To the shock of many sportsbook fans, the Atlanta Braves have quietly crept within two games of the National League Wild Card race. Thanks to an incredible hot streak (winning 15 of 17) the Braves suddenly have their eyes set on the postseason. With two winnable games against
Tuesday, Sept. 29 @
Josh Johnson (15-5, 3.12) vs Tim Hudson (2-1, 3.56)
After sitting out nearly the entire season with an injury,
Josh Johnson is no slouch himself, however, as the young righty has positioned himself among the National League’s best pitchers. He had an up-and-down effort against Philly in his last outing, striking out 10 while allowing seven hits and four runs in five innings. Given Johnson’s mixed results against
Wednesday, Sept. 30 @
Ricky Nolasco (12-9, 5.28) vs. Javier Vazquez (15-9, 2.83)
It’s easier to bet horses than figure out what Nolasco will bring to the table. He’s impressed the Marlins at times, as largely because of his 179 strikeouts in 177.1 innings, but he’s inconsistent and prone to being blown out. The Braves found a way to get to him, as Nolasco owns a 4.67 ERA in three games against
After pitching for the White Sox over the past three seasons, Vazquez has excelled in his first year with the Braves. His strikeout total is his best in six years, while his ERA and WHIP are at all-time lows. Most importantly, he’s delivering just when
Obviously, neither Nolasco or Vazquez have fared well against their Wednesday-night opponents, but Vazquez has a better body of work to go along with a lineup of teammates that have been on fire, winning seven straight and 15 of 17. Look for Vazquez and the Braves to get it done for your MLB picks.
THE PICK:
NFL Vegas odds for week 4, 2009 are out as are most of the NFL power ratings for week 4. On Monday Night football, the Dallas Cowboys win and cover against the Carolina Panthers in a contest that goes way under the total to close out week 3 NFL betting.
Perhaps the most interesting game of the week and one of the top this year is the Baltimore Ravens at the New England Patriots New England is laying just -2 at home.
Some notes from Week 3 and how they will affect Week 4 NFL picks.
Browns head coach Eric Mangini said he will decide by Wednesday which of his struggling QBs gets the call this weekend. Starter Brady Quinn was pulled at halftime and former starter Derek Anderson was just as incompetent in their 34-3 trouncing at
Raiders head coach Tom Cable was given the expected bad news from dictator Al Davis—JaMarcus Russell, one of the worst starting QBs in NFL betting history.
The Raiders though got some decent news. WR Chaz Schilens was projected as their No. 1 receiver but he’s been out since training camp. He did practice Monday and is expected to make his debut this week.
Statuesque QB Byron Leftwich has been demoted to the No. 3 spot. Second-year pro Josh Johnson takes over the Buccaneers starting signal caller.
Colts Pro Bowl DE Dwight Freeney will miss 2-3 weeks. Freeney has four sacks in three games and his loss is devastating says Bill Gould of Lines-Maker.com.
The Cheeseheads beleaguered offensive line got much needed good news. LT Chad Clifton is probable for their highly anticipated Monday Night Football battle with Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaking of a beleaguered offensive line, battering Rams QB Marc Bulger is doubtful with an injured shoulder. Journeyman Kyle Boller will likely start in his place.

If you want to give me a price back like this with a
The Bucos just outplayed the Dodgers in that last series which was capped with the double digit matinee victory yesterday. Andy LaRoche was an amazing 5-for-5 with two homers, 6 RBI and 4 runs scored. That’s quite a day huh!?!?!?
Lou’s squad has been beyond underachieving this season and even with studs in Aramis Ramirez and Derrek Lee are just overall a collection of underachieving mediocrity this season. When the Cubbies are getting a solid price back they become a quality team to back because they do have talent but in a big favorite spot like this they are beyond untrustworthy.
Ryan Dempster and that sinker is always dangerous if on but when it’s not the guy can resort back to those sketchy closer days where you would just shake your head at how bad the guy could be. I’m sure Dempster will be alright today as the Bucos are still far from an offensive juggernaut but Andrew McCutcheon is a blossoming stud and a few others like LaRoche, Garret Jones and even Lastings Milledge (the underachieving former Met) can be alright.
Even if Dempster is on I have a decent feeling about Kevin Hart who will be more than ready to pitch today against the team that traded him about three months ago. Hart has been very good this season at times but seems to get no pub at all. When he filled in with the Cubs he hurled quality start after quality start and since being acquired by
