MLB 19082016

Ok, after a heartbreaking defeat in the 9th innings, I'm looking at going 3/4.

Washington @ Atlanta

Time: 9:10am

Let's go over 9 runs in the Washington and Atlanta game and this is why!

Both teams starting rookie pitchers, let's hope we see some fireworks early and both team put on early runs.

The over for Braves is 5-1 in the past 6 games and also 5-0 against teams with a winning record. Braves rookie pitcher Rob Whalen got roughed up last start against the Nationals and could happen again. Looking at the Nationals trends they have gone over in 5 of their past 6 games against right handers and have been better after a loss bouncing back going over 4-1 after a loss.

LA Dodgers @ Philadelphia

Time: 9:05am

Ross Stripling is getting a surprise start against the Phillies and looks to have w better game me than his last start against the Pirates where he was lit up for 5 runs with 3 of them home runs. Dodgers First baseman Adrian Gonzalez is hitting hot form at the right time of the season.

On the other side of the coin the Phillies have Jerad Eickhoff starting who has won his past 2 starts but they haven't been that convincing with him leaking some runs in both wins.

Look for both teams to have their way with the pitchers in this game and should be a high scoring game.
