Debating on either the Braves or the Over Braves myself. I don't like Penny at all as a pitcher and were it not for injury, he would already be sent back to the Minors. Braves have scored one run in 2 days and are 1 game from a broom sweep. Tommy Hanson could prove alot tomorrow. That being said the Red Sox are the best in baseball, but have a 21-18 road record and have 4 wins in 5 on this road trip.
May be time to lose one.....

With the 4 of 5 road wins, and Braves cold bats, it seems like you are putting too much stock into the "it's due to happen factor"
That's just my opinion. I hope you are right and the Braves win, I am a big fan. Good luck.
At first glance, no capping, I'll take a plus money dog anytime I can get it when the opposing pitcher has an ERA over 10. I think there is a lot of value in the HOME mets, with a DECENT pitcher, against a train wreck in Wang.
Good luck guys.
Don't get too carried away with the Mets either, simply because Mr. Wang is toeing the rubber for the Yankees. Met starter on Sunday, Livan Hernandez, has been absolutely brutal in his last three starts against the Yankees, going 0-3 with an ERA of 6.94 in the process.
Ouch!!!
hno:
I think the stats this season are more relevant than all else, and those seem to point the Mets way. Do I think its the "Best play" for Sunday? No.
Good luck whoever you play, but I wouldn't risk a cent on Chien Mien tomorrow.
Also take into account that Hanson set the first ten batters of his first game down in order with some nasty stuff. It wasn't until a Yunny Escobar ERROR that Hanson lost it. Think he just got shaked when he had to finally pitch from the stretch after 3 innings of not having to.
He's pitched great so far no doubt, and is a favorite of mine. The only thing that scares me are his walks, he hasn't had the best control, but he has been getting away with them. I'm afraid a veteran team like the BoSox might take advantage of those mistakes.
But I real like Hanson, he's a promising prospect and will be around for a while. And like you said "3-0 with a 1.06 ERA" his last three starts. He's definitely doing something right!
