This is an 8* play on the Atlanta Braves.

We think the hard-hitting Braves and Julio Teheran offer excellent value in this underdog role. Teheran (4-1, 4.17 ERA) posted an unsustainable 1.24 ERA and 0.86 WHIP with 30 strikeouts over 29 innings, before then coming back down to Earth by allowing ten earned runs over his last 11 innings of work. Teheran has to be feeling confident in this spot though as note that he's a super 3-1 with a 2.89 ERA on the road thus far. The home side counters with Eduardo Rodriguez (4-1, 4.13) who gave up no runs off nine hits while striking out seven over 5.2 innings Sunday to earn a victory over Baltimore. Rodriguez has for the most part been sharp this year, we will however point out that he has a rather pedestrian 4.76 ERA in front of the home town crowd this year. We think that Teheran can easily match pace with Rodriguez inning for inning and in a situation like that, we absolutely believe that the value swings to the underdog. Play on the BRAVES.
