Will Snappy Cappy Make LAD Happy

The Los Angeles Dodgers Chris Capuano is 1-2 6.60 ERA this season but is coming off his best outing of the year yielding one run in seven Innings Pitched and will look to lock down an Atlanta Braves lineup that now has Freddie Freeman, Brian McCann, and Jason Heyward all back together after each being on the DL this season. Capuano is 4-1 1.82 ERA in last eight games vs. Atlanta. Medlen is 1-5 3.44 ERA and allowed a season high 3 HR's and 5 BB's in his last outing. The Braves have lost the last five of Medlen's starts with Medlen only receiving 2.72 runs in support. Medlen is 2-0 2.30 ERA vs. LAD however and desperately needs a good outing tonight at Turner Field. Kemp saw his 14 game hitting streak broken last night and is only 3 or 35 in last 10 in Atlanta. Heyward reached base three times and scored twice in last night's game and Atlanta will need a similar performance by Heyward tonight but may run into roadblocks against a tough Capuano in this matchup. Justin Upton belted a grand slam last night and is 5 for 14 with a HR vs. Capuano. Both teams check in with a 4-6 Last 10 but Atlanta does have a 10-5 Home Record. Cappy Capuano has been tough in this matchup in the past and may very well be again tonight even with Freeman, McCann and Heyward healthy and back in the lineup. Big game for Medlen tonight as he tries to get his season turned around but Atlanta will have to find a way to plate a few runs of support for Medlen off Capuano a task that is easier said than done.

Uggla is 4 for 22 with 13 K's vs. Capuano and no Braves starter has gone seven innings pitched since May 9th.

Capuano's overall numbers for the season are poor but his numbers in this matchup are great. I saw him pitch a three hit shut out vs Atlanta when he was a Met against basically this same Braves Lineup with no runner beyond second base. Medlen does not receive many runs of support in his starts and may not get many tonight if Cappy delivers like in the past in this matchup. Today the focus will be LAD +1 -105 looking for Kemp to get back on a hitting streak after his 14 game streak was broken last night and Capuano to have K's. Spliting up the Props with LAD Scores First -125 and LAD/ATL No Score 1st Innings -125 rounds out the evening.

Wow Matt Kemp makes a spectacular catch to rob Jason Heyward of a HR in the first. Check out the high lites for this one.

LAD break though first in the fourth with a 1-0 lead to make it a sweep of the props tonight.

Capuano had a shut out going in the eight and LAD brought in bullpen to try and close it and gave up back to back HR's. Should have let Capuano try to close it out. 3-1 Atlanta in the eight.

I am sickened by this loss. Horrible mistake on the manager to jump the gun and change pitchers so quickly.

I thought I had it pegged right King Of Nicotine. Really bad beat with the LAD Bullpen blowing it. Capuano was heartbroken when the camera focused in on him. Heartbroken just like us.

Yep, he could have finished that game as well. I had this bet on my mind since the morning lines. There were key points where I think LAD could have won it. Biggest was the pitching change for no reason but also that guy stealing 3rd for no reason and getting caught. That one made no sense and even the manager was scolding him.

Get em next time King.
