Smoltz comes off a loss against the Diamondbacks but don't blame him too much. He gave up four runs on eight hits in 7 innings. But, he did strike out 10 batters. He just didn't get much run support. Against Washington in 31 starts he is 16-7 with a 2.54 ERA. As a favorite the past two seasons he is 27-8 and as a big favorite (-175 to -250) Smoltz is 37-8 over the past decade. His counterpart Ramon Ortiz has a pedestrian 5.05 ERA on the season (slightly worse 5.51 on the road) and is 0-3 with an 8.85 ERA vs. Atlanta. Backing him up is a weak bullpen with a 5.05 road ERA and 3-7 record. Atlanta and Smoltz here for our strongest play of the day.
