Which makes the D'Backs look even more enticing tomorrow..

I mean what time do you think the plane is going to land in Arizona tonight? By the time they get snuggled into their hotel rooms its going to be extremely late..


Give me the D'Backs and Haren who have been at home..

I tend to agree, but I have to think AZ will be a very big fave. I'm a big Haren fan, but it's getting to the point where everytime he pitches he's a huge fave and that scares the shite out of me considering how bad AZ is offensively.

Haren's last 3 starts were 5 ER in 7 innings 3 ER in 7 innings 3 ER in 6 innings.... not the best as of late

One other thing... a flight from SF to Phoenix is roughly 2 hours (made the flight myself a few times). By the time the Braves shower, eat, get dressed, get to the airport and get on the plane, it will probably be close to midnight. I'm guessing it will be close to 3 AM by the time they are actually in their hotel rooms. So I can certainly see your logic...

Wow. I hadn't even checked the lines. The last few times he's pitched it seems like he's been -160 or higher. Yeah, -121 or -125 isn't a bad price at all. I'm thinking the under might be a good play too with Lowe on the hill.

No breaks since 5/14

It all sounds great until you realize you are betting a terrible offensive team vs a pretty good pitcher.

I don't post plays. In case you didn't realize not every poster is required to post plays.

I understand Arizona's funky offense and that is of course the price to pay.. but the D'Backs offense has picked it up a bit lately..

ATLANTA and ARIZONA pretty much average the same amount of runs per game.. I dont think ATLANTA is anything special.

Under seems like the best play but I never win a under bet.

lets see...atlanta played yesterday....one player [the pitcher] may be tired but he wont play today...the other players had to do what??? WALK from to the plate a few times...swing a bat a few times...maybe run to first twice on a good night....chase a ball or 2 per inning then take a rest after each time in the field...how tired do you get???? its baseball...this late plane thing just seem to have that much of a effect

I dont see the travel being a factor here. It's a very short flight and they will be gaining an hour in the time zone difference from pacific to mountain.

Last Sunday evening they had to fly from Atlanta to S.F. to play a day game on Monday ... that was a legit jet-lag theory , but they should be ok here.

.... having said that : i do like arizona in the game though.

Oh , i forgot to mention this. If they are getting weary from not having an off day in a while i think it could show up Saturday when they play a 2:10 (local time) start after the night game friday.

Saturday is the time to catch the braves sleep walking. :think2:
