** Record 11-2**
Not to much going on today that excites me. However i will play one game.
The Atlanta Braves head into Washington for game 1 of a three game set with 5-1 John Smoltz on the mound opposite the Nationals 0-3 Jason Bergmann. Smoltz is pitching very strongly this year, his ERA is 3.25 while Bergmann also has a very nice ERA at 3.07. Although the Nationals have just completed their first series win of the year with a sweep of the Florida Marlins, every advantage points to the Braves and John Smoltz. It is no coincidence that the Braves have already built a 12 game lead in the NL East over the Nationals, as they are better in every aspect of the game. The Braves have an 11-6 record on the road, and are 15-5 while faceing right handed pitching. In contrast the Nats are just 7-10 at home and are only 8-18 against right handers. I dont like laying this much juice, yet this seems like a very safe play so i am going to pull the trigger.
