#925 ASA PLAY ON Atlanta Braves -140 over Houston Astros, Wednesday at 2:10 PM ET - As we mentioned yesterday, these two teams, in recent years, have annually been two of the top teams in the majors.  But the fact remains that Houston is off to a very rough start this season and not really showing any signs of turning things around yet. That being said, there is a lot of value here with the Braves even at a moderate price on the road as they have a huge starting pitching edge.  Max Fried had an unusually rough pair of the outings but this guy long-term has been great and he bounced back in this last start and forced a lot of ground balls plus got strikeouts and Fried absolutely looks back on track. For JP France, there is nothing of the sort.  France is consistently regressing in each start and now will be making his 4th start of the year.  He has an 8.22 ERA so far.  You can see why we like the Braves at a moderate price on the road even though the Astros have been one of the best teams in baseball in 6 of the last 7 seasons. The covid season was the lone outlier.  As for this season however, Houston is 6-13 and has lost 6 of 8.  Though the 2 wins in this recent 2-6 stretch were solid, the 5 most recent losses were by a combined score of 48 to 16 and we like the Braves to roll here.  Atlanta has won 8 of 11 games and is already 7-3 on the road this season as well.  Braves off the 6-1 win Monday and another 6-2 win here in Houston last night and do it again here.  Lay it!
