We will be on the Atlanta Braves here, taking them at minus 104 on the First 5 innings line. As we have noted before in certain games we don't want to be messing with the beyond bad bullpens of MLB and in this situation we are happy to go with the Braves starter LH Max Fried (8-3, 4.03 ERA) as he goes up against Cubs rookie RH Adbert Alzolay (1-0, 2.25 ERA). Fried has struggled lately but had a quality start his last turn against the Mets. In his only start of the season against these Cubs, he allowed no runs in 6 innings. We will look for a similar result tonight from the 25yr old lefty. As for Alzolay, he will be making his first MLB start tonight. He has pitched 4 innings in his young MLB career last week in relief, however starting at Wrigley Field can be a very different proposition for a 24 yr old rookie and we like the Braves to get enough runs to win the First 5 innings in this spot. So lets get the job done with the Atlanta Braves First 5 innings as your free play for today.
