Schule's MLB MONDAY NIGHT PRIMTIME PUNISHER - ATL@CIN
(MLB) Atlanta vs. Cincinnati, 05/11/2015 3:10 PM, Score: 2 - 1
Point Spread: 1.50 | -165.00 Atlanta (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Atlanta Braves +1.5.

The Braves were swept in Washington over the weekend, and they begin a new series in Cincinnati on Monday night. We could see a pitcher's duel in this game, with a pair of hot starters facing off against each other.

Shelby Miller will toe the slab for the Braves, and he's sporting some impressive numbers so far. Miller (4-1, 1.66 ERA) tossed a complete game shutout, striking out eight in a home win over the Phillies his last time out. His only loss of the season came against the Reds, but he pitched well in that game, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits while fanning nine in seven innings. He's 2-1 with a 3.97 ERA in four starts at Cincinnati in his career.

The Reds hand the ball to Mike Leake, who is also coming off a win in his last start. Leake (2-1, 2.47 ERA) tossed eight scoreless innings in each of his last two starts, both of those on the road. He hasn't been as good at home, where he's winless with a 4.26 ERA in two starts this season. He has better numbers on the road than he does at home dating back the last three seasons.

Cincinnati has won just five of Leake's last 16 starts, and only one of his last five home starts.

Take ATL.
