Atlanta Braves Game 1 ML (-145 @ MGM) I don't bet game outcomes often, but I really like this spot for the Braves at this price. Now both of these teams need to win 1 game from the doubleheader to make the playoffs and bounce ARI out. In game 1 we get Schwellenbach vs Megill. Here are the numbers between the two: Schwellenbach: 3.47 ERA, 3.38 FIP, 1.07 WHIP, 25.7% K-rate Megill: 3.98 ERA, 3.36 FIP, 1.27 WHIP, 26.7% K-rate So pretty similar numbers, except Megill puts more guys on base, which is a big deal against a good offense with pop. We've seen both of these guys face these lineups before. Here are Schwellenbach's games vs NYM: 9/24: 7 IP, 3 HA, 1 ER, 4 K's 7/27: 7 IP, 2 HA, 0 ER, 11 K's Two really good outings from him this season against this team! Megill hasn't had the same type of success between this season and last: 7/27: 6 IP, 5 HA, 4 ER, 4 K's 8/22/23: 4.2 IP, 8 HA, 3 ER, 5 K's 8/11/23: 5.1 IP, 9 HA, 5 ER, 3 K's 5/1/23: 5.2 IP, 4 HA, 3 ER, 4 K's This ATL team hits Megill well. From a motivation standpoint, I like this first game for ATL a lot too. If they can win game 1, they can save NY Cy Young Ace Chris Sale for Game 1 of the WC series, which is huge. Meanwhile, NYM is saving their better starter for Game 2 (Severino). If the Braves win game 1, you have to look at NYM in game two, but I'm sure the books will react accordingly as well. So let's get in on a nice price for game 1!
