MLB Premium Play 08/28: Atlanta Braves @ San Diego Padres


MLB - 965 Atlanta Braves @ 966 San Diego Padres

(Starting Pitchers: K. Medlen vs A. Werner)

***TRIPLE DIME PLAY***

San Diego is now the hottest team in the league with eight wins in a row, however they will face the toughest test yet to their winning streak tonight when they face the unstoppable Kris Medlen. He has been amazing lately with a 3-0 record and 0.40 ERA on his last three starters that includes a complete game shutdown against the Padres. Even with San Diego carrying momentum right now, I believe Medlen won't have problems in dominating them in such a pitcher-friendly Park and even if he isn't as impressive as lately tonight, there's always the great bullpen of the Braves that is rested for tonight.

The Padres will start Werner today, who is coming from a good debut against the Pirates. He allowed two runs and four hits in six innings, but he walked four batters while just striking out two players, which shows that his debut wasn't that impressive and that he is likely to have a letdown tonight, especially when he posted a 3.00 ERA, but had a 6.59 FIP and 5.65 xFIP and he will now face the second most patient lineup in the league with 9.2% BB%. 

With a huge SP edge favoring Atlanta tonight and with Werner being likely to struggle tonight against the patient lineup of the Braves, I expect Atlanta to very comfortably get revenge over yesterday's loss and win tonight's game with ease. Therefore, I'll be taking the Braves in here.Triple Dime Play!

Pick: 5 units (Triple Dime Play) on 965 Atlanta Braves RL-1 (w/ K. Medlen) @ -140 / 1.72 on 5Dimes
