Baseball Play

I would really like this a whole ton more if I was getting a better payout, but I am bending to Vegas’ will on this and accepting something at essentially even money.

Arizona (+108) @ Atlanta

D’Backs have a young pitcher Bauer who is supposed to be the bees knees.  The fact that the Braves are putting out Jurrjens or however you spell it is nice (since he’s been so hittable this year) but not fundamental to the bet.  It’s all about Bauer.  As a final note on this, I thought I was pretty hot shit knowing stuff about this guy…I had Sportscenter on for about 20 seconds this morning and they were talking about how this kid is still available in about half the espn fantasy leagues.  They were putting things in a positive light as in, “be the first in your league to grab him.  He may still be available!”  I’m shocked it’s already that high, though.  Very glass half empty feel to this.  We’ll see…
