Furious MLB Betting Picks – Braves Off To A Bad Start Against White Sox

June 23, 2010

The Atlanta Braves benefit from playing in the NL East, and recent injuries to the Mets, struggles by the Phillies and downright misery for the Marlins has led to their auspicious division lead.

What will legitimize their place as a true MLB betting pick is strong interleague play.

Things aren’t off to a great start in Chicago against the White Sox thus far.

Tim Hudson will take to the mound for Atlanta, hoping to erase the memories of a 9-6 loss last night. Hudson is 7-2 SU with a 2.34 ERA in 14 starts.

In the month of June, Atlanta has gone just 2-2 SU when he’s at the mound, but that doesn’t necessarily have a lot to do with Hudson, who has allowed just 73 hits and 24 earned runs in a total of 92.1 innings this season.

He continues to be an iron man for Braves.

Veteran lefty Mark Buehrle will counter for the Chicago White Sox. He’s also played in 14 starts but has a rough 4-6 SU record with a 4.71 ERA. In 84.0 innings he’s allowed a glaring 99 hits and 44 earned runs with a pitch count that is getting absurd (418 pitches in four starts through 22.1 innings in June).

Where To Watch: PTV, CSN

The MLB betting odds may be against the White Sox in this one, but the stats in this game don’t necessarily reflect interleague play. Buehrle is the all-time winner in interleague games with 22 wins.

He’s a surly pitcher who is able to camouflage the majority of his throws, and that awkward style baffles teams that don’t see him too often.

That’s why an EVEN moneyline on the Sox is easy money tonight.
