The Atlanta Braves will be lead by starting pitcher Chuck James. Chuck James has struggled this season. In fact, Chuck James has a 7.62 ERA on the season. To say the least, we see Chuck James giving up many runs today.
The Pittsburgh Pirates will be lead by starting pitcher Tom Gorzelanny. Tom Gorzelanny has also struggled this season. In fact, Tom Gorzelanny has a 6.91 ERA this season. We see Tom Gorzelanny also giving up many runs today.
These teams have a history of scoring many runs when they meet. In fact, the Over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings between these teams.
Take the Atlanta Braves/Pittsburgh Pirates Over 9.5
WINNING SPORTS
Selection: Florida Marlins/Washington Nationals Over 10
Reason: Put us down on the Florida Marlins/Washington Nationals Over 10 for our Free MLB Selection on Saturday. Today we expect a high-scoring game as the Florida Marlins do battle with the Washington Nationals. One reason why we expect a high-scoring game is because both these teams will be sending to the mound poor starting pitchers. This says it all... The Florida Marlins Starting Pitcher (Andrew Miller) has a 7.79 ERA this season, while Washington Nationals Starting Pitcher (Michael O'Connor) has a 6.35 ERA this season. In addition, the Over is 4-2 in Andrew Miller's 6 starts this season. To say the least, we should see many runs scored today! Take the Florida Marlins/Washington Nationals Over 10
BRAD DIAMOND SPORTS
Play on: Tampa Bay (Kazmir) over Los Angeles
The Angels lefty Saunders was bombed last time out, so the Diamond is staying away from the overall talent advantage. Instead, I’ll back the Rays with lefty Kazmir who most likely will be on a pitch count. Tampa Bay has outstanding pitching statistics, even in the bull pen with a 1.67 ERA at home this season. Add in the Rays 7-0 streak and perfect 6-0 run after scoring two or less runs in the prior encounter and you have all the necessary angles to support a winning side.

BRIAN GABRIELLE
Take Carl Edwards (+450), 1/6th unit. This Saturday, the Sprint Cup circuit heads to Darlington, which has a newly repaved racing surface that will make for a very different race at the Lady in Black. Without the gritty, sandpaper-like surface, worn-out tires won't be nearly as much of an issue as they used to be, and drivers won't have to reconcile themselves to being loose from the beginning of the race to the end. It's also going to be really, really fast. I think all of this benefits Edwards, who has dominated at the downforce tracks so far this season. Edwards was actually very strong at Darlington last year in the Car of Tomorrow, and even though he suffered a pit penalty, still came back and finished fifth. Expect him to be near the lead all night Saturday. Take Denny Hamlin (+600), 1/6th unit. Yes, we're going right back to Hamlin, even though he broke our hearts last weekend. Hamlin had the race's best car at Darlington last year before a bad late pit stop forced him into second place, but at least you know he's almost always in contention. Eventually his buzzard's luck has to turn around. Doesn't it? Take Jeff Gordon (+900), 1/6th unit. It's not often you get perhaps the sport's greatest driver ever at odds these long; Gordon is actually the seventh pick on the board this weekend. I guess I understand that; he hasn't won a race yet this year, and hasn't really been close to the dominating force he was in '07. The No. 24 currently sits 13th in points, and is therefore out of the Chase right now, but I don't expect that to last much longer. The way Gordon came back from starting 43rd last week, going a lap down, getting the Lucky Dog, and then gradually improving on his car until he finished ninth? That was impressive. Also impressive are the seven career wins he has at this venue, including last year, when his radiator was overheating and spewing water all over the place for the race's final laps, but somehow Gordon won anyway. I also like the fact that Gordon was strong at Vegas before wrecking late while trying to catch Edwards on a restart.

VEGAS EXPERTS TIP OF THE DAY
Toronto Blue Jays at Cleveland Indians
Despite Cleveland finally scoring some runs yesterday, six in fact, they and the Blue Jays still managed to go Under the posted total. Look for more of the same tonight. Entering last night's contest, the Tribe was averaging a paltry 2.8 runs per game over their last 10. Toronto averages just three runs/game vs. lefties and has scored five or more runs just four times dating back to April 20th. Ouch!

Houston Astros (19-17) at Los Angeles Dodgers (19-16)
The hot Astros have won six of their last seven games, but have struggle away from home, just 7-11 on the road this season. However, the surging Astros hammered the LA Dodgers, 7-1 on Friday and have taken five of the last seven and four of the last six at Dodger Stadium.
Houston sends Chris Sampson to the hill. The struggling right-hander has allowed 10 runs in his last two starts. He is 1-3 with a 7.96 ERA this season. Sampson gave up four runs over five innings in a 10-2 lost in his only career start against the Dodgers on July 23.
Los Angeles counters with Chad Billingsley. The right-hander is 2-4 with a 4.54 ERA. He has won his last two outings, following four straight loses. Billingsley is 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA in two career starts against the Astros.
Look for Los Angeles offense to clobber Chris Sampson. The Dodgers are 8-3 in their last 11 home games.
