I'm playing on ATLANTA.  

Cole Hamels and three Phillies relievers combined to no-hit the Braves Monday. But I see the home team bouncing back on Tuesday for the simple fact that I just don't think Philadelphia is a very good team.  With Hamels out of their way, look for Atlanta to make a comeback in this series.

Tuesday's starter for the Phillies certainly isn't as strong as Hamels.  Kyle Kendrick has a 5.56 road ERA and has allowed four runs in each of his last three starts.  I'm really not sure how Kendrick has managed a 4-1 TSR his last five times out.  But he's certainly due for a loss.  Over his last nine starts overall, Kendrick's ERA is 6.55.

Only twice in his last 10 starts has Kendrick gone more than six innings.  He's also had problems keeping the ball in the park.  Opponents have homered against him in 8 of his last 10 starts and 11 times total.

Atlanta will go with Mike Minor, who has a 3-0 TSR his last three starts. He has a 1.66 ERA and 0.69 WHIP in them.  The Braves have won all three games. While the Braves offense likely rebounds, Minor will take care of the rest.  1* free play

Ryan has amassed a profit of $26,240 for the Dime Player this season. He passed on labor Day, but now comes back with a very special 3-pack of Top Rated Titans consisting of a Run Line play and TWO DOGS. He normally charges $35.00 for just a single Titan, but today you get three for that same price. 

5* graded play on the Philadelphia Phillies as they take on the Atlanta Braves in NL East action set to start at 7:10 PM ET. Phillies really exposed the Braves in their 4-person no hitter. That is a great accomplishment, but let's not forget the Braves 11 hitters were also a team effort. All kidding aside, the Braves are fighting for their playoff lives and each loss is magnified now that we are in September. Atlanta is seven games behind Division leading Nationals and trail by 1 1/2 games in the NL Wild Card race. Nats have outscored their opponents by 108 runs. The Braves by just 19 runs. Therein is the first clue that the Braves have not been able to play consistent winning baseball this season. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting an amazing 45-29 mark for 61% winners and has made a whopping 47.2 units/unit wagered averaging a +169 DOG play. Play on all underdogs with a money line of +150 or more (PHILADELPHIA) after allowing one run or less in a win over a division rival and starting a pitcher who walked

09/02 07:10 PM EST   MLB   (951) PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES VS (952) ATLANTA BRAVES
Take: UNDER THE TOTAL.
Reason: Your free pick for Tuesday, September 2nd, 2014, comes in baseball as the Phillies and Braves meet in Atlanta. Atlanta is a good pitcher's park and a pair of lousy offensive teams meet. Last place Philadelphia is 22nd in baseball in runs scored, 24th in on base percentage and 26th in slugging. That offense will struggle against Atlanta starter Mike Minor, who is back on track allowing 1, 1 and 2 runs his last three starts. The under is 4-1-2 in Braves last seven against a team with a losing record. The Atlanta offense is weak, as well, 27th in baseball in runs scored, 20th in on base percentage and 25th in slugging. They are struggling to score, on a 7-2-3 run under the total. Minor tossed seven strong innings against the Mets on Thursday to earn his sixth win of the season. He gave up just one run and four hits while striking out five batters. It's been a rough season for Minor, but he's turned things around lately, with four straight quality starts and 24 strikeouts during that period (28.1 innings). The under is 6-1-2 in the Braves last seven against the National League East and this one shapes up as a low scoring tilt. Play the Phillies/Braves Under the Total.
