Posting early for Thursday.
3.5* Atlanta + 115
How can I pick against the hottest team in MLB you say? Well here's how:
Houston is hitting .220 vs leftys. Oswalt is 1-3 vs Atl since 2001 and 11-7 on the road. Houston is 8-2 with Osy on the mound the last 10.
Hampton has been Santana like, with the team going 13-1 his last 14 starts. He started 2-8 this season, when a decision was involved. He ended the year 13-9. The team was 18-11 overall when he pitched and he is 3-0 his l3 with a .057 era. Even Santana can't match that number. Atlanta is 10-5 at h, when he pitches and he is 4-1 vs Hous.
In the other game, I think St L wins as they are as hot as any team in baseball. After all, St L is 54-28 @h and LA is only 44-38 on the road. St L is 4-1 @ h vs LA ty but the team is a meager 3-7 with Marquis on the hill and just 9-9 with him at h and 8-11 at night. St L is 26-8 in gm 2 of a series after a win.
As for Weaver, imo he had a career yr going 13-12 so we have to be careful. He is 1-2 l3, team is 11-7 with him and he has lost 3 of his last 4 starts. His era is 6.75 in his last 3 starts. The over is 4-1 his l5. LA is 7-3 over last 10 and the series is 11-3 over last 14. The result is this is my NLDS Total Play of the year on OVER 9.5 even money for 7*'s.
GL everyone!
