April 10th Sports Wager of the Day!

Game: Washington Nationals @ Atlanta Braves
Sport: Major League Baseball
Pick: Atlanta Braves -1.5, -220

Reason for Pick:
Coming off a dominating performance against the reigning World Series champions Philadephia Phillies, Derek Lowe is slated to start this afternoon's Atlanta Braves home opener.

Lowe is 5-1 with a 2.41 ERA in six starts against the Nationals and last year went 1-1 with a 1.12 ERA. The Nationals did acquire Adam Dunn in the offseason but is hitting .083 in 12 AB's against Lowe.This looks like another tough day for the winless Nationals.

Opposing Lowe is the Nationals Sharion Martis making his season debut. He went 1-3 last year (his first year in the majors) which includes a 2-0 loss to the Braves.

Chipper Jones who missed last Wednesday's games due to a bruised thumb is expected to play in today's game.
