Monday MLB

Two hot NL teams play at Bush Stadium tonight.
Atlanta trying to right the ship swinging big bats and their main man Chipper is heating up. St Louis also very hot and they will send newly acquired Jeff Weaver to the mound. Opposing pitcher Horacio Ramirez for the Braves coming off a very bad outing, 7 runs in one innings and chased out of the game with only 3 outs recorded. Prior outings were good, on 7/02 going 8 innings 7 hits 3 runs no walks 4 strike outs, on 6/27 going 8 innings 7 hits 1 run 1 walk 3 strike outs. He's basically pitching quality at 3 to 1 ratio.
The resurrection of Weaver might be tougher to swallow looking at his first half with the Angels, but he says he's happy to be back in NL and thinks he fits better who am I to argue. He has 5 out of last 7 quality starts. He has always matched well against the Braves. Albert Pujols is surging and Cards are doing it with pitching when the hits aren't there, rallying from behind and just plain out hitting.
Sounds like a game to pass? Figuring both pitchers to scatter 7~8 hits across 6+ innings giving up 3~4 runs. Starting pitchers no factor in this outcome.
I'll back the home team even with the Braves pounding the NL west they will face much stronger opposition tonight on the road, crossing over time zone and the weakest link, Braves bull pen, makes St Louis cardinals the play of the day.
