August 1st 2008: How To Win $1,000 Dollars on A $5 Dollar Sports Parlay

With the NFL Season coming up, learn how to win BIG by betting small

POINTSHAVERS.COM 08/01/08 - Today starts a new promotion for PointShavers.com. "Perfecting the 8-Team Parlay" comes back into action after several months on the shelf. 

Now that NFL Preseason Football is only days away, we will start giving out our 8-Team Parlays which have been quite successful in the past. We mix-up several sports to give you the best chance at winning big bucks!

Today's free sports pick features a team that is desperately looking for a win.

The Milwaukee Brewers are coming off an embarassing 4-game sweep at home by the Chicago Cubs. The Brewers were absolutely dominated by a Chicago Cubs team that was superior to the Brewers in every way possible. The Chicago Cubs got some really timely home runs from Jose Fukodome and Jim Edmonds -- two players who aren't expected to hit for power.

After closing in on the Cubs for a share of the lead in the NL Central, the Milwaukee Brewers were have been outscored by combined score of 42-17 in their last five games. Today, they'll have a chance to beat the Braves in a game that looks to be a slugfest on paper in a hitter's park.

The Braves will be bringing RHP Chuck James (2-3 W-L, 8.22 ERA) off of the DL to start today, while the Brewers will be starting RHP Jeff Suppan who gave up 8 earned runs against the Houston Astros in his last outing.

The Braves surprised a lot of people with a 9-4 win yesterday against the Cardinals; but, the consensus opinion around the league is that the Braves have conceded this season and are rebuilding for next year. They really can't be counted on for a home win these days; and, the Braves fans are not coming out to support the team like they did several weeks back.

The Brewers should win today behind a much better outing from Jeff Suppan.
