T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves - Run Line

Spencer Strider (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Josiah Gray (0-0, 0.00 ERA)

I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Washington Nationals on Saturday. Although it's early in the season, it's pretty easy to see who's the better side in this series. The braves pulled away late in the Opener, winning 7-5. Now, with a game under their belt, I expect the Braves to explode even more. Last season with the Nationals, Gary posted a 5.02 ERA. Although that was his best season of his career so far, it's not by any means any good. Strider was dominant last season. He went 11-5 with a 2.67 ERA and came on to become the Braves ace for most of the year. He should be coming into this year very confident and I'm expecting another fantastic season from the 24yr old. This is a mismatch and I've got the Braves winning big.

T.M. Prediction: 9-2 Braves.

Line: -1.5, -145

Line Parameter: play until -1.5, -185..
