Daily Bet - Braves vs Cubs

Written by: Zach Hammer, The Reserve Clause


Spread: Over/Under 11.5

While Josh is golfing on one of the Top 5 courses in America, I'm going to try to fill in for him. It's been almost a week since he gave everyone any insight into how to lose your money. I thought that I'd throw a curveball and actually win all of you some dough. I know...it's a crazy thought, right?

Here we go. If there is one team in all of baseball that I love betting against, it's the Chicago Cubs. This is one of the worst offenses in baseball and they continue to put money in my pocket by betting against them. So why change my philosophy today?

The Braves are a flat-out buzzsaw right now. They hit, catch and pitch as well as any team in the MLB. The easiest way to predict wins is by looking at a team's bullpen (most notably the back end). The Braves have perhaps the best 7, 8 and 9th inning guys in the business. That may not mean much to you, but to betters, having a good bullpen means no runs. Aside from the bullpen, Atlanta has the shut down SP to bridge the gap.

MY PICK: UNDER of 11.5
