Braves vs. Brewers

BEST BET: Braves at the moneyline with BetRivers (+143)

Atlanta enter this series in hot form with a pitcher who is in just as good as touch. Having won eight of their last nine games, they'll be feeling confident of stealing Game 1, even on the road. Charlie Morton will be the man given first go at it on the bump and he has been impressive, having not conceded a run in his past two games. Milwaukee have had a rollercoaster year, never really getting any consistent momentum to make us think they'll do any real damage in this postseason. The underdog play looks the goods here.

BEST PROP: Freddie Freeman to hit a home run with BetRivers (+450)

Freddie is our man to go yard in this game, having some nice hitting form coming into the postseason. The Braves slugger has registered a hit in six of his last seven. While that hasn't yet translated to any HRs or RBIs, it's only a matter of time if he has his eye in like this.
