4 Unit Play. Take Under 8 between the Atlanta Braves @ Washington Nationals (Friday @ 7:05pm). The Braves are only 3.5 games out of the wildcard and ceratinly, they can smell the playoff birth. Of course, Bobby is coming back for one more year because he realizes he has an amzing staff in place for next year. After all, the ol' man has brought this team this far during their golden decade plus and the storm is brewing the right time for this squad. With veterans such as Chipper and players coming of age, but more importantly with a staff that is truly fit to be the best top down in the entire league next year. Hudson, Lowe, Hanson, Vasquez, Kawakami - if you have something better, do tell. Top down, this team is going to have a great staff next year. Vasquez has come out of nowhere and re-energized his career in Atlanta and the national league. Javier is has a 2.91 era for the season, is 14-9 and has given up 2 runs in 23 innings. In fact, his last 3 of 5 starts have been shutouts. Heck, he has notched 222 strikeouts this year on top of that. With the Braves close to the playoffs and the simple fact they are the next team behind the Rockies hunting them down, I expect a quality start from Javier today. In the same token, Lannan pitches at home, comes off a 2-3 loss to the Mets and was roughed up by the Braves in early August for a 1-8 loss. I expect him to bounce-back and seek revenge here. The Under is 4-0 for the Braves following an off day, 5-2 when Vasquez starts as a favorite by this margin and 12-3 when Lannan faces fellow NL East foes.

KANSAS CITY –1.02 over Minnesota (1st 5 innings)
The Twinkies are hot with nine win in its past 10 games but so are the pesky Royals with 12 wins in its last 17 games. The difference here is that the Royals Robinson Tejada has been just sick since being inserted into the starting rotation. In four straight starts against the Tigers twice, the Angels and the White Sox covering 22.1 frames, Tejada has allowing nine hits and two earned runs for an ERA of 0.81. He’s also struck out 24 batters over that same stretch. In short, he’s been the major’s best pitcher over a four-start period. Meanwhile, Carl Pavano has had very little success against the Royals. He’s already faced KC five times this season so they know him well. In those five starts he’s 2-3 with a 6.75 ERA after allowing 38 hits and 23 runs in 30 innings of work. The Royals have collectively hit .310 off Pavano and that’s mostly when they were cold. Now the Royals are very warm and have a huge edge on the hill, thus the five-inning wager. Play: Kansas City in the first five innings –1.02 (Risking 2.04 units to win 2).

Top of the Ticket - Run Line
-1.5 RUNS,LOS ANGELES DODGERS (Garland)-vs- Pittsburgh Pirates (Karstens)
4* #953 L.A. DODGERS Run Line over PITTSBURGH
Both the Dodgers as a team and Jon Garland as an individual are showing signs of gearing up to their ?A? Game as the playoffs approach, and with a 2.5 game over St. Louis for the N.L. home field advantage there is little chance of them taking Pittsburgh lightly. That opens the door for an easy win vs. a floundering team that is no a free fall of historic dimensions, and the Run Line enabales us to take full advantage in a short price range. The Pirates are now on a dismal 3-23 slide in which 19 of the losses have come by two runs or more, and it is not as though Jeffrey Karstens brings anything special to turn that around. If anything tonight?s starter could make things even uglier. Karstens lost his spot in the starting rotation early in the season and has done nothing to earn it back, and his current form out of the bullpen is abysmal ? he has been scored on in eight of his lat 11 appearances, a span in which he sports a 12.32 ERA and 2.41 WHIP. This is hardly the lineup that leads that form to a turnaround, and it means a likely early entrance for the worst middle relief corps in the sport. The Dodgers began kicking things into a higher gear when they scored 22 runs in last weekend?s series vs. the Giants, and added 25 more the last three nights in Washington. The return to form of Rafael Furcal (10-14 in the Washington series) brings a catalyst to the top of the order again, and there is not an easy out to be found, which taxes the kind of pitchers the Pirates have to counter with. Meanwhile Garland has worked to a 3-0/2.33 in a Dodger uniform, including eight shutout innings. vs. the Giants in his last outing, and is in a prime audition spot to make the post-season rotation tonight. He should have little trouble finessing his way through the Pirate lineup, and with Jonathan Broxton only working once in the Washington series, and George Sherrill only throwing 26 pitches in the last four days, the latter stages are in good hands as well.

$200 Take #303 Missouri (-7) over Nevada (9 p.m., Friday, Sept. 25)
This is way too much of a line correction. Missouri has Big 12 talent and speed and they beat Nevada by over 40 points last year. I know that the Tigers lost a lot from that team but as we saw in their blowout of Illinois in the opener, this is still a quality team. Nevada is 0-2 and has gotten rocked in both of those games. They should be getting twice as many points here.
