MLB Betting Trends

Atlanta

The Braves are 9-2 in their last 11 against a team with a losing record and 12-5 in their last 17 road games.

Washington

The Nationals have won six straight against NL East opponents and Sanchez’ last five starts.

Prediction:

Sanchez hasn’t been great at getting deep into games due to some high walk counts, but he is rolling right now. He has given up just four earned runs over his last 24.2 innings of work. That includes just four walks. Foltynewicz has struggled as of late, allowing at least three runs in eight of his last 10 starts. Atlanta is also just 3-7 in his 10 starts. Look for Washington to stay hot at the plate while Sanchez continues his hot streak against the Braves.

MLB Prediction: Washington Nationals -120
