Atlanta may get a slight online wagering advantage because of New York’s injuries. Furthermore, the Braves have credibility as 3-time defending NL East champions.

Atlanta Braves Team Overview

Late on, the Braves won four of their last five games. Only one of those five games stayed under the total. Atlanta is 23-24 straight up, 18-29 vs. the run line, and 25-20-2 over the total. In sum, the Braves rank 8th for run production and 18th for staff earned run average.

Right-hander Charlie Morton is the probable Braves starter. So far, Morton is 2-2 with a 4.60 earned run average and 1.289 WHIP. Atlanta is 2-5 in Morton’s seven starts. Of major concern is Atlanta’s 22nd ranked bullpen.
