Result: Win
This is an 8* MID-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Atlanta Braves.

The Braves won in extra innings last night and we like the home side to take advantage of another favorable pitching matchup and to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night Thursday as well:

Matt Cain: He's 3-6 with a 4.99 ERA. Cain most recently gave up two runs over five innings, while also allowing nine hits on 83 pitches in a loss to Colorado on Saturday. He has just 46 K's in 74 innings of work and his WHIP now sits at an uninspiring 1.69. Note that he's failed to go deeper than the fifth inning in any of his last four starts, which doesn't bode well this evening as he's already 0-4 with a 7.46 ERA on the road this season.

Jamie Garcia: He's 2-5 with 3.59 ERA. Garcia most recently was rocked for six runs off seven hits and two walks over 5.2 innings on Saturday while also striking out seven, lucky to earn a no-decision for his effort. Previous to that though he'd allowed just six earned runs (1.49 ERA) over a five-game stretch of excellence. His WHIP stands at a respectable 1.26 and while he's 0-3 at home, he owns a decent 3.63 ERA in Atlanta.

The bottom line: Garcia also has a 2.84 ERA in all "night" games this year. No need to overthink this one in our opinion. These teams are a "wash" at the plate right now, but Cain has been a train-wreck on the road and we expect that trend of futility to carry over into this one. Play on the BRAVES.
