Oddsline Error Play here with the Braves tonight when they throw Tommy Hanson up against Pedro Martinez. In my opinion the wrong team is favored here when you consider that Hanson's worst starts were 6 and 5 IP allowing 4 ER and that was vs. the Dodgers and at the Rockies. Those are quality starts for Pedro Martinez at this point in his career. So to see the Braves lose here we would have to have two things happen and I don't think they will considering that the Braves have a good history vs. Pedro.
In 2 starts vs. the Braves last year Pedro went 13IP gave up 16H and 8ER 13K's with 4 BB. Atlanta is hitting RHP pretty well right now and they are 5-0 in their last 5 games with Hanson on the hill as a favorite -110 to -150. The Phillies are hitting just .222 in their last 5 vs. RHP and they have not been that great at home this year so I'm confident with Hanson on the mound facing the Phillies who will take at least one trip through to get a hang of Hanson and by then Pedro might be in trouble.
