09/19/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Lefty Chuck James looks for his third win against Florida in four decisions tonight when the Atlanta Braves close out a three-game series with the Marlins at Turner Field.
The Braves, who won 4-3 on Tuesday, are still clinging to faint playoff hopes. They trail San Diego by 5 1/2 games in the National League's wild card race, as the Padres beat Pittsburgh, 5-3, on Monday.
James, who'll be 26 in November, pulled himself to the .500 mark for the season with a 9-2 defeat of Washington on September 8 in Atlanta. He was roughed up in his last start, also against the Nationals, allowing six hits and three runs in 3 2/3 innings, getting a no-decision in an 8-5 Atlanta win on September 14.
He's faced the Marlins four times in his career - three starts - and is 2-1 with a 1.54 earned run average in 23 1/3 innings.
Florida goes with lefty Dontrelle Willis, who halted a five-start winless streak in his last outing.
The 25-year-old Oakland native scattered seven hits and allowed five runs over six innings on September 14 at Colorado, defeating the Rockies, 7-6, to snap a skid that had resulted in three losses and two no-decisions since August 14.
He dropped a 7-4 decision to the Braves on August 29 in Florida, allowing eight hits and six runs in 5 1/3 innings. Willis is 6-5 in 18 lifetime starts against Atlanta with a 4.92 ERA.
On Tuesday, Brian McCann singled in the eventual winning run, as the Braves downed the Marlins, 4-3.
Jo-Jo Reyes (1-2) allowed one run on three hits, with seven strikeouts and three walks over five frames in his eighth big-league start for Atlanta. Yunel Escobar had three hits, and Matt Diaz notched a pair of hits and a pair of runs scored.
Rafael Soriano tossed a perfect ninth for his seventh save this season.
Florida lefty Chris Seddon (0-1) allowed four runs -- three earned -- on nine hits over 4 2/3 innings in the second start of his career. Miguel Cabrera ended 2-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs for the Marlins, who lost their third straight.
The Braves have won three in a row over the Marlins and now lead the season series 9-8.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
