Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Atlanta Braves
MLB Prediction: Atlanta -133 odds (May 17th 2013)
CLICK HERE FOR JIMMY BOYD’S EXPERT MLB BASEBALL PICKS

The Dodgers have been a pretty big flop to start the season which is surprising when you look at the size of their payroll. They are averaging just 3 runs per game against left handed starters and they have a 6-9 road record combined to a 9-5 home record for Atlanta. The Braves will also face a lefty today and they are averaging 4.6 runs per game with a .337 on base percentage in the 14 games they have went against left handed starters this season.

Atlanta will have Paul Maholm on the mound today. Maholm has a 3.94 ERA with a 1.208 WHIP in his 8 starts but his numbers are significantly better when playing at home. In his home starts his ERA drops to 1.32 and he has a 0.878 WHIP. For the Dodgers Hyun-Jin Ryu will get the start. He is a big of an unknown as he does not have a single game in his career where he has went up against Atlanta.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Atlanta Braves
Prediction: Under 7
CLICK HERE FOR BEN BURNS’ EXPERT MLB BASEBALL PICKS

I spent the last six weeks in Florida, much of that time spent @ a place on Indian Shores Beach.

For those unfamiliar with the area, that’s very close to Clearwater, the spring training home of the Phillies. (Its also very close to Dunedin, home of the Jays & within driving distance of several other spring training venues.)

While I certainly haven’t been “vacationing,” I did find the time to take in several ball games…

Not only do I enjoy watching spring training games, I find that it helps me get a good feel for the season, allowing me to (hopefully) hit the ground running.

Hamels was one of the stars of the spring training. Indeed, he led the NL with a dominating 0.95 ERA. He had 15 Ks vs. four walks and finished with a stellar 0.79 WHIP.

Hudson wasn’t as dominant as Hamels. However, he still finished with a respectable 3.90 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. He was also at his best his last couple of outings.

In his last “tune-up” start, despite less than ideal conditions, he allowed one earned run through four innings.

He was quoted as saying: “Conditions weren’t ideal, but April is probably going to be a lot like that at the places we’re going to be playing in. I’ve got a few things I want to iron out, small things in my delivery. But for the most part, I feel like everything’s in line to be where I want to be for the start of the season.”

He continued by saying: “Today could have gone better. On a day like today, the pitcher’s probably the least comfortable guy on the field. So to just give up one run against that lineup, I’m OK with it…. That one inning I had those back-to-back walks. Other than that I was OK with it.”

In his previous spring start, Hudson pitched six shutout innings against the Nationals.

While the Braves and Phillies both boast very capable lineups, don’t be surprised to see them start things off with a “pitchers’ duel.” Assuming the line stays at 7 (no play at 6.5) take a look at the Under.

Atlanta Braves vs. Milwaukee Brewers
Prediction: Atlanta Braves -113
CLICK HERE FOR JIMMY BOYD’S EXPERT PICKS

The Braves, winners of 5 of 6 overall and 7 of their last 8 versus Milwaukee, have the edge on the mound tonight with Hudson.

The right-hander is 14-5 (18-6 on the money line) with an ERA of 3.59 in 24 starts this season. He’s 6-1 (8-2 on the money line) with an ERA of 3.14 in 10 road starts. The Braves are 25-9 in Hudson’s last 34 starts as a favorite.

Milwaukee’s Estrada is just 2-6 (8-11 on the money line) with an ERA of 4.17 in 19 starts this season. He’s been better at home where he is 1-2 (7-4 on the money line) with an ERA of 3.56, but these numbers still fall short of what Hudson has been able to do on the road. The Brewers are 1-8 in Estrada’s last 9 starts as an underdog. Bet the Braves.

Washington Nationals vs. Atlanta Braves
Pick: Washington Nationals -149
CLICK HERE FOR TODAY’S EXPERT BASEBALL PICKS

The Nats have the advantage with ace Stephen Strasburg on the mound. Strasburg is 9-2 with an ERA of 2.60 this season and has won his last two starts versus the Braves. He is a dominant pitcher who averages 7.9 strikeouts per start. These are exactly the type of pitchers that have given the Braves problems. In fact, Atlanta is 0-8 at home this season versus starting pitchers who strike out 5 batters or more per start. The Braves have lost these eight games by an average score of 6.6 to 2.3.

