Expert Picks
Sometimes I like to play contrarian when at least two of my fellow experts pick a game, but I have to agree on this one with Zack and John. Braves right-hander Ian Anderson is an absolute stud and getting Atlanta at just -135 is good value. He held the Phils to a run on four hits over five last Sunday.
The Braves used a strong fifth inning Friday, scoring three runs, to pull away from the Phillies. It marked Atlanta's third win a row, as the Braves are starting to resemble the team of last season. Expect their confidence to remain high and for the Braves to avenge Sunday's loss to Eflin. Play the Braves.
Ian Anderson allowed just one run in five innings as his pitch count was elevated in his first start of the season against the Phillies. Zach Eflin allowed one run in seven innings against the Braves in his first start, and he has serious home/road splits. He is 17-14 with a 3.99 ERA in his career at home but a completely different pitcher at 12-19 with a 5.21 ERA on the road. The Braves bats are awake, take them at home.
