Toronto has lost three in a row, all by more than one run, and are ranked #27 in baseball in runs scored and #24 in on-base percentage. Starter Hyun Jin Ryu (8.00 ERA) is winless and not cutting in the AL. He's off a loss to Washington allowing five runs in 4+ innings, and the Blue Jays are 21-49 after batting .225 or worse over a five-game span. Atlanta has plenty of offensive power, tops in the league in runs scored, ninth in on-base percentage, and fifth in homers. Starter Sean Newcomb goes here, and his team is 14-2 when he starts against opponents whose hitters draw three walks or less per game. The Braves are 26-7 against teams that average 2.75 or fewer extra-base hits per contest, and the wagering value is for them to win this matchup by more than a run. Take Atlanta on the runline.
