    I’m looking at is Atlanta at Minnesota. Lineups are in and I’m leaning Braves both F5 -0.5 +112 and full game ML.

    Perez has been throwing it extremely well, Minnesota has struggled overall against lefties, and I think Atlanta has the better matchup against Ober. Ober’s strong home numbers are the worth a closer look

    I’m looking at Cardinals Game 2 tonight. Doubleheaders can get a little tricky because bullpen usage and lineup changes from the first game can completely change the handicap, so I’m digging into all of that before making a call.

    I’m looking at CubsWhite Sox tonight. The White Sox lineup is already out and it looks a little softer than usual, but I still want to see the Cubs lineup before I get too far into it.

    Atlanta is 10-0 against the Twins over (obviously) the last 10 H2H's.  Inflection point...does the dominance continue or are the odds against the trend that has lasted years?  

    I already took Atlanta so good luck whatever you select tonight an_cheers

    @LVTruck

    And all but one of those wins were by more than a run.  The one time Ober threw against the Braves, NINE runs in two innings (40 ERA).  But Perez is also just 1-4 against the Twins though I was motivated by his career record of 99-99...which I'm sure he's very aware of and wanting to get to 100 W's before 100 L's.  If that even makes a difference. 

    Though what do I know I also think the Diamondbacks are greatly undervalued in Boston tonight.
