Schule's 10* MLB Total Recall TERMINATOR - *EARLY START*
(MLB) Washington vs. Atlanta, 06/30/2015 3:10 PM, Score: 6 - 1
Total: 7.00 | -105.00 Over
Result: Push
This is a 10* play on WAS@ATL to go UNDER the total.

The Atlanta Braves have lost five of their last six, and they failed to score more than two runs in five of those games. Runs might be far and few between here in tonight's series opener versus Washington, in what looks like it should be a pitcher's duel.

Shelby Miller will toe the slab for the Braves, and he's been as good as anyone this season. Miller (5-3, 1.94 ERA) allowed one run on three hits over seven innings in a no decision at Washington his last time out. It wasn't the first time he shut down the Nats, he was 2-0 with a 0.73 in four starts versus Washington over the last three seasons.

The Nats hand the ball to Jordan Zimmerman, who has had success against Atlanta. Zimmerman (5-5, 3.42 ERA) tossed eight scoreless innings in a 2-1 home win over Atlanta opposite Miller last week. He's 1-0 with a 2.57 ERA in three starts versus Atlanta this season, and he was 2-1 with a 2.83 ERA in six starts against the Braves over the previous three seasons.

The Braves rank 26th in the majors in runs scored versus left-handed pitching, and they have a team batting average of just .236 versus southpaws.

Take UNDER.
