4 Unit Play. Take the Atlanta Braves -1.5 (+105) over the Florida Marlins (Wednesday @ 7:10pm est). This really is a must win for the Braves and although I'm not a big run line player, this is one that I'm willing to back up some cash up with today. Vasquez has been solid for the Braves all year and he has been their stall worth. In fact, if Bobby had to pick one pitcher that has come through the most for this team, it might indeed be Javier. Javy has given up 3 runs in 32 innings and is 4-0 over his last four starts. His era keeps dipping and now sits at 2.83. He last faced the Marlins on on August 21st and lost 3-5 here in Atlanta for one of his "shakiest" starts of the year. Javier gave up five runs in just under 7 innings in that contest - and considering he has given up 3 runs in his last 32 innings, just shows you the difference from that start compared to how Javy has been pitching of late. Although Nolasco comes off a loss, the Marlins come off a big 4-5 win yesterday. On top of that, Nolasco beat the Braves in his last start at the Ted giving up 3 runs in 6 innings as the Marlins went on to win 8-3. I like the Braves with Javy on the bounce-back against the Marlins, the Braves on the bounce-back from yesterday's loss, with a bit of revenge against Nolasco to do well today as they are 13-3 when the total is set at this range and 7-0 when Vasquez starts after allowing more than 5 runs in their previous game.
Good luck,
