SportsCapper Bonus Play for Saturday, August 6<SUP>th</SUP> – Atlanta Braves<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

For Saturday take the Braves in St. Louis.
I have absolutely no issues at all to get Tim Hudson at this price against Jason Marquis even if the game is in Busch. There are a bunch of factors for this game. First of all, Marquis has hit the crapper of late. The guy has somewhat lost it and is just not very good right now. Second of all, former Brave pitchers seem to get smacked around when they play Bobby Cox's team. There are many examples of this, but look at Tom Glavine and Kevin Millwood to name a couple. Then you take a look at the St. Louis injuries as they are without Scott Rolen, Larry Walker, Reggie Sanders and Yadier Molina. We may be without Chipper but that pales in comparison.
I am not trying to belittle Tony LaRussa's team because they are still very good right now and can beat anybody. Pujols and Edmonds are good enough to take care of business by themselves but still too many factors in our favor for this Saturday matinee. Hudson is a stud who is coming off of that loss and mediocre performance against the Pirates. He will show his true colors on Saturday in a win.[font=Arial, Helvetica]<o></o>[/font]
