he said indy would win last night on a late manning td 27-23, hope that was his moment when he turns things around and goes on a streak like july when he was up over $4000.
400♦ ATLANTA BRAVES RUN LINE (LIST Jurrjens and Figueroa) - It’s a given the Braves will not win the National League East. But with how competitive things are out West, and the fact the Giants, Rockies and Dodgers could easily beat each other up and create an avenue for Atlanta to cause some issues in the wild-card race, I have to believe this is a great team to watch for value over these final couple of weeks.
Just looking at the following schedules, I’d be optimistic if I were a Brave, knowing I play the Mets twice, the Nationals a total of seven times and the Marlins thrice. Other than the Fish, the Braves could conceivably go 9-0 in the other games. The Giants, who are just ahead of the Braves in the wild-card race, still have a tough three-game set in Arizona, then host the Cubs for four and the Snakes for another three before ending with the Padres. The wild-card leading Rockies have the Padres (who aren’t a slouch in division games) and then have tough assignments with the Cardinals, Brewers and Dodgers. Again, if I were a Brave, I’d be stoked about my chances of climbing the wild-card standings.
It begins with this blowout win over the Mets, led by the pitching prowess of Jair Jurrjens, who has a 1.64 ERA in his last three starts and despite a 12-10 record on the year has a respectable 2.75 ERA for 2009. The right-hander just dominated this same Mets team on Sept. 17, tossing seven innings, scattering six hits, giving up just one earned run and striking out five. He’s 5-1 with a 2.62 ERA in seven career starts versus the Mets, including 3-0 with a 1.69 ERA this season.
The Braves, who have won nine of 11 overall, have won six straight in this NL East clash by an average margin of 8-2.5; this year they hold an 11-5 edge. This one should be just as easy in facing Nelson Figueroa, who is 0-3 his last three times out with a 6.61 ERA. For the season, the Mets’ right-hander is 2-6 with a 5.21 ERA in seven starts and six relief appearances. The team is 1-6 in games he’s started, and 2-11 in all the games he’s appeared.
Lay the run line here, as the Braves are playing for a return to the postseason.
