Schule's MLB MERCHANT OF DEATH - $20 S-P-E-C-I-A-L
(MLB) Philadelphia vs. Atlanta, 09/27/2016 3:10 PM, Score: 6 - 7
Money Line: -140.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Atlanta Braves.

The Braves are on fire at the moment, coming into this home series versus Philly as winners of seven of their last eight. I like Atlanta with their ace on the mound in Game 1.

Julio Teheran (6-10, 3.10 ERA) allowed one run on five hits over seven innings in a 5-4 win over the Mets his last time out. He's pitched very well against Philly this season, going 1-1 with a 2.45 ERA in two previous meetings. Philly's lineup is batting just .221 over a combined 172 at bats versus Teheran.

The Phillies hand the ball to Jerad Eickhoff, who has also pitched well against Atlanta. He's 2-1 with a 1.88 ERA in four starts versus the Braves this year, but he's 0-1 with a 2.89 ERA in his two starts at Atlanta.

The Braves are 5-1 in Teheran's last six starts versus Philly.

Take ATL.
