The Atlanta Braves are supposed to be in rebuilding mode, but have gotten off to an encouraging 6-3 start. They will look for win #7 behind the strong arm of Julio Teheran, who has been a top-of-the-rotation pitcher for the Braves, and continues to impress. Teheran is out of the gate at 2-0 backed by a strong 1.50 ERA. Toronto not only lost three of four to Tampa Bay, they also lost Jose Reyes, who was off to a good start, as he left the last game with an oblique injury in the very first inning. Drew Hutchison could not get out of the fifth inning in his last start vs. Baltimore, where he allowed a career-tying high 7 runs, The Braves own seven wins in the last 10 meetings, and appear to be in good shape here behind Teheran. Take Atlanta.
