Premium Pick

Atlanta snapped a two-game skid with a 4-2 win over Oakland on Friday that featured a two-run double by Jarred Kelenic and the Athletics lost their third in a row and fell to 10-20 on the road. The Braves are 18-11 at home and will start Chris Sale, who has been even better than hoped for this season as he is 8-1 with a 2.12 ERA and an 0.85 WHIP. Atlanta has won his past seven starts overall and his past six home starts. Sale has allowed only 15 runs in 63 2/3 innings with 78 strikeouts. Oakland batters are a combined 1-for-16 against him. Aaron Brooks has made three starts this season and allowed 11 runs (seven earned) on 22 hits in 17 1/3 innings. Atlanta is 32-20 UNDER this year and the Athletics have gone UNDER five of six. The UNDER is 7-0 in the Braves' past seven games versus teams with below .400 winning percentages and Oakland is 7-0 UNDER in Brooks' past seven games as an underdog. Take the Braves as a Max Play and the UNDER.
