po69 is to ashamed to even post his record, whats his use?
each of these is a better write up than anything you have ever produced.
and this was something i did for a friend in 2 minutes
as far as the specific questions you have asked.
Atl has a young lineup and they have some guys that are very free swinginers. Sps with a sharp slider will give them trouble and pitchers who know how to make young hitters expand the zone give them trouble. that being said, Josh towers is a control pitcher without a any dominating pitch, much less one that will make you chase. ATl has some good real good bats and a lot of guys with pop. Towers, pitching to contact, will allow the braves to get on the board and test the fairly slow infield of the jays. the youth in the braves lineup is better than what Tor will be throwing on then hill tomorrow. and should towers get in trouble they go to chulk and hes been brutal this year. I like atl to take care of their side of the total.
on the other side yuo have the jays bats vs sosa. in each of sosa's last 3 games hes had a WHIP over 1.50 and thats without walking a lot of guys; he is just being knocked around. The jays have much more discipline at the plate than ATL and should certainly put the bat on the ball and do some with some power vs sosa who struggles with geting too much of the plate too often. even in sosas great 2005 with mazzone he still put men on base too often and thats trouble vs a team that can slug like the jays. I also like them to cover their side of the total.
when i see a game in which i would be surprised by either team putting up 8 runs, i like to take the overs on each side as well as the game total and i have already done so with this game.
anything else on this game, we can certainly talk on it.
Pineiro is fighting for a spot in the rotation at this point and is someone the mariners Hope shows some life before the deadline so that they can ship him. he has some potential with a great curve and a decent two seemer but his problem is the loss of velocity on his FB. at times he tries to nibble on the corners and hes walking too many people. LAD doesnt feature a real patient team, being that most of them are very young and they lead off with Furcal. That being said, LAD isnt a team that Ks too often and they shouldnt have a problem putting the ball in play and doing so with some power. if Pineiro cant keep the ball down, he will get mashed. the main problem with LAD is Drew's shin and his ability to walk to the park not making the injury any worse. but with Kent rested and drew rested, LAD should give LAD some problems before they are able to get to Soriano/putz.
Penny has been great all year and the fairly light hitting Ms should struggle with him. the mariners overall offensive numbers are not as bad as most peolpe make them out to be, but they lack anything outside of ichiro and Ibanez that you feel will show up every night. Lopez has been great but i still think he is a bit of an unknown. their big money, beltre and sexson are simply players that you cant count on while capping. Sure sexson could hit a HR, but he puts solid contact on the ball so infrequently that you have to cap him as a non factor fo the most part. taking away the Dh frmo Seattle doesnt hurt them as much as it does a minn/clev so thats not something i would worry about a lot on that side of things. its likely seattle will be down and pinch hitting after the 5th and that puts every daye ddie into the game at some point and another chance at a big inning for LAD. in the end i like the dodgers to win the game. They have a shot at a big inning most every inning and thats something seattle doesnt offer vs penny. Penny is a horse and can go 7 innings without much problem, the thing there is we get into the pen which has been a bit shaky at times, but has a ton of talent.
overall i love dogs and like to take upsets when i see the value but here i believe the value is in the dodgers though the rl could become a factor seeing as they are likely to only get 8Abs to seattles 9.
anything else...just let me know bud
you are worse than me. far worse
