The Atlanta Braves have scored at least four runs in six of their past seven games, including a total of 26 runs in their most recent three games.

In the last seven games played by the Washington Nationals, the over has a record of 5-2.

Given that the Atlanta Braves are unquestionably the stronger team, they have every right to be favored at home. However, this pricing is a little steep with AJ Smith-Shawver on the mound. Despite the fact that the Washington Nationals have not been scoring many runs, they have given up a lot of runs in their most recent games, and I anticipate that the Braves will continue to be in top form here. In the meantime, given that it is anticipated that the Minnesota Twins will achieve a better result and turn things around here, it is worthwhile to give a go to betting on the Twins covering the spread.
