(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Atlanta,
Money Line: -124.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Braves (8* MONEY-MAKER).

Michael Wacha (2-2, 4.87 ERA) has been decent, not great for the Rays this year. Tampa is putting together another strong season, as it enters the second half with a 53-37 record, but I think that the correct call is on the 44-45 Braves, who have considerable ground to make up in the second half, and who will have to do it without the services of slugger Ronald Acuna Jr., who tore his ACL. Charlie Morton (8-3, 3.64) has been great this year after a slow start for the Braves, as he has a 114:33 K/BB over 99 frames of work. He most recently went seven scoreless in a win over the Marlins (8 K's.) Lay the short price on the much hungrier home side!

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Atlanta.
