MLB | Atlanta 1 @ Oakland 2 | 05/31 | 1:40 AM UTC
Atlanta -1.5 -140
ANALYSIS: The Braves have an easier schedule in game two, after playing at 5pm local time on Monday, just hours after the Sunday night game in Atlanta finished. JP Sears has been improving over his last few starts, but faces a Braves lineup that is ranked #1 in OPS vs LHP in May, with an eye popping 1.092 OPS, .358 avg and 18 HR. Sears has allowed five HR's in his last four starts, and four HR's at home this year. Bryce Elder has five straight starts of two or less runs allowed, with three quality starts in there. He consistently gets into the 6th inning and should do so again vs the A's.
