#929 ASA PLAY ON Atlanta Braves -1.5 on the Run Line (-125) over Los Angeles Angels, Saturday at 9:38 PM ET - The Braves expected to start Chris Sale in this one and the Angels are likely trotting out Griffin Canning to the mound for this one. Sale is 13-3 with a 2.61 ERA this season. Canning is 4-10 with a 5.11 ERA on the year. Sale is off an outing in which he threw 7 scoreless innings on the road and he has now allowed a total of only 13 earned runs in his last 10 road starts! Canning has allowed 4 earned runs or more in 7 of his last 11 starts. In addition to the starting pitching edge here for Atlanta, the Braves are seeking to bounce back from a 3-2 loss yesterday here in Anaheim. The Braves are now off B2B road losses but this followed wins in 8 of 11 away from home. Atlanta has not lost more than 2 straight road games since two months ago - all the way back in the middle of June! The Braves had scored 6.3 runs per game in their 8-3 run on the road prior to these B2B losses. We look for them to bounce back strong here against Canning and the hosts will not be able to keep up. This is an Angels team that has averaged only 2.9 runs scored per game in their last 7 games. Los Angeles is on a 5-9 run in home games and has scored only 2.4 runs per game in their last 9 games played here in Anaheim. The Angels bullpen ERA ranks in the bottom half of the majors while the Braves bullpen ERA is among the top 3 teams in the majors! The Braves are 22-13 in interleague action this season and 51 of their 64 wins on the season have come by 2 or more runs. Lay the run line in this one!
