Matchup History

Trends
Atlanta is 42-14 in their last 56 games following a win and 97-46 in their last 143 games overall while the over is 20-4-2 in their last 26 road games against a team with a winning record. New York is 1-5 in their last 6 games overall and 1-4 in their last 5 division games while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 home games.
Pick
I’m rolling with the over here. I think the Braves can get to Tylor Megill here as they’ve been hitting righties fairly well so far this season. New York had success against Spencer Strider last season and I think they could at least scratch a couple of runs off of him here to help us push this game up and over the number.
