T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves -1.5.

I like the Atlanta Braves runline in this game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. The Braves have looked really good in their games lately, getting really hot again out of the All Star break. They stumbled in their previous series against the Phillies but they won 2 games in a row now and both wins have been by 2+ runs. Max Fried (10-3, 2.73 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has looked great in his starts all year as he has been the ace for the Braves this year. He has been giving up some runs lately but still hasn't given up more than 3 runs in a July start and I expect to bounce back and have an even better performance in this game. Merrill Kelly (10-5, 3.04 ERA) is up for the D-Backs here and he has looked great in his starts lately, but he did go 8 innings in his most recent start without giving up any runs and I don't expect him to do that again here. The Braves offense has looked really good lately and I expect them to put up runs here and win another game by 2+ runs here. I like the Braves runline in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 4-0 Braves.
