Atlanta Braves over Tampa Bay Rays: Give Tb all the credit in the world. A scrappy hard nose team that never quits. 9 games over 500 they are a huge surprise. Manager Kevin Cash thinks outside the box and he deserves the attention because it has worked with a team on a very tight budget. Tb has won 8 in a row and it is not often I go against hot teams especially laying a price. However Tb has a big home/away dichotomy. They are only 29-37 on the road. This will be another bullpen game for Tb. Stanek will start and likely go a max of 2 inngs. Teheran is inconsistent however at this price he is worth the risk. He has been in good form for awhile. Teheran has a BAA of 199 when he is on his stuff is nasty. We also have an AL team in a NL park so they lose the DH which is an adv for Atl. I rate the offenses equal we get a small adv in starting pitching and the bullpen. I have this game at 1.56 giving us excellent value.
