The first 8* pick of our DOUBLE DOG DESTRUCTION package is on the Atlanta Braves.
Atlanta finally cooled down the Pirates' bats yesterday and we think it has a fantastic shot at taking two in a row. Interim manager Brian Snitker earned his first win after moving up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday to replace Fredi Gonzalez in yesterday's 3-1 effort: "It's a good team win," Snitker said. "It's good all around. We caught the ball well and Julio just kind of fed off of all the runs he got and just did a great job." Now the Braves will look to make it two in a row and take advantage of the erratic Jeff Locke (1-3, 5.45 ERA) who after posting three straight quality starts, would once again took a major step back in Saturday's 8-2 setback to the Cubs, getting blasted for six runs off six hits over 5 1/3's innings. Locke's strikeout-to-walk ratio is now a NL-worst 1.19. And unfortunately for Locke, a date vs. the Braves is not what the doctor ordered to get back on track as he owns a deplorable 6.31 ERA and 1.87 WHIP in his last five vs. them. Atlanta counters with Mike Foltynewicz (1-1, 2.89) who has made three starts since coming up from Triple-A Gwinnet, getting progressively better in each. He'd last just 3 2/3's innings and gave up four runs in his season debut, but was dramatically better over his next two, going seven innings and giving up two runs on five hits with eight K's in a 5-3, 11 innings loss to the Diamondbacks on May 8th, before then tossing eight scoreless frames in a 5-0 win at Kansas City on Saturday. The value is simply too good to turn down in this matchup, play on the BRAVES.
