Premium Pick

Atlanta had won all of Spencer Strider's seven starts in 2023 until Friday when the Braves lost 3-0 to Toronto, but it wasn't his fault as he allowed only one earned run on five hits in 6 2/3 innings to lower his ERA to 2.51 with a 0.92 WHIP. Strider has done his best work on the road where he is 3-1 with a 1.90 ERA and .171 opponent batting average and the Braves are 16-7 on the road compared to 10-9 at home. Also, Atlanta's bullpen owns a 1.23 WHIP with 10 saves. The Braves will need a good outing from Strider as they're up against Nathan Eovaldi, who has been a hot pitcher recently as he hasn't given up a run his past three starts. However, he has a 4.26 at home with a .260 opponent batting average as opposed to 1.83 and .213 on the road. Atlanta is 24-8 its past 32 games against starters with WHIPs of less than 1.15.
