#952 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Atlanta Braves -1.5 on the Run Line (+110) over Arizona Diamondbacks, Thursday at 12:20 PM ET - The Braves have now lost 4 straight games.  The last time the Braves had a losing season was 2017 and, ironically, that is also the last time that Atlanta has had a losing streak of more than 4 games!  In other words, it has been over 5 YEARS since Atlanta has had a losing streak of at least 5 GAMES!  The Braves are 33-20 this season when facing teams that have a winning record at the time of the match-up.  Conversely, the Diamondbacks are 26-27 this season against teams with a winning record.  Also, Arizona is just 13-14 against teams from the NL East while the Braves are a fantastic 40-16 against all NL teams this season!  In terms of the pitching edge here, the Braves Spencer Strider is 11-3 with a 3.66 ERA this season.  The Diamondbacks Zac Gallen has equally impressive overall numbers but there is one key factor about his numbers.  Gallen has been Jekyll and Hyde in terms of his road versus home performances.  This season on the road Gallen is 2-4 with a 5.11 ERA.  Atlanta will respond here as their bullpen is still ranked #1 in NL and #3 in majors while the Dbacks ERA ranks their bullpen 19th in the majors.  Atlanta was on a 36-14 (.720) run their last 50 games prior to this rare 0-4 stretch.  26 of last 31 Braves wins have come by at least a 2-run margin so we have no hesitation in laying the 1.5 runs.  The Diamondbacks have lost 12 of 20 games and 8 of last 9 losses have been by at least 2 runs.  Considering all this trending and situational advantage and the home field edge and the fact Atlanta has the #1 bullpen in the NL while Arizona ranks in the middle of the pack, you can see why we are expecting a home blowout here.  The hosts should roll big in this one.   We're getting some nice value laying -1.5 in this one at a price in the +110 comeback range with the Braves. Lay the 1.5 runs here!
