22 Sep 01:05 Washington Nationals vs Atlanta Braves

This is an interesting game in which I think the sportsbook have the odds wrong here. The Braves are heavy favourites to win this game with odds of 1.37, now yes the Braves are the better team in this matchup, but they are not in the form! In their previous 6 games, the Braves have only managed to win one game. The reason for their dip in form is because of the fact they have nothing to play for, they are now waiting for the playoffs. Now the Nats have won 3 games of their last 6, they haven’t had anything to play for in a while. In front of the home fans, I’m giving them a spread because they will either cover this or cause an upset.

Suggested Bet: (+2.5 Washington Nationals)

22 Sep 01:15 Philadelphia Phillies vs New York Mets

The Phillies just came from a series win against the Braves, and I’m trusting them to bring that momentum into this game for a win. Ranger Suarez hasn’t played against the Mets in over a year but the last time he did he only allowed 1 run on 4 hits in 7 innings! The Phillies have the better bullpen and offense, overall they are the better team. Pick them to win this one.

Suggested Bet: Phillies ML

22 Sep 01:40 Chicago Cubs vs Pittsburgh Pirates

The Series’ between these two have produced a lot of runs and that is because the Cubs have a .290 batting average against the Pirates this season. In the Pirates’ ast 5 games only one has gone under, they are hitting the ball at .250. I like the over for this game.

Suggested Bet: Over 7.5
