T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves -1.5

I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Oakland A's on Wednesday. This will be the second of a short two games series between these two teams. The Braves are the much better team, everywhere on the field. They will start the young Spencer Strider (9-4, 2.67 ERA) who has been absolutely dominant this season. It couldn't have been better for Strider last time out, as he pitched 8 shutout innings, with 16 strikeouts! Looking at the A's, they'll start Ken Waldichuk (0-0, 1.93 ERA.) In one start this season, he was alright, pitching 4.2 innings and giving up a run. But that was against a Washington Nationals team that is falling to shreds. This Braves lineup is filled with talent from top to bottom and I'm expecting them to close this series out with another comfortable win. Don't be surprised if this Atlanta team goes back to back. Especially knowing they didn't have Ronald Acuna Jr in last years playoff run. This team looks scary if you ask me. Take the Braves and expect a blowout.

T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Braves
