Sunday comp play is the Braves to avoid the ugly sweep at home against the Dodgers.


The Braves are in a tailspin, as they enter today riding a 4-game losing streak, and they have been on the wrong side in 9 of their last 13 overall.


Today they do have a bit on an intangible in play, as Atlanta's beloved Chipper Jones will get his plaque put up on the wall in Cooperstown this afternoon, and I have a feeling that "mojo" coupled with the fact the Braves have won 11 of their last 15 Sunday games is going to lead to a victory with Sean Newcomb on the hill.


Newcomb is stuck on 9 wins as he takes the ball today. He is 9-5, and today is as good a day as any to notch that elusive 10th win as he opposes Ross Stripling who is 8-2 for the year for the first place Dodgers.


It's been a real grind of late for both myself and the Braves, but today the Bravos give Hall-of-Famer Chipper Jones a present on his induction day.


Tomahawk Chop time!

Your Sunday freebie is the Royals and Yankees to play Over the total in their series finale in the Bronx.


Yesterday's double-header saw the day game make its way Over the total, while the night game came close - 9 combined runs - but did miss sliding Over the posted price.


Expect this finale to head over with Burch Smith and J.A. Happ on the mound.


Smith comes into this start with a 5.58 season ERA for his 50 innings pitched, and the Over is 2-0-1 in his 3 previous starts this season.


Happ is the Yankees newly acquired pitching help, but his ERA of 5.56 over his last 3 starts, all of them playing Over the total should tell you that the runs are definitely going to add up this afternoon at Yankee Stadium.


Bats make the noise today versus a pair of hurlers who are looking for their better stuff.


Royals-Yankees Over the total.


2* KANSAS CITY-N.Y. YANKEES OVER

My free play for tonight is on the Angels over Seattle, and I'm not listing pitchers.


The Angels will once again carry the momentum over from last night's win and topple the Mariners. The Halos used a 4-3, 10-inning victory over Seattle in the opener of a three-game series to gain steam, and then blasted the M's 11-5 last night. The Halos have now won four straight.


The Mariners have been struggling offensively, scoring 3.25 runs per game in July after scoring 4.74 runs per game in March/April, 4.07 runs in May and 4.50 in June.


Seattle, which is on a 6-12 skid since the Angels snapped its eight-game win streak with a victory at Safeco on July 4, won't have the offense they'll need to match wits with the Halos, as Seattle is hitting just .235 this month - the sixth lowest batting average in the bigs. They also rank dead last with just 65 runs this month.


None of that bodes well against an Angels team that ranks 9th in the league with 248 runs plated at home, and 12th overall 483 runs.


Again, do not list pitchers, and take the Angels over Seattle in this easy winner.
