Atlanta Braves ML
The more I look into this game, the more I like it as well. In my opinion, the offenses are both about equal with these teams with a slight nod to the reds. The big difference in this game will from the pitching though. Lets take a look at each pitcher:
Atlanta's Jair Jurjens
Jurjens is coming off of his worst start of the season. He allowed 6 runs in 5 innings against Washington. It is because of this loss that I love him so much in this game because I see him hitting it hard tonight to make up for it!
-Before this last loss, Jurjens had a 1.87 ERA.
-Jurjens is currently 12-3 with a 2.26 ERA over all.
-On the road he is 5-2 with an ERA of 1.96
Bottom line... This guy is a beast and should bounce back big tonight.
Cincinnati's Bronson Arroyo
-Arroyo is currently 3-7 with an ERA of 5.35 at home this year.
-He is also 0-2 with an ERA of 8.66 during his last 3 starts.
-Out of 19 starts this season, only 9 have been quality.
-For some reason when he pitches at night he is consistently bad, posting an ERA of 7.15 in 13 starts at night.
Against Bronson Arroyo, the Braves bats should light up tonight.
Between Atlanta's #1 bull pen and superior pitching, I see them taking the game tonight.
