Monday’s are a great day in baseball to attack value angles off of Sunday series. The Atlanta Braves continue to under perform where they are now 1-9 in road games. They also lost Sunday with their lead ace Chris Sale on the mound to the Tampa Bay Rays. Traveling to Toronto oddsmakers have not swayed their beliefs on the Braves for game one against Toronto. Starter Easton Lucas has been brilliant in two starts but has not went beyond 5 1/3 innings yet. Look for the Braves to possibly rattle him for an inning and finish the job against the Blue Jays pen. Take Atlanta.

No weather concerns in Toronto so this seems at least a half-run high even if I'm not sold on either starting pitcher in the Braves' Grant Holmes or Jays' Easton Lucas. That said, Lucas hasn't allowed an earned run in 10.1 innings. Atlanta is 29th in the majors in runs scored. No Braves batters have seen Lucas in a RS game. Few Jays batters have seen Holmes. That usually bodes well the first time through the lineup.
