Otherwise, we could make the case for all sorts of World Series rings, Matt Cain/Barry Zito wins, etc.

Saw him play last night. He was not a happy camper to be in 3A. Did not talk much and was very subdued prior to the game.

He did make an outstanding play in the Grizzlies-Reno Game last night. Tied in the ninth inning, Aces catcher John Hester hit a deep drive into the LF corner. Fred made a full lay out diving catch at the base of the wall. Simply beautiful. Too bad he can’t play defense.

Of all 15 games today, this game has one of the biggest outliers between Vegas and The Simulator.

Vegas has the Braves win probability at 54.75%
While The Simulator has the Giants win probability at 57.38%

A whopping 12.13% difference. No Chipper today and the Braves are sitting some of their best hitters due to the Giants hurling a lefty at them today. Good chance to make some dime today. Or in your case, nickel. :)
