Let’s kick off this week with a Player Hit plus Moneyline double on a team looking for a bounce back win.

Bet: Acuna 1+ Hit + Braves ML -105 Draftkings

The Atlanta Braves are looking to bounce back after losing to the worst team in the MLB yesterday, the Oakland A’s.  Atlanta sits in 1st place in the NL East with a 32-22 overall record and an even better 17-8 record on the road this season.  The Braves +57 run differential is the 3rd best in the majors sitting behind the Rays and the Rangers.  Oakland comes into this game winning 1 out of their last 10 games and are 11-45 overall on the season with a staggering -194 run differential.  The second worst run differential is -69 by the Royals.

Tonight’s pitching matchup features Bryce Elder on the mound for the Braves vs JP Sears for the A’s.  Elder is 3-0 on the season with a 2.01 ERA including a 1.84 ERA in the month of May.  When Elder has started the Braves are 8-2 on the season.  On the other side is Sears who sits 0-3 with a 4.7 ERA.  Sears has been better at home but the A’s are just 2-8 with Sears starting.

Sears is a Left-Handed pitcher which bodes well for the Braves as they are batting .312 vs LHP compared to .238 vs RHP.  They also have a .942 OPS vs LHP’s this season.  The Braves have multiple batters hitting well over .300 vs LHP including Ronald Acuna who is hitting .340 with a 1.03 OPS.  Acuna is also batting .343 on the road this season, best in the lineup for the Braves.  When Acuna has 1+ hit vs a LH SP the Braves are 7-2 on the season.
