San Francisco +1.35 over ATLANTA
Once again, the Braves could do little against a Giants' starter, as Jonathan Sanchez held them down for 7.1 innings in Game 3. The Braves managed only two hits and a walk against Sanchez. The one earned run the Braves scored off him occurred after he was replaced in the 8th inning by Sergio Romo, who gave up a two-run homer to Eric Hinske. The Braves continue to have trouble making contact, with 12 strikeouts in Game 3. The Braves now have 37 strikeouts and only three walks in 29 innings in the series. Only Brian McCann (.872 OPS) has hit consistently in the series, while Brooks Conrad (.200 OPS), Jason Heyward (.000 OPS in 12 PA), and Matt Diaz (.000 OPS in 7 PA) have all struggled. Heyward has looked like a rookie in the series so far, with seven strikeouts in 12 plate appearances. None of the Braves have ever faced Madison Bumgarner and that can’t be good for a squad seeing BB’s. Baumgarner held his own as a rookie and he had stretches in which he was terrific. He was brilliant in is last five starts with an xERA of 3.22 while walking just four batters and striking out 32. And who could forget that masterpiece he threw at Wrigley on Sept 23 when the wind was ripping out to center and all he did was go seven complete and not allow a run while Cubs pitching allowed 19 hits and 13 runs. The Giants, meanwhile, have been facing Derek Lowe forever. They saw him in game one and now Lowe is being asked to pitch on three days rest. He may or may not succeed but in no way would we recommend laying juice with the Braves, especially when their hearts were ripped out yesterday. Thanks for coming out Atlanta. Play: San Francisco +1.35 (Risking units).

I like this play, Madison Bumgarner had a 1.91 ERA in ten road starts and I think this kid will shine in this game.

Perhaps he will shine Wager but something I learned a long time ago is to take the words "I think" and "I feel" out of every thought you have when wagering on sports. Best of luck!!

Saw him pitch in person this year and there is a reason he is on the playoff roster and Zito is not.

Thanks, you are right, I'll keep that in mind!

Bumgarner didn't fail me yesterday!
