Atlanta -135......too good to be true? Im in.
Atlanta has been shutout 5 times this year.The results of the following games:
5-0 ....avg score 5.1 to 3.2. 13-3 L3Y after being shutout.
Then youve got Smoltz coming off a tough loss vs Pedro on the road.Its no secret Smoltz has been better at home,which is pretty much the same story as the Braves as a team.Smoltz is 7-3 at home (2.83 era) and the team is 12-4 in those starts.In 117 ip at home Smoltz has surrendered only 4 HRs.The Braves have not seemed to hit well lately but those games were all on the road,now theyre at home where once again IMO they perform better.Marlins have struggled just as much lately with the bats but their road trip continues.Beckett has had tremendous success vs the Braves this year but none of those great starts were away ,where Beckett has had problems.His road record is 5-6 (4.69 era) and the teams record in these starts is only 5-9.Braves are 49-26 at home and 43-24 after a any loss this year.As unreliable as the Braves BP can be sometimes the Marlins have been worse recently ,10+ era over L10 games.I just dont see the Braves dropping this one in this particular spot and a cheap line makes it even nicer.
