The Atlanta Braves looked like they would sweep the Phillies but were denied late. The Chicago White Sox were swept by the Tigers in three games decided by a run. The Braves finished with the best record in baseball last season after winning 104 games. Morton faced the White Sox once last season, going 1-0 in that start. The white Sox lost over 100 games last season and look on their way to doing it again as they were swept by the Tigers. Flexen struggled on the mound last season and I expect him to struggle against this Braves lineup. The White Sox have struggled at the plate and I don’t see them doing a lot of damage off Morton. Morton has won all four of his starts against Chicago, allowing a total of seven runs. I like Atlanta’s offense against Flexen and Morton should pitch well enough for Atlanta to win by more than one run.

Play on Atlanta, Minus 1.5 runs. This is a 3% play.
