Well it didnt quite go to plan but a winners a winner
todays play is as follows
4 pts Bryce Harper to hit a Home Run and Washington to beat Miami 5.00 Paddy Power
Bryce is eligible to play in this game after appealing the suspension for his conduct and choice of language towards an umpire resulting in his ejection from a game the other day. I suspect Mr Harper will be playing quite angrily and with a chip on his shoulder in this game. This is quite bad news for Tom Koehler who Bryce has it SIX home runs against in his career, overall Koehler has allowed 10 home runs in the 29 innings he has pitched in this ballpark. I genuinely believe the only way Bryce doesnt take one deep here is if the Marlins adopt the Cubs policy of just walking him every single plate appearance (I hope not!!!) I am fairly confident of the Washington win as Gio Gonzalez has been pitching much better this year and the Miami bats are less effective against left handed pitchers such as Gonzalez, for those of you that want a safer play just go with the run line, but I am quietly confident on this one as Bryce Harper has a flair for the spectacular.
best of luck if you are having a play today
