This is a great spot in my opinion to back the Braves at a super price, I got Atlanta at +157 @Pinny. The Sox have been one of Baseball's poorest interleague teams over the years and the Braves have crucified them here at Fenway going 12-4 here since interleague began. The Braves throw AAA pitcher Davies out there today and he was only 2-1 with a 4.78 era in Richmond but again that's why I'm getting such a great price. Tim Wakefield throws for Boston and will be without his "personal" catcher as Doug Mirabelli will miss this game, if you seen Varitek trying to catch Wakefield in the playoffs last year you'll realize that Atlanta should be stealing bases all day today. Wakefield's teams are 5-14 in his interleague starts also. Over the last 3 seasons the Braves are 9-3 as road underodgs of +150 to +175 and 41-20 on Saturday's, including 5-1 this season. Atlanta is also a solid 7-1 this year in game 2's if they lost the opener. I think the Braves are a live dog tonight in Boston.
4* Braves +157 (Davies/Wakefield)
Best of Luck to everyone.
