T.M. Selection: Braves/Cardinals UNDER.

I am on the under in the Atlanta Braves vs St Louis Cardinals game on Saturday. The Braves have looked really good in their games lately, destroying every team in their path right now, and they haven't been staying under in a lot of their games but I think this is going to be a game that is a lot closer and lower in score. The Cardinals haven't been staying under in a lot of their games lately either but, they have also been very hot lately and I see them putting up a much better fight here at home after that big loss to the Braves last night. Jordan Montgomery (7-3, 3.08 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has looked great in his starts ever since getting traded to St Louis. He has started in 4 games for the Cardinals now and he has pitched 5+ innings in every game while giving up just 1 run total in the 4 starts. He also just had a start where he gave up no runs in 9 innings pitched against the Cubs, and he has been shutting down some good offenses in his starts lately. Charlie Morton (6-5, 3.99 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he has been having a very rough year pitching but, he has been improving a lot in his starts lately. He has been allowing less runs in his starts lately and he has given up 2 runs or less in 3/4 of his previous 4 starts. Both of these teams are fighting for the playoffs right now and I see this game being much closer than that blow out yesterday. I think both starters are going to pitch well here and go deep into the game to give their teams the best chance at winning. I like the under in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Cardinals.
