(MLB) Washington vs. Atlanta, 08/17/2013 3:10 PM, Score: 8 - 7
Money Line: -111.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Loss
Taking the BRAVES here. Can't beat ATL at this price. Braves red hot, winners of 8 of 10, 20 of their last 26. They are 20-7 in Minor's last 27 starts. ATL 5-2 last 7 vs Strasburgh, 7-3 last 10 vs Nats in Atlanta and 14-3 last 17 vs Washington overall. Nats 1-5 in Strasburgh's last 6 starts. They are 1-11 last 12 vs teams with winning records. You would think that Washington is smacking itself silly for shutting this kid down last year when they had a shot at the playoffs. This team is very disappointing. Strasburgh on the road has been a mere mortal. 1-5 4.88 ERA in 10 starts compared to a 1.58 ERA at home. Will back the Braves here as small faves. 4* Money-Maker ATLANTA BRAVES
