AAA's 10* Afternoon N.L. UNDERDOG OF MONTH!
(MLB) Washington vs. Atlanta,
Money Line: 177.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* N.L. UNDERDOG OF THE MONTH on the Atlanta Braves.

The Nats are expected to once again compete for the division crown, while the Braves are in a re-building year. Washington hands the ball to Max Scherzer who looked good in spring training, posting a 1.38 ERA and 17:5 K:BB through 13 innings. The Braves counter with Julio Teheran who tossed four scoreless innings in his second appearance of the spring Monday afternoon against Tampa Bay (Teheran needed just 35 pitches to record the 12 outs Monday). Teheran was particularly effective at home last year, going 8-2 with a 2.89 ERA. Scherzer was 9-5 with a 2.20 ERA on the road. We have a couple of horses matching off in the respective openers for both teams and we won't try to convince you that Atlanta is the better team, we simply feel that these hurlers are more evenly matched than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe and that on opening day, the value has swung to the home side in this matchup. We like the BRAVES and Teheran to find a way to manage an upset at the end of the night.
