Record: 31-38-2
Braves -1 1/2 -105
Despite the Nationals having the upper hand in the season series against the Braves, taking five out of seven games, the scenario looks favorable for Atlanta today. They're starting Max Fried, who has been exceptional on the road this season, posting a 4-1 record with a 2.62 ERA. Fried is also in excellent form, having allowed just three earned runs across his last three starts, and he can rely on one of the stronger bullpens in the league for late-game support. The Nationals counter with rookie left-hander DJ Hertz, who struggled in his major league debut, yielding four runs over four innings. While there's always a chance he settle in after getting his first start out of the way, betting on such a turnaround against a strong Atlanta lineup might be risky. Given the Braves' success against left-handed pitching this season, and Fried's current form, backing Atlanta to cover the -1 1/2 run line offers some solid value.
Good Luck!
