Atlanta Braves ML (-125): The Nationals have been given the tough task of slowing down the scorching Braves. After a let down yesterday, I expect the Braves to get back in the win column today. Patrick Corbin is more than capable for the Nationals, but this young Braves lineup is just too deep for me not to believe in.
Toronto Blue Jays ML (-140): The logic on this one is quite simple: The Blue Jays are a better team with a more experienced pitcher and deeper lineup. The Red Sox have had a tough season and I don’t see today being a bright spot for them as they send out the once promising Andrew Triggs to slow down the Blue Jays. Triggs has only pitched a few innings since missing all of last season for thoracic outlet syndrome and as unfortunate as it is, guys just usually aren’t the same after. Robbie Ray has had his own struggles, but a change of scenery and momentum could be all he needed to get back on track.
Philadelphia Phillies ML (+136): This game should be a lot of fun with two of the best pitchers in the league going head to head. Anytime I can get Aaron Nola on the mound with plus odds, I’m taking it. The Phillies are going up against Jacob deGrom which is never an easy task, but look for them to bounce back after a disappointing day at the plate yesterday.
