Braves, Marlins play rubber match in South Beach

Baseball Betting Lines

07/25/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jair Jurrjens tries to win his fourth straight decision this afternoon when the Atlanta Braves close out a three-game series with the Florida Marlins at Sun Life Stadium.

Jurrjens has gone 3-0 in his four starts since returning from the disabled list and beat the San Diego Padres on Tuesday. He allowed a run and five hits in seven innings of that one to improve to 3-3 on the year, while lowering his earned run average to 4.25.

In six starts against the Marlins, Jurrjens is 3-1 with a 4.37 ERA.

Florida, meanwhile, will pin its hopes on righty Chris Volstad, who is 4-8 with a 4.78 ERA, but hasn't pitched since July 6. Volstad absorbed the loss in that one and hasn't won in four starts since beating Tampa Bay on June 13.

Volstad, who is 1-2 in four starts against the Braves with a 4.30 ERA, last beat a National League team back on May 7 in Washington.

After Billy Wagner's blown save cost his team a win in the opener, Atlanta bounced back on Saturday, as Brooks Conrad hit his second career grand slam during an eight-run eighth inning, helping the Braves to 10-5 win.

Martin Prado hit a solo homer for Atlanta, while Eric Hinske drove in two runs and scored once. Jason Heyward also had three hits and scored twice for the victors.

Jesse Chavez (2-1) tossed a perfect seventh to pick up the win.

Dan Uggla homered and knocked in three runs for the Marlins, who had a three- game winning streak snapped. Mike Stanton added a solo homer.

"It's not the first time [we blew a lead] and it won't be the last...It just so happens they stole one from us," Uggla said. "That's baseball."

Atlanta has won five of its eight matchups with the Marlins this season.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
