The read

Look, if you've been around the block as long as I have, you know when a pitching mismatch is hiding in plain sight—and Holmes' tidy ERA (3.78) and stingy .205 BAA give Atlanta a real edge over Pfaadt, whose bloated ERA (5.05) and high .271 BAA scream trouble against a Braves lineup with three hitters north of .270. Atlanta's got enough juice in Baldwin (.315) and Riley (.270) to capitalize on Pfaadt's hittability, and Holmes' ability to limit traffic (1.17 WHIP) should keep those Arizona bats honest. The Braves may have a losing record, but at home with this pitching matchup, I see them breaking through and winning by more than a run—if you’ve got the guts to ride with me, the plus money on the run line is where the smart play lives.
