Atlanta at Las Vegas

The Athletics are playing in Sacramento as they await their new stadium, and they are muddling through at 38-55 on the season. It isn't uncommon for bad teams to have good stretches over the course of a long season. The Athletics have played a lot better over their last nine games where they are 5-4. Atlanta was expected to be a lot more competitive than their 39-51 record as we near the All-Star break. The Braves are 2-10 in their last 12 games, were just swept by Baltimore three straight, and lost 10-1 to the A's last night. The Braves look listless, while the Athletics are playing well. Make the play on the Athletics.
