Diamondbacks vs Braves Pick, Betting Analysis
by Derek Carty
We don't like to bet against Chris Sale because he is really, really good. I have nothing bad to say about Chris Sale as a pitcher.
However, a lot of times what we see with these ace pitchers is that the sportsbooks realize nobody wants to bet against them. Because of that, the lines get shaded in that direction, which creates value on the other side. That’s exactly what we’re getting today with Sale.
He’s facing a Diamondbacks lineup that has been very, very low-strikeout lately. With the books overvaluing the top-line ace name and a tough matchup for punchouts, the value is clearly on the under.
Pick: Chris Sale Under 6.5 Strikeouts (Play Down to -120)
