MACK’S MLB WINNING EDGE PLAY!
(MLB) Reds (CIN) vs. Braves (ATL),
Total: 8.50 | 100.00 Under
Result: Win
Atlanta has played to the Under all season and despite Morton being on the mound today, he has better strikeout numbers in his last several starts and batters are only hitting .213 against him. The total has gone Under in 11 of Atlanta's last 12 games at home as well. Morton should be able to deal in this one and their bullpen has improved and has been solid lately. The Braves have played much tighter in the last few weeks; defensively they have been able to defend better, taking out runners on bases. The Braves also haven’t been cranking out the offense either, especially in their last seven games, averaging just 3 runs per game so the offense will be limited. The Under is 5-2 in the Reds last 7 Monday games and the Under is 9-4-1 in the Braves last 14 Monday games. Martinez has been good on the road with a road ERA of 2.74 for the Reds and he should be able to check the offense that the Braves might generate. If there’s runs, it should stay under the total as both these pitchers will pitch a better game today.

Best bet: take the Under the Total.
