This is an 8* play on the Atlanta Braves.

The Braves pulled off the 2-1 home win as a slight dog yesterday and we think they offer great value in this spot as well. The visitors hand the ball to Nick Pivetta (1-0, 2.70 ERA) who gave up two runs off five hits and no walks with seven K's over seven innings in a no-decision against the soft-hitting Reds on Wednesday. Pivetta has looked good in back-to-back starts and he's walked just one batter in that span, but note that he had 57 walks (3.9 BB/9) in a shaky 2017 which saw him go 8-10 with a ballooned 6.02 ERA. The home side counters with Mike Foltynewicz (1-1, 2.93) who gave up three runs (two earned) off five hits over five innings in a loss to Washington on Tuesday. It was a tough matchup and Foltynewicz was serviceable in the setback. Note that he was particularly effective in this spot last year by posting a respectable 3.95 ERA at home. Note that Philadelphia is already a terrible 5-6 (-2.1 units) against right-handed starters, while ATL is 8-5 (+5.6 units) against right-handed starters. The BRAVES are mashing the ball of late and we expect that trend to carry over here.
