Atlanta is 37-14 in their last 51 Tuesday games and 36-15 in their last 51 game one’s of a series. The over is 4-1 in Atlanta’s last 5 Tuesday games. Miami is 4-0 in their last 4 games and 5-1 in their last 6 home games. The over is 6-2 in Miami’s last 8 games. The over is 5-0 in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.

Pick

The Braves come into this game as one of the best teams in baseball and will have Bryce Elder on the mound for this game. Elder has been solid for Atlanta, allowing 0 earned runs in three of his last five starts. Miami will have Sandy Alcantara on the mound, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in four of his five starts this season. I like the under in this matchup.
