Result: Win
#908 ASA PLAY ON Atlanta Braves -1.5 on the Run Line (+100) over Miami Marlins, Friday at 7:15 PM ET - The Braves are 0-7 to start the season but all their games were on the road and they faced the Padres and Dodgers! Those are two very tough teams and, in fact, are a combined 15-0 so far this season! The Braves now finally face a weaker team and plus this is Atlanta's home opener. Seeing Atlanta, at 0-7, favored by more than a -200 price might surprise some but we fully expected this. Of course the Braves are much better than their record shows plus they have a decided pitching edge here. Max Meyer gets the start for the Marlins and he is off a strong start in his first outing this season. However, Meyer still only has 14 games of MLB experience and he is 3-6 with a 5.50 ERA in those outings. Spencer Schwellenbach starts for the Braves here and he was fantastic in his first start and that was on the road too against a tough San Diego team. The Braves right-hander has a 3.19 ERA and has held opponents to a .220 batting average in his 22 MLB starts. If you look at stats so far this season you will see that Miami has the better numbers but, entering this season the Marlins were projected to lose about 100 games this season while the Braves had a season win total that projected them to only lose about 59 games! The Braves take advantage of home field and a big starting pitching edge and they get that much needed first win. We have no hesitation in laying the 1.5 with the run line as we project a home blowout here!
