MLB Betting Trends
Toronto
The Blue Jays are just 4-12 in their last 16 road games and 2-5 in Stroman’s last seven starts.
Atlanta
The Braves have won 7 of their last 10 interleague games against a losing team and they are 11-4 in their last 15 home games against a right-handed starter.
Prediction:
The Braves are coming off a lengthy road trip and I expect them to have a boost in their step by returning home tonight. Stroman has been giving up runs in big chunks this year and lately. Teheran has been alternating good starts with bad and is coming off a poor start. Look for him to have a better start tonight against Toronto as Atlanta gets a win.
The Pick: Atlanta Braves -125
