Atlanta at St. Louis

Atlanta is off to a strong 4-1 start and it looks like their pitching is better than perhaps expected. The Braves have allowed just 12 total runs through five games, or 2.4 a contest. St. Louis has dropped the first two games in this series and appears vulnerable once again. The biggest takeaway from this game is the Braves' success vs. St. Louis. St. Louis is a woeful 11-23 in their last 34 games vs Atlanta. They have also been taking it on the chin at home where they are just 4-13 in their last 17 at home vs the Braves. I like Atlanta in this one.
