good week so far going 4-0 for +8.6 units, the time away worked wonders for me...
(MLB) Cleveland@Atlanta
2* Atlanta -140
(Davis/Ortiz) We see lots of value here with Atlanta laying -140. Davis is a pitcher we're looking to fade more often than not, the Indians are 4-10 in his starts including 1-6 in his road starts. He allows a ton of baserunners as he's allowed 79 runners in only 38 innings on the road and he simply doesn't give his team many chances to win as their usually down very early in ball games, throw in the fact that the Tribe's bullpen has struggled and we like Atlanta's chances today. Cleveland is 11-19 on the road this season and are 1-5 on the road when the total's 8 to 8.5 runs which is where this opened. Ortiz is 41-16 against a righthander as a favorite at home and 57-21 overall as a favorite at home, and his better games this season have occurred here in Atlanta. Historically Atlanta has thrived in interleague play going 29-15 the last 3 seasons, and in June going 42-26 in this time, the Braves looked good yesterday and we're thinking they can carry over that momentum against Davis today.
Happy Fathers Day to all the other Dads! Best of Luck to everyone.
