Result: Win
Point Spread: 1.50 | -145.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Atlanta Braves +1.5.
The Braves aren't getting any respect at all from bookmakers these days, and it seems just mind boggling that they are a big underdog at home to the Diamondbacks tonight. Arizona is not a team known for it's consistency, and it comes in with a losing record on the road (26-28). The Braves actually have quite a respectable home record of 30-23, and to put that in perspective, a win tonight would give them an identical home record to the Washington Nationals. It's already sounding good for the Braves, and then you consider tonight's scheduled pitchers, and it looks like a complete mismatch.
Julio Teheran will get the call for Atlanta, and he's coming off back to back wins. Teheran (7-6, 4.57 ERA) allowed three runs on six hits over 6 2/3 innings in a 6-3 home win over Miami his last time out. He's 5-1 with a 2.52 ERA in 11 starts at Turner Field this season, and he's 2-1 with a 1.89 ERA in three career starts versus Arizona.
The D'Backs hand the ball to Robbie Ray, who has dropped off significantly after a good start to his rookie season. Ray (3-7, 3.13 ERA) allowed three runs on five hits, including a pair of home runs in a 4-1 loss to Cincinnati his last time out. He's 0-3 with a 4.88 ERA in five starts since the All Star break.
The D'Backs are 5-16 in the last 21 meetings in Atlanta.
Take ATL.
