The jury is still out on Kris Medlen - as he hasn't thrown enough innings to qualify in most season long databases - but this kid has been unbelievable for the Braves in his few starts. In fact, he's my #3 ranked pitcher in baseball. The Nationals have never faced Medlen and the Braves have the best bullpen in baseball so essentially they're up against the best pitching that professional baseball has to offer. Throw onto the fire a top 10 ranked offense (I know they're missing Bourne and Ugla, but the line-up is still quite strong tonight). Add onto that the importance of this game in the division and the avoid the sweep angle and you can see why I like the Braves at pk'em odds.

And if you're looking for a good reason to fade Detwiller... just look at his K/9 ratio in August. Disgusting. I don't think his shit will last for long against a powerful and motivated Braves offense that has already seen him (and had success) earlier this season.

Tonight's theme will be revenge. I already won my money back with a parlay on the Rays. I'm betting the Braves avoid the sweep. And I like the Yankees and Dodgers tonight as my strongest leans.

I should point out in my write-up that Medlen hasn't STARTED against the Nationals this season, he's pitched against them in relief for a few innings however so it's not total unfamiliarity. Still, I like what this kid is throwing as a starter, just nasty stuff.

Only 1 play for me today. Not easy going against hot Nats and Detwiler with his 7-1 home at night record but Nats may be vulnerable today before an off day and already having won the series. Medlin superb (3 runs in 25 innings, 22/4 K/BB ratio). Braves haven't lost (4-0) with Medlin as a starter with all wins by the RL (7-1 average score). Braves motivated to avoid sweep and not lose more ground to Nats and Chipper back in lineup. When Braves win on the road this year they are 13-4 vs RL as well. Like the ump, Nauert 16-10 to visitors this year and Nats 1-2, Braves 2-1 in his calls. Braves -1'
Hope you don't mind me reposting this Trader. Some solid information that I probably wouldn't have mentioned even had I done a full write-up on this game. Thanks for digging this up and sharing!

Detwiller is vulnerable against righties and the Bravos have 7 guys swinging from that side of the plate tonight. I like this line-up almost from top to bottom. Should do some damage.
