Eric Milton has lost 5 straght starts after starting the year half decent, he seems to be back to his 2005 form (getting lit up) Milton L5 starts 28 IP , 21 ER, and lost all 5....on top of that the Reds have lost 6 straight.
The Braves appear to be playing better ball, Horacio Ramirez has pitched vry well his past 3 starts, 22IP, 4 ER, hoping Ramirez can go deep into the game again, both these bullpens are bad, Ramirez has a much better chance of going deep into the game, his last two outing he went 8 IP in both, he is 2-1 in ATL with a 2.12 ERA....Milton is usually gone after 6 IP on a good day.
Starting edge ATL
Hotter team ATL
Atl runs last five games - 10, 6 3,14,8 = 41
Reds runs last five games-3, 7, 2, 5, 7 = 24
Atl -137 548/400
