Was thinking about-So i pulled the Trigger anyway
Atlanta at San Diego
The Atlanta Braves haven't done much as of late & hope i hope they start turning it around,at least tonight,lol.They have dropped five of their last seven games and have not done much hitting at all. They look to get back on track tonight against a young pitcher. For Atlanta, Javier Vazquez takes the mound and has been great this season. His record only shows an 8-7 performance, but that is due to the lack of run support he receives, he has a 3.01 ERA this season. Javier is undefeated since the all-star break and tonight will most certainly be impressive. I see the bats waking up tonight in an urgency game.
The San Diego Padres (44-63), which has the second-worst record in the NL, has won six of seven after losing 20 of 24. are one of the most interesting teams in baseball. The team from America’s most beautiful city is ran by some of the more in adequate people in the business. They are 6-1 in their last seven games overall.Of course, Adrian Gonzalez is the focus with his 28 home runs and 68 RBIs. So, while their lineup isn’t good, it has been serviceable…for now. The Padres send Tim Stauffer to hill tonight, he is 1-2 with a great 2.57 ERA this season. Considering he has only made four starts, any type of situational statistics to me are not valid just yet. he does face a team tonight who is due for a break out performance.
The Braves are 18-6 in their last 24 meetings against the Padres. Atlanta has also won 8 of their last 11 games against the Padres in San Diego. As stated above, javier Vazquez is undefeated since the all-star break and tonight is way to important for Atlanta to falter.
Javier Vazquez (8-7, 3.01 ERA), second in the NL in strikeouts (158) and seventh in opponents' batting average (.230), is 3-0 with a 2.94 ERA in his last five starts with the Braves winning each time.
ATLANTA RL & "OVER" 7 (Hopeing that Braves get at least 5 themselves)
