Atlanta Braves –117 (vs Cincinnati Reds)
Shelby Miller vs Mike Leake
The Braves got beaten badly in the hands of the Nationals, but have a good shot at a bounce back game at home vs the Reds. The Braves have been batting well, but the defensive play has let them down. Luckily, the Reds are not the heavy hitters that the Nationals were, and pitching rotation is favorable for the Braves. Shelby Miller is projected to have a quality start, which will put the Braves ahead early on. AccuScore simulations have the Braves winning 61.9 percent of the games, which would equal to hefty odds of around -145.
