Cash Out Sports Picks urged bettors to grab Atlanta, noting Grant Holmes’ 2.93 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and three straight quality starts over 30.2 May innings. He’s throttled the current Boston lineup to a .150/.261/.350 slash in 20 AB. The Red Sox limp in on a 0-5 skid, averaging just two runs per game while missing Alex Bregman, Masataka Yoshida and Triston Casas. Lucas Giolito’s overall 5.27 ERA and uncertain form leave Boston vulnerable. With the Braves’ superior talent and Holmes dealing, the tout expects Atlanta to take care of business at Truist Park.

The Bettor Mark advised taking Grant Holmes under 4.5 strikeouts at plus-money. He pointed out that San Diego sits in the middle of the league in K-rate over the last seven days and has historically made contact against right-handers. Holmes has topped four punch-outs only once in his last four outings and rarely works past the sixth inning, limiting his volume ceiling. Mark expects the Padres’ left-heavy lineup to force early trouble and thinks four strikeouts is Holmes’ ceiling, making the under a +EV play.

JD Bets targeted Grant Holmes’ control issues by betting the right-hander to issue more than 1.5 walks in Washington. Holmes is averaging 2.86 free passes per start and has topped this line in five of his last six trips to the mound (4-4-3-4-2-4). The lone miss came against Cincinnati, a team that rarely takes walks. The Nationals, however, rank ninth in MLB at 3.4 walks drawn per game and have maintained that patience even while riding a five-game skid. JD pointed out that Holmes’ recent improvement—just two walks in his last outing—likely owed more to facing another undisciplined lineup than to any real change in command. With Washington’s hitters grinding counts and Holmes historically wild (11.8% BB-rate), JD expects at least two free passes and labeled the over 1.5 walks a "cash-money" prop.

Razzle put Grant Holmes on the tournament radar, contingent on weather in Atlanta. Holmes owns a reverse-splits profile— all of his early MLB homers before last week came off righties— giving him a slight edge versus a lefty-leaning Nationals lineup. The Braves are sizeable –192 favorites, and Holmes’ 4.5 K-prop is juiced to the over. Recent form is volatile (two of last three starts disastrous), but he flashed upside with a 24-DK-point outing against the Dodgers. If the radar turns green, Razzle will sprinkle Holmes into GPP pools for sub-10 % ownership leverage.

Adam Rosenberg played Grant Holmes under 4.5 hits allowed at even money on Caesars. He joked about Holmes’s ‘insurrectionist’ beard but likes the actual underlying metrics: strong SIERRA, elite ground-ball rate and above-average strikeout percentage. Cincinnati’s last 30 plate appearances versus right-handed pitching produce an anemic wOBA, with six hitters batting .231 or worse. Because Chris Sale worked 6.2 innings Tuesday, Atlanta’s bullpen is rested, so manager Brian Snitker can hook Holmes early—important since Holmes has topped 17.5 outs only once in his last five home starts. Rosenberg noted Holmes has given up 5+ hits just twice in his last 10 outings (once this year at Arizona, once last August) and has not surrendered more than four hits at Truist Park since August against Miami. With even-money juice and a pitcher profile built to limit contact, Rosenberg labeled it his second Wednesday prop.

Collin Whitchurch is on Grant Holmes over 2.5 walks at plus money. Holmes sports a 13% BB-rate through his first big-league innings and now faces a Dodgers lineup that leads MLB in walk rate and sees the third-most pitches per plate appearance. Holmes leans heavily on a four-seam/curveball combo that frequently misses arm-side, and Los Angeles ranks top-2 against both offerings. With the Dodgers’ patient stars forcing long at-bats, Whitchurch projects Holmes for 3-4 free passes and believes the plus price does not reflect the matchup-driven risk.

Zarpentine faded Grant Holmes by taking over 2.5 earned runs at -130. The Dodgers have erupted for 10.2 runs per game during a five-game winning streak, with Andy Pages, Freddie Freeman, Teoscar Hernandez, and Shohei Ohtani all locked in. Holmes sports a 4.50 ERA and has allowed 3+ earned in three of his last five starts, including four runs in four innings against Los Angeles in late March. Given LA's current tear, Zarpentine expects more of the same.

Calling it easier to fade one pitcher than dissect the entire Dodgers lineup, Zarpentine advised betting Grant Holmes Over 2.5 Earned Runs at -130. Los Angeles has erupted for 51 runs during a five-game winning streak (10.2 per game) with Andy Pages, Freddie Freeman, Teoscar Hernandez and Shohei Ohtani all scorching hot. Holmes has already surrendered 3+ earned in three of his last five starts and was tagged for four runs in four innings by these same Dodgers in late March. With LA locked in at the plate, Zarpentine expects Holmes to get battered again.

Ron Romanelli advised taking the Braves money-line because Grant Holmes has been a different pitcher at Truist Park. Holmes’ last two home outings added up to 9.2 innings of one-run baseball with 13 strikeouts, a stark contrast to his April appearance at Dodger Stadium where he was tagged for four runs in four frames. Romanelli thinks the day off after a taxing Coors Field series will help Atlanta’s bats, while Yoshinobu Yamamoto arrives off his worst MLB start—four walks in five innings and a 3-0 loss to Pittsburgh. With Holmes’ home splits, Atlanta’s rested lineup, and plus money on the board, Romanelli called the Braves the best price play of Friday’s slate.

Guy Boston recommended the plus-money prop of Grant Holmes allowing over 2.5 earned runs (+105 odds). Although further detailed reasoning wasn't provided in this snippet, the decision aligns with Guy Boston's focus on targeting pitchers with historically weaker performances. While full contextual supporting evidence wasn't available here, Holmes' selection suggests a favorable hitting matchup for the Phillies or possible struggles from Holmes based on implied past performance data Guy Boston referenced.

Tokyo Brandon is strongly negative on Grant Holmes' prospects for success against the Dodgers, calling him a vulnerable and inexperienced pitcher who's accustomed only to short outings of three or four innings rather than extended appearances. Brandon underscores the dangerous position Holmes faces, as he squares off against a Dodgers team featuring arguably the best lineup in baseball history and a fully rested, potent batting order. He also expresses concern about Holmes' limited career experience and short track record, compounded by Atlanta’s weak bullpen behind him and team's winless early record. Brandon openly predicts Holmes will struggle significantly in this challenging spot.
