Atlanta Braves DFS SPIN
Austin Riley went 3-for-4 with an RBI ground-rule double in Saturday’s loss to the Cardinals. Riley’s 102.6-mph RBI ground-rule double in the top of the fifth extended the Braves’ lead to three runs. The 25-year-old slugger is batting .229 with two home runs in the month of August (96 at-bats).
St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Nolan Arenado went 4-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday as the Cardinals took down the Braves. Arenado roped a first-pitch curveball from Charlie Morton to left field for a two-run home run in the bottom of the fifth. He also reached base on a 98.9-mph, ground-rule double in the bottom of the first, and hit a couple of singles. The star third baseman has had two four-hit games since August 19th.

Braves vs. Cardinals MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Even though the pitching matchup isn’t in their favor, I’m still backing the Braves tonight as an underdog. They’ve won 10 of their last 11 road games, with last night’s blown lead being the only exception over that span. They’ve also won four of their last five games against the NL Central, four of their last five games when facing a team with a winning record and are 39-12 in their last 51 games after allowing five runs or more in their previous game. Best yet, Atlanta is an impressive 42-14 in its last 56 games coming off a loss.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: ATLANTA BRAVES +112
