dime bet 957 NYM / 958 ATL Under 7.5 BetUS
Analysis: I am not going to bore you with stats for this game, but clearly we have history on our side tonight. Santana is just 1-4 in 7 starts throwing to the€ Braves but has an incredible ERA verses them and even better here in this park in 3 starts. Why is he not winning? Because the Mets have not produced enough runs, and guess what? They are not producing this year at all. They did manage a 3-2 win last night and in doing so picked up another UNDER for this year. They have been doing that a lot, because they have great Bullpen Work, better than average starting pitching, and a weak offense. Medlen is the key tonight but he has thrown 6 and 1/3 scoreless innings verses New York and this guy does have pretty good stuff. His first start this year was better than average verses the Phillies and these Mets are not even close to the Phils run production. Interestingly, both of these two teams have been playing a lot of Overs lately, but against each other, they have not met this posted number this year in 4 tries, and dating back to last year in 6 tries. We do not have a favorable wind situation for tonight. However, My MLB Model shows we will not see 8 runs 56.8% of the time, and that is good enough for me to play it.
