Monday Baseball is a fantastic thing. It’s calm, it’s quiet and we really have had plenty of time since our last battle to either let the excitement come back to reality or the disappointment be removed with optimism for whatever new series we have in front of us today. One tradition over the years has been giving a lean to those teams who are Home on a Monday after being Home over the weekend. One exception tonight is that the Mariners and Twins does not apply here since they faced each other over the weekend, but the teams who do fall into this category tonight includes … Everyone!

HAUSCAR YNOA A couple offenses have been bad as advertised and one of them is the Nationals offense. Sub 70 degrees and a slight breeze in Atlanta will play that park more to normal.

His slider was among the best in the league at times before a stupid self-inflicted injury last season, so load up on him on both sites.
