Money Line: -120.00 San Francisco (Home)
Result: Loss
ACTION on pitchers. Team and situational edges clearly with the home team in this one – #962 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* San Francisco Giants -120 over Atlanta Braves, Sunday at 4:05 PM ET – The Braves have lost 14 of 22 games including 4 straight defeats. The Giants have won 13 of their last 16 games and already took the first two games of this 3-game set. Atlanta is looking to avoid the sweep here but that kind of wagering angle tends to be overplayed. The fact is simply that the Giants are the much hotter team plus have home field edge here. San Francisco is 49-25 at home this season. The Braves are 28-38 this season against teams with a winning record. Atlanta has fared okay against divisional foes and against the NL Central Division teams but against the NL West as well as the AL teams, the Braves are a combined 14-28 this year! San Francisco is 38-17 in day games and 21-10 against NL East teams this season. Braves are only 6-6 in Fried road starts this season though he has a respectable 3.90 ERA. DeSclafani has been the hotter pitcher of late with a 2.12 ERA his last 3 starts, all Giants wins, and San Francisco is 9-3 in his home starts this season. The Giants also have the better bullpen in this match-up. We have the slight starting pitching edge here but even taking the starting pitching out of the equation, the team edge plus bullpen edge and overall situational edge both rest squarely with the red hot home team over the slumping road team in this one. We will grab the home team at a very fair small favorite price on the money line in this one and bet San Francisco Giants -120
