00:00where the Braves will wrap up their series with the Boston Red Sox today. Chris Sale,
00:05who's been absolutely fantastic. Later this afternoon, we'll face off with Peyton Tolley.
00:10The Braves are light favorites, minus 136. I see here on the money line, so you can get a little
00:15bit of juice here on Boston. They're not playing great baseball, as we know, plus 116 and the total
00:21of six and a half because both pitchers are pretty good. Do you have a lean on this one here?
00:26Is it simply put, Braves better than Red Sox, or could you make a case for Boston today?
00:32Braves better than Red Sox, and I think this is Sale Day back in Fenway. Chris Sale, like you said,
00:37has been unbelievable this season, just turning back the clock to well before his injury days,
00:41his early days. He's been as dominant as any pitcher in the National League and really in baseball.
00:46So you heard it here first. He's my pick for the NL Cy Young. You can get him at a
00:50pretty good price
00:51tag still at plus 850. So I really like that play for a futures bet. But before we get there,
00:57I think he's going to have a game today back in Fenway. He's already got a 7-3 record,
01:041.89 ERA on the season. And the guy's just been unbelievable, even better lately. He's allowed
01:11no more than two runs. He's allowed more than two runs, just one start this season. And he's given
01:16up six over his past seven outings. So he's dialed in. I don't see how Boston's not great
01:23offense is really going to be able to deal with him. And to add to that, Sale has one of
01:29the best
01:30offenses behind him to give him run support. Braves are averaging 5.2 runs per game. That's
01:35the third best mark in baseball. So even if he's not at his best, which I think he will be,
01:41he's got Atlanta great offense behind him. Like I said, the Red Sox offense has not been good.
01:46They're the one of the worst, the lowest scoring teams in baseball. Less than four runs a game,
01:503.8 per game. So, you know, Sale has faced Boston a few times, 3-1, 253 ERA over his
01:57career,
01:58five starts. So I think he improves on that. In addition to the money line, I kind of like the
02:03look of the run line at plus 132. I think there's very much an easy world that Atlanta can win
02:08by two
02:08in this one. I think Sale keeps Boston basically off the board. And I like the Red Sox under two
02:14and a
02:15half. I also have past money. So those are two other plays in this game. I think it is worth
02:18looking
02:19at that.
