00:00The two top teams in the National League face off in Los Angeles. Teams 3 and 4, at least

00:11from a record perspective, face off this week starting today in Atlanta. The Braves host

00:16the Brewers. Minus 132, the number in favor of Atlanta. A total of 9 today in the ATL.

00:22What do you like between the Braves and the Brew Crew?

00:25I think the Atlanta Braves deserve to be a favorite here of at least 125 or higher, which

00:28they are at the FanDuel Sportsbook. Take a look at Colin Reyes on the mound. He's been

00:31dominant as the right-handed pitcher against left-handed batters, but struggling a bit

00:35against right-handed batters. But if you are looking at the past 30 days for this Braves

00:38lineup, it is starting to improve against right-handed pitching. Above average ISO power

00:43numbers, Austin Riley, Marcel Zuna, Matt Olsen, Orlando Arcea, Jerry Kelenic, Whit Merrifield.

00:49How about that, believe it or not? A 222 ISO against right-handed pitching. And also, if

00:53we're looking at Bryce Elder, usually it's like, oh, I hope maybe like a Chris Hales

00:57on the mound today. Not the case. But he hasn't been bad overall, because if we are

01:01checking out his statistics over the past 60 days, an 82 XFIF minus, the ERA is a little

01:05bit high, but his XFIF number, 3.31, Sierra 3.52, all manageable. And you take a look

01:10at that lineup, which leaves a lot to be desired at times for Milwaukee. Now, granted, are

01:15they both frontline pitchers? No, they're not. You are playing Atlanta. It's going to

01:19be muggy tonight in the high 80s, slight wind blowing out. So it's always tempting to take

01:24those overs, but it does take 10 runs to beat you tonight. I don't know if that's going

01:27to happen, but I do think the stronger play to me is, I think Atlanta handles their business

01:31tonight and knocks off Milwaukee. I would take that money line.
