Braves vs. Brewers

BEST BET: Braves at the moneyline with BetRivers (+115)

We took the Braves yesterday at some pretty long odds and we were looking good until some late heroics from the Brewers gave them the first game of the series. That hasn't deterred us, though, and we're going back to the well with Atlanta still in with a chance to head back to their home turf with the series tied up.

As far as pitching matchups go, on current form this one is a bit like comparing apples and oranges. Atlanta's Max Fried is 9-1 in his last ten starts with an obscene 0.39 ERA in his last three alone. Brandon Woodruff on the other hand has lost four games on the run. The Braves will need to step it up on offense, but they'll be given the best possible lead in during the early stages of this one.

BEST PROP: Max Fried OVER 4.5 Strikeouts with BetRivers (-112)

Fried is playing out of his mind right now and you would be a fool to ignore him. The Atlanta ace has hit this mark in seven of his last nine games registering four in the two that he did miss. We've seen a vast majority of the postseason games go under so far this week, meaning extended innings for the pitchers. You'll get some great value out of this play.
