We faded Atlanta's price against Miami last week and paid for it, a 4-1 final that was part of an eight-game winning streak before New York snapped it two days later. That skid is real, back-to-back losses to the Yankees, including Saturday's 5-4 nail-biter, but neither game came down to Atlanta's lineup falling apart. Grant Holmes takes the ball off a strong second half, a 3.67 ERA on the season. Cam Schlittler starts for New York, and his numbers hide a real split: a 2.26 ERA overall, but a 4.32 ERA and 1.34 WHIP at home against a 1.10 ERA on the road. His last time out, the Cardinals touched him for four runs in three innings before he'd finished the fourth. Atlanta is still comfortably in first place in the NL East, and Schlittler's home number is the gap the price isn't accounting for. Atlanta is the right side this afternoon.

New York's offense is third in runs scored, No. 1 in on-base percentage, and No. 1 in slugging after beating Atlanta yesterday, 12-9. Marcus Stroman has thrown well since resting his knee for over two months. In three starts, he's allowed six runs in 15 innings with the Yankees going 2-1. Atlanta's offense is 21st in runs scored, 16th in on-base percentage, 27th in steals, and 20th in slugging. Starter Grant Holmes walks a lot of batters (50 in 105 innings), and the team is 4-10 in his last 14 starts. He allowed 11 base runners in three innings in his last start (five runs). The Braves are on a 6-13 slide, so back the visitors. Play New York.

The New York Yankees' pitching staff is depleted. They came out of the all-star break after 4 days' rest last night and had to start a bullpen pitcher, as they had no healthy starters. Schmidt, Gil, Fried, Yarbrough, and several bullpen members are on the IL. The Yankees send Will Warren to the mound, and he has had some very shaky outings. Atlanta turns to Joey Wentz, and that is a problem for the Yankees. They have a history of not faring well against a pitcher they have not seen, and for the season, the Yankees are just 11-11 against left-handed starters. The Yankees are 5-13 on the season in games with a line from -125 to +125. I like Atlanta in this one.
