#907 ASA PLAY ON Atlanta Braves -1.5 on the Run Line (-115) over Arizona Diamondbacks, Monday at 9:40 PM ET - The Braves Chris Sale is having a fantastic season. The Diamondbacks Yilber Diaz comes in with high expectations based on his minor league success but, of course, pitching at the MLB level is entirely different. This is his MLB debut and he is facing a very tough assignment having to face the Braves. As for Sale, he had one unreal ugly start versus Oakland in his last 11 starts. In the other 10 starts he allowed a total of only 9 earned runs! Not only that, Sale has allowed - other than that start against the A's - just 22 earned runs in 95.2 innings this season. He is 8-1 with a 1.53 ERA in night games this season and has held opponents to a .163 batting average in those 9 starts. We have fantastic line value here with the Braves available at -115 by laying the 1.5 runs on the run line in this spot. Also, in terms of bullpens here, the Braves are #1 in the NL with a 2.97 ERA. The Diamondbacks are #25 out 30 MLB teams with a 4.44 ERA. Arizona is 20-27 against teams with a winning record on the season. The Diamondbacks are also 6-10 against NL East teams this season and 13-17 against left-handed starters. Sale is a tough one so this is a really tough spot for Arizona as Diaz is likely to hit some stumbles in his first ever MLB appearance. Atlanta off B2B wins over a strong Phillies team and the Braves have now won 14 of 23 games. The Dbacks off B2B wins at San Diego but this followed losses in 7 of 12 games and Arizona has lost all 3 games with Atlanta this season plus 6 of last 8 dating back to last season! Look for Atlanta to pull away as this game gets into the middle and later innings. Lay it!
