The Braves are back home and in a great spot to bounce back in a big way—and we’re riding them to cover the spread against a Blue Jays team that’s had trouble keeping up. Max Fried gets the start for Atlanta, and he’s been nothing but solid against Toronto in his career—just one run allowed in each of his two starts vs. the Jays. He’s locked in right now and gets a favorable matchup at home to keep that momentum rolling.

Atlanta’s offense has been reliable, and they’ve got the arms behind Fried to close the door. The Braves bullpen has held hitters to a .359 slugging percentage, one of the best in baseball, and they’ll be facing a Jays lineup that’s struggled in those late-inning spots—ranking near the bottom in slugging against relief pitchers. Add in the home crowd, the bounce-back energy, and a clear edge on the mound, and this feels like a spot where Atlanta controls the pace from start to finish.

We’re backing the Braves to cover the run line and handle business at Truist. Let’s cash it.
