Atlanta
Personally I would go with the under 8 in this game, but if I had to choose I would go with Atlanta. The St. Louis lineup is pretty banged up with a lot of backups playing right now and Walker and Rolen out. Mulder and Smoltz are going to pitch similar games, and pitch well, so it will come down to the offense and, under the circumstances, I think that Atlanta has the advantage there, especially the way Francoeur is swinging the bat.
Good Luck to you and hope this helped out.

Cardinals are looking to make a statement in this series similar to Houston series a couple weekends ago. Throw in fact that after this series, Cardinals play 19 of the next 26 games on the road, I expect the A game for the Cards. These home games will be crucial until they get healthy. Cards win 2 out of 3 but I will be calling for the sweep!
These are the stud starting pitchers Cardinals have beaten this year: Clemens,Pettite,Oswalt,Prior,Hudson,Schmidt,Pedro,Pavano,Beckett,Willis,Lowe,O.Perez, Sheets, Capuano ?,Peavy,etc. Probably leaving a few off and some of these guys have been beaten more than once by Cards. Idea is that Cards don't get intimidated by stud sp anymore. In fact, Card offense has been BETTER THIS YEAR statistically without Rolen,Sanders, and Walker. Mabry,Taguchi,Nunez, and rest of bench have really stepped up when they have started so I would not use starters out as an excuse as many of these bench players start more than most teams and would even without injuries as Larussa plays everyone just like Bobby Cox.

arty:
I turned it as soon as they brought in McBride...I had the under....
Once Cards are up 1-6 they bring in the joke relievers....I knew I had no chance....
Guy gets 0-2 and 1-2 counts and gives up walks or hits....Pitiful bullpen is unfortunately common this year....Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad year for totals late in game when it used to be a "lock"
