One Wednesday play

Tonight we're sticking with one half-unit play:

Atlanta Braves +268 (Matchbook), .5 units to win 1.34 units.

No question this matchup favors the Phillies. But unless Brett Myers turned into circa 1999 Pedro Martinez when I wasn't looking, +268 seems like a value play. Interestingly, Hambone thinks Brett Myers is circa 1999 Pedro, so this took some convincing. Caveat emptor.

Update on the Minnesota travesty: The Twins are currently 1.5 games behind the White Sox. If you take Livan Hernandez's July starts, and substitute Liriano's performance in one of his average starts since returning to the rotation in August (6 weeks too late) for Livan's starts, the result is three extra wins for the Twinkies.

Join me tomorrow, when I discuss various legal theories available to Twins season ticketholders should they decide to sue Twins management.

No, I said I thought Myers was like a circa 1999 A. Martinez, after "The Profiler" was canceled and he had to return to soap operas. Pay attention!
