Braves-Cards ESPN game

novacats · Aug 10, 2003

Maybe it's just me, but I have trouble passing up the Braves on national TV and a positive money line.

My book had it at +127 this mornng, now it's at +120. I'm gona jump before it gets any lower.

Any thoughts on this game?

I'd be careful with this game. I smell a trap. Woody is a big game pitcher for Stl, and although he has struggled of late, I expect a good outing from him tonight. I like taking the better pitcher and the home team in this matchup.

good luck on whatever you choose to do.

I think that is a good call blue. I will probably be adding that to my plays before game time, just waiting to see if there is any movement with my sharper books.

Woody Williams is a big game pitcher??? LMAO...Tell me one big game this guy has ever been in?...Randy Johnson, John Smoltz, Pettitte, Schilling and Rivera are big game pitchers...Williams is some guy who hasn't been the same ever since he got abused in the All-Star Game. I agree with Nova and I will take the superior team as an underdog with a decent pitcher on the mound. Best of luck.

-Knoxville.

cards averaging 6.9 rpg vs. lefties at home. they may struggle through the order once, but after that they tee off on ramirez. although I tend to ususally take the value, got a hunch about this one. I like st lou.

Knoxville, stil "LMAO"???? When I said big game pitcher, I was refering to when they need him this year (losing streak, injuries etc.) he has stepped up and pitched a big game. Sorry if his 14-5 record doesn't compair to the pitchers you mentioned (or is it better than all of them???)

You say he has been abused since the allstar game. I believe (not checking) he is like 3-2 and the losses only given up 2 or 3 runs. Pitched like a big game pitcher today.

Blue, good call on the under. You talked me into that one. Thanks
