THE INSIDERS ROOM'S 10* TOP CONSENSUS SIDE PLAY (OFF B2B 2-1 SHOWINGS!)
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Atlanta,
Money Line: -140.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* TOP CONSENSUS SIDE PLAY on the Braves.

This has been a competitve interleague series, but one of these pitchers has fared well in this situation, while the other has struggled mightily.

Both Ryan Yarbough of the Rays and Max Fried of the Braves enter this one off strong opening outings.

Yarbough (0-0, 0.00 ERA) went five scoreless vs. the Jays. True he was 11-6 with a 4.13 ERA for Tampa in 2019, but note that Yarbough is a poor 1-4 with a 5.74 ERA in all interleague starts.

Fried (0-0, 3.60) gave up two runs over five innings while also striking out five in 5-3 win over the Mets. And note, Fried has excelled in interleague action by going 3-0 with a 2.55 ERA.

Throw in the park familiarity factor and we think we're getting great value on the home side; lay it.

Good luck, NP
