Prediction
The Braves are having an awful first half and there doesn’t seem to be signs of them turning it around. Atlanta has dropped nine of 11 overall and are nine games off the final NL Wild Card spot. In their last nine games, Atlanta has been at least a -155 favorite and they’ve won just two of those, making them -33.00 units on the season. Fuentes has not bee good in his three starts and needed 92 pitches last time out to get just 3 2/3 innings. Springs has allowed three earned runs or less in nine of his last 10 starts and has the edge in this one.
Pick: Athletics -102
