Both pitchers have been in terrible form, as Woo has 13 earned runs in his last two starts and Holmes 8 earned runs in his last two. The Braves have the best offense in baseball and both teams are better against right-handed pitching, with 11 runs/9 against righties, so with both pitchers struggling, I will go over the 8.5 runs in this one.
