Nut it does look so easy on PADRES-- does the Atlanta pitcher concern you?
You think they can hit maddux well tonight, I know Padres have been bad of late and Braves can win off a loss
Morton's a good solid prospect he pitched well on the road early maybe he is putting to much pressure on himself . His starts really show 1 terrible one and poor one but 3 decent outings otherwise .
I think ATL really needs to win here since they are 2-10 away vs LHSP and Wolf awaits tmrw.

Whatever bad starts Maddux has had have come on normal rest which he is here today . He just has become a tough luck SP.
Might play the over as well since I can expect ATL to score 4 . Also the Peavy to Maddux stuff arguement .....
Like I Said last 20 meetings ATL is 15-5 with no consecutive SD wins and the past 3 SD wins were when ATL started a LHP. SD is 12-24 off a win this year . They are 3-10 L13 at home 7-18 L25 .....
Understandable to pay for Peavy since he can be lights out but even with Maddux's great 2.40 ERA when he starts SD still allows 4.7
So playing ATL ML (maybe 1st 5 and over )BOL:cheers:
