Strasburg innings limit. I think can be resolved with two approaches:
-Pull him out after 5 innings, he'll at least have a shot at a W; have someone in the bullpen for long relief (Who can of course go 3-4 innings)
-Don't start him in games that are confident lock wins with any other starter (Games Vs Astros, Cubs, etc)
inning limit is stupid. pitch count is what they should be looking at, and more specifically pitches per inning

Is Strasburg a lock to beat the Braves tonight? I was thinking of giving 1.6:1 odds on the Nats at home versus the Braves but then I checked Strasburg's most recent starts and the dude isn't even going deep in games - 5, 6 innings only. A couple he went 7. Why isn't he going 8 or 9? I'm worried he'll just be on a strict pitch count which defeats the whole purpose of betting on him.
ATL has some hot bats and Stras hasnt been his normal self lately. last i checked the official was 1.5 in favor of Nats. as u can c, i didnt make a bet thread today cuz im not very confident in today's games
PS, quit being a puss and ignoring my football league questions. ive don8'd more than half the buy in 2 u over the last couple months lmao. not saying that means u have 2 do it, but at least humor me with a response instead of ignoring me altogether...
