Premium Pick

This matchup is too even for one team to be laying -140. Atlanta is 28-29 on the road and Cincinnati is 27-28 at home. Chuck James (4.15 road ERA) and Aarron Harang (5.20 home ERA) have performed about evenly this season. Atlanta's bullpen has a 5.11 road ERA while Cincinnati's boasts a 5.73 home ERA. Atlanta has the edge offensively, scoring 5.6 per game on the road while Cincinnati manages just 4.9 per game at home. Both teams are strugglilng right now as both are 2-5 in their last seven games. But, three of those losses for the Braves came against a very good Mets team on the road. Cincinnati has lost five straight including two against Milwaukee and three against the Dodgers. Edge again to Atlanta. I see a lot of small edges for Atlanta here and to boot we are getting them as a decent dog. Braves in this one.
