5* Play of the Day
(MLB) St. Louis vs. Atlanta,
Money Line: -110.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Win
We are rolling with the Braves at home here, as Julio Teheran has been turning things around lately after a slow start to the season. Teheran has been great in his last two starts, allowing one run over 12 innings, and he has a 2.88 ERA over his past four outings
He currently holds a 4.26 ERA, however his lifetime ERA is 3.67, so we are starting to see him turn the corner and live up to the potential.
Going for the Cards is Adam Wainwright, who is 37-years-old, has actually pitched decent this year given his age. However, he still allows a lot of base runners, which has caused him issues. In 43 IP he has allowed 40 hits and 14 walks, and in perspective that is 54 base runners in 43.1 IP, which is over a base runner an inning. Not to mention looking over the last 3 years, he has a road ERA 6.45. Look for the Braves bats to take advantage and grab the home win.
