Kenny G recommended laying the –130 with the Braves to sweep Miami. He trusts Joey Wentz, citing the left-hander’s prior start against the Marlins on 8/9 when he allowed just one run over 5.1 innings in a 7-1 win. Wentz is in what Kenny calls a classic bounce-back spot after getting shelled by the Mets his last time out, and arm fatigue is not a concern. On the other side, Ryan Gusto brings a 5.05 ERA and was tagged for three earned in six frames by Atlanta earlier this month before being lit up by Toronto. Kenny hammered Miami’s 4.21 bullpen ERA and recent slide— runs scored the past six games: 2-2-5-6-2-6 — as reasons to fade them. Although Atlanta owns a poor 25-39 road record and a middling bullpen, Kenny likes how the lineup has produced 11, 1, 4, 2, 7, 1, and 11 runs over its last seven contests and believes the current offensive form outweighs the road woes, making Braves –130 his best lean on the matchup.

Lindquist flagged stolen-base props for Atlanta hitters versus Ryan Gusto, quipping “no me Gusto” about the opposing arm. He explained that books are slow to adjust one-way SB markets—bettors hammer the juicy +330 to +500 numbers while the house quietly wins on the heavy minus side—so plus prices can still carry value. After cashing Ronald Acuna, Michael Harris and Jurickson Profar steals in recent slates, Lindquist expects more green lights against Gusto, a pitcher he implies struggles controlling the running game. He advised mining Braves SB lines before the market "gets nuked."

Bill Harrelson urged bettors to take Ronald Acuna Jr under 1.5 total bases. Acuna has fallen short of that mark in 7 of his last 10 games and 13 of his last 20. Counting back to the start of last season he has stayed under in 57 % of 100-plus games. Books such as Caesars, Hard Rock, Sleeper, and DraftKings are juicing the under as well. Harrelson pointed to favorable pitcher splits: the opposing right-hander is allowing a .238 average to right-handed hitters compared to a .272 overall clip. With Acuna’s own average sitting at .305 versus righties but the long-term under trend holding strong, Harrelson thinks the numbers justify fading the superstar’s total-bases line.
