Rogers' 3-Game SWEEPER PASS
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Atlanta,
Money Line: -148.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Loss
The set-up: This one has "blowout" written all over it. The massive talent-gap on the mound tonight makes Sean Newcomb and the hard-hitting home side well worth the price of admission. The visitors hand the ball to Diego Castillo.

The pitchers: Castillo is so far 3-2 with a 3.23 ERA. Castillo has been decent in his limited time on the mound, but so far the rookie has been under a strict pitch count each time he's gone to the hill. And that won't change here either in this difficult National League venue.

Newcomb is so far 11-6 with a 3.57 ERA. He most recently allowed two hits while striking out eight over six scoreless in a victory over the Marlins on Thursday. Newcomb had struggled previous to this outing, but the southpaw definitely got back on track with this latest effort.

The pick: Note as well that Newcomb has been "lights out" in this spot all season with an 8-3, 2.77 ERA in all "night" games. I believe Castillo gets the hook early and I look for Newcomb to build off his last start. Play on the Braves.
