This is a 5* RUN-LINE DESTRUCTION on the Atlanta Braves.

Atlanta has a big opportunity to take this one outright, as we think these pitchers are very evenly matched. However, we're going to recommend laying the price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance with the sometimes offensively challenged Braves.

Julio Teheran: He faced the Mets in his season opener and went six scoreless, allowing four hits and three walks while striking out six in the unfortunate no-decision. Teheran was 7-10 with a 3.21 ERA last season and was particularly effective both on the road (5-4, 2.69 ERA) and in all "day" games (4-2, 2.14).

Gerrit Cole: He had a strong spring but was rocked in his first start of the year in Boston on Monday, giving up five runs off seven hits and a walk while striking out two in the loss. Note that Cole wasn't particularly impressive in this spot last year, going 2-5 with a 3.53 ERA at home and a poor 2-5 with a 4.21 ERA in all "day" games.

The bottom line: In a contest which we foresee being decided late or in extra frames, we're going to lay the price for the extra runs. Play on ATLANTA on the RUN-LINE.
