1 side for Friday

 Of course, you expected to see another quality underdog in this thread.  For Friday, we are going with:

#953 Atlanta Braves for 1 unit (I expect line to be around +120)

Once again, we will let the book post their dime lines then go with an official line.

I am going to keep this writeup simple:  

The Braves are 11-1 when Medlen starts including 8 straight wins.  Medlen has had 2 rough outings but I do like the fact that he posted his season high of 8 K's in his last start.  Also, Medlen is not going to walk many batters as he has never allowed more than 2 walks all season.  I really like his approach to pitching.

Cueto has been great this year but I have followed him very closely.  He relies heavily on his fastball and can get wild.  He has allowed 4 or more walks in 2 of his July starts.  I can't argue with his results this year but I believe the Braves can take advantage of the free passes on Friday if he hands them out. From a betting standpoint, these are the pitchers we like to fade.

I have noticed a strange trend.  For the last 10 games, the Reds have won 2 games, lost 2 games, won 2 games, etc.  Well, if the trend holds true then the Reds will lose and Braves will go to 12-1 with him on the mound.   Plus, we are grabbing one of the best teams in MLB around +120.  Lets take the Braves on Friday.

Good luck to everyone.  Lets all end the week on a positive note.

Hey Dfresh,

great to see you still up and around and posting your Friday play.   Great call on Balt!  thanks for the pick and the $$.  Boarded my plane in Portland and saw they were down by 1 run in the eighth and figured it was a loss, landed in LA and saw they won in extra innings.....was nice surprise 

Riding with you on Atlanta.  Keep up the great work!

Good Luck D. Keeps those dogs a barkin'.

And the Braves have won 11 of Medlen's 12 starts.  But Atl's bats have been quiet on this road trip
