Schule's MLB MERCHANT of DEATH - **EARLY START**
(MLB) Miami vs. Atlanta, 04/13/2015 3:10 PM, Score: 2 - 3
Money Line: -110.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* play on the Atlanta Braves.

Expectations were quite low for the Braves after losing several key players this off-season, but so far they've been far better than anyone could have expected. Atlanta sits first in the NL East with a record of 5-1, and they host the last place Marlins at Turner Field tonight.

Shelby Miller will toe the rubber for the Braves, and he was sharp in his debut. The 24 year old struck out four while tossing five scoreless innings in a win over the Fish in Miami. He had himself a solid spring, and this could be a breakout year for Miller in Atlanta.

The Fish hand the ball to Mat Latos, who signed with the team in the off-season. He didn't look particularly good in spring training, and he was rocked in his 2015 debut. The 27 year old failed to get out of the first inning, allowing seven runs on six hits and a pair of walks in a loss to Atlanta.

Here we are just a week later, and Latos has to try and gather himself against the very same team that roughed him up in his Marlins debut. I don't like his chances, and think he's in for another rough night.

Take ATL.