While Atlanta doesn’t figure to get too much off Strasburg, Washington should be able to get to Minor. He’s just 3-6 with a 6.14 ERA this season. The Braves are 0-3 in his last 3 starts overall and 0-3 in his last 3 starts versus Washington. We’ll bet the Nationals.

Atlanta Braves vs. New York Yankees
Pick: New York Yankees +101
CLICK HERE FOR TODAY’S EXPERT PICKS

New York has taken over the top spot in the AL East by wining 5 in a row and 8 of their L9 overall. In their current win streak, the Yankees are outscoring foes by an average of 3.2 RPG. The Bronx Bombers rank among the top teams in the RPG (4.75), team BA (.264), OPS (.795), and HRs (95). Hiroki Kuroda gets the start today. The RH is 5-6 but boasts a 2-0, 0.82 record in his L3 starts. In his career, Kuroda holds an ERA of 2.10 vs. Atlanta. The Braves have dropped 3 straight by a combined 21-8. They are now 4 GB of the Nationals in the NL East. Neither their hitting nor their pitching has been anything but mediocre. Today, Tim Hudson gets the nod. The RH has a home ERA of 5.92 this year. The Yankees are 4-0 their L4 games played at the Braves, 39-16 their L55 Interleague games, and 5-0 their L5 games played vs. RH starters. The Braves are 3-7 their L10 games played as a favorite of -110 to -150, 2-9 their L11 games following a loss, and 5-16 in Hudsons L21 Interleague starts. Take New York. Thank you. -Joe D’Amico

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Atlanta Braves
Prediction: Atlanta Braves -1.5 +129
CLICK HERE FOR TODAY’S PREMIUM MLB PICKS

Congrats to those that backed my free pick on the Miami Heat -1.5 last night! Currently 4-1 over my last five free picks, and ready to add to the total with a rare run-line winner on Friday.

First things first, if you are comfortable laying the big juice(-165 to -175), go right ahead. If you want to avoid the possibility of a huge loss, I strongly recommend the run-line.

In order to cover a run-line, you like to look for a hot offense and a lopsided pitching matchup. The Braves are 6-1 in their last seven games overall. In those six wins, they are averaging 6.5 runs/game.

Hard to see that offense slowing down at home against Toronto’s Kyle Drabek, who is 1-4 with a 6.98 ERA and 1.989 WHIP in five road starts.

The Braves will counter with youngster Brandon Beachy, who is 5-4 with a 1.87 ERA and .954 WHIP in 11 starts. As good as those numbers are, Beachy is 2-1 with a 0.96 ERA and 0.786 WHIP at home.

It’s also worth noting that Beachy started against the Blue Jays at home last year. He allowed just one run over six innings of a 5-1 Braves win. BET ATLANTA!

We’ll fade the Braves this evening as they bring southpaw Mike Minor to the mound. His 6.98 ERA is the worst in the majors. He is 0-3 (2-4 on the ML) with an ERA of 9.95 in his last six starts. Plus, he is 0-1 (1-3 on the ML) with an ERA of 7.65 in 4 career starts versus the Marlins.

Miami’s Mark Buehrle has been a more reliable investment to say the least. He has a solid 3.53 ERA on the season, and the Marlins have won 5 of his last 6 starts. Plus, he’s 3-0 lifetime against the Braves with an ERA of 4.05. We’ll take Miami. Get more Braves vs. Marlins betting information from Jimmy Boyd at Touthouse.com each day.

MLB Predictions: May 2nd 2012
Philadelphia Phillies vs. Atlanta Braves
Prediction: Philly -113 odds
CLICK HERE FOR TODAY’S EXPERT MLB PICKS

The Philadelphia Phillies are showing some incredible value at -113 with Roy Halladay on the mound. Halladay is one of the elite pitchers in the game today, and rarely will you find him at this price. We also get a Philadelphia team that has won 5 of their last 7 overall.

Halladay is coming off back-to-back losses in his last two starts, but that isn’t to say he didn’t pitch well. Halladay allowed just five runs over 14 innings and comes into the game today 3-2 with a 1.95 ERA and 0.946 WHIP in five starts. If that isn’t enough to get you to jump on the Phillies, Halladay is 3-1 with a 1.72 ERA and 0.915 WHIP in six career starts vs. Atlanta.

The Phillies are 36-19 against the money line on the road with a money line of -100 to -150 over the last 2 seasons and an impressive 15-5 against the money line in road games when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 54% to 62%) over the last 2 seasons. BET THE PHILLIES!
