Houston at Atlanta

Atlanta is coming on strong just as it did in 2021, and the Braves now have won 11 of 12 after their 5-4 victory over the Astros on Saturday with two runs in the bottom of the 11th. Houston has lost four of its last six and oddly has scored only 14 runs in five of the games which were sandwiched around a 21-run outburst on Thursday against the White Sox. Charlie Morton comes off 6 2/3 scoreless innings on three hits in a 5-0 win over the Mets on Tuesday, and the Braves lead the Majors with 42 saves. Jose Urquidy has a 4.41 ERA on the road compared to 2.87 at home. Atlanta is 29-10 after scoring at least five runs in their previous game, and it has won 36 of its past 51 home games. The Braves have won five of the last six meetings and seven of their past eight interleague home games overall. Back the Braves for a Max Play.
