for all you guys who take the Braves.

    Agreed. If he can hang in for five innings it should be no contest. Line seems about right and I'm on it. Cheers

    If by "WEAK", you mean the Braves are leading the NL East by 2 games...then yeah, I guess the Braves are "weak".

    That having been said...the Astros have been playing better of late and its hard to back a rookie in his first major league start on the road. I'll be pulling for the Bravos but sitting this one out.

    Doc,

    When are you going to come in town to watch the Braves? We can watch either the AAA or the Braves team.

    Yeah no doubt, can't say I'm surprised a Philly fan would say something ignorant though...

    I like the Braves but I would not expect them to stray from what they have been doing which is be dominant at home and bad on the road especially coming off the nice series win against SF. Real let down spot for Atlanta here and it has nothing to do with the kid pitching. I am sure Minor will be an outstanding pitcher in the future but the truth is the Braves don't score runs very well and are even worse on the road scoring. Braves can't buy a clutch hit with RISP. Hopefully I am wrong and the Braves take care of business. The Braves really should sweep them but I doubt that happens.

    Absolutely.

    This is the "best" play of the day IMO.

    Good luck.

    at Minor being thrown out at 1st on a would-be two-out RBI single.

    It should be noted that I'm shaking my head while laughing though...

    Now I'm not so much laughing at Minor being out since he hustled and Pence made a good/smart play, but ya gotta laugh at the kid for not understanding the rules and asking the first base coach in Gonzo crossed the plate before Minor was called out
