Jason Schmidt versus John Smoltz Sunday
Coming off a 12-6 loss last time out, Atlanta can redeem themselves and get back on the winning track Sunday at San Francisco.
The Braves start John Smoltz, 0-1, 9 ERA. His last trip was a loss, a 5-4 team loss against the Dodgers, when he threw 5 innings, allowing 5 runs on 9 hits.
Atlanta takes its 3-3 mark to San Francisco to battle the 3-2 Giants today.
Oddsmakers like the Giants in this one, opening the line at 115 in favor of San Francisco. The total, which is 3-1-1 to the OVER in Giants games and 6-0-0 in Braves games, opened at 8.
Bobby Cox's team hopes to rebound from a 12-6 loss at the hands of the Giants. They were underdogs in a game that went over the total.
Don't expect San Francisco to beat themselves at the plate by striking out a lot. The selective Giants batters are in the top three in the league, fanning just 4 times per game.
